I think you are underestimating yourself and what you can do. I am a family nurse practitioner. I see patients in a clinic settings. I have had talk with patients and families about life, the future, and death. Instead of thinking what it holds you back me think of what it can help you. In the medical field, it disarms patients. It makes them not as afraid and will open up to you. It gives you the ability to listen better. More words are not better words. You can use quality of words. I make patients cry all the time (in a good way) when I talk about their problems. It will be rough at time. Trust me phones are the devil. I hate hate hate hate hate hate, did I say hate, having to call patients especially if they don’t know I’m calling. Maybe consider going into nursing, radiology, respiratory therapy? If a person can’t breath they can’t talk….
