Content

Mostly by making it more difficult to make and receive phone calls, but I try to expose myself to it where I can and slowly ease through the blocks (I don't even wanna know what other people see or hear when I'm on the phone in the same room 😂); makes introductions harder with patients and sometimes asking or explaining certain things to them; makes handover a bit more nerve wracking, even though I think I'm actually starting to get more used to it. But despite this, nobody at work, staff or patient, has ever given me shit for it (bar one quite elated patient who I wouldn't count, and I'm not even sure if it was mockingly). I think having a stutter can make us think it seems worse from the outside tbh, and I feel like I'm only just starting to come to terms with that myself.
