i (23m) finished my last exam in medical school few days ago, i graduated from high school with brilliant grades, i had no interest in any career and i found my family are excited about medical school (the one and the only doctor in the whole extended family i guess) so i said “what the hell, lets do it”. i didnot think everything through, may be because the lack of knowledge about the nature of the job. my stutter always bothered me and i hate it but i became more social and braver while growing up. so when i started the medical school day by day my fear of stuttering was growing, “how the hell i am going to speak to patients and other doctors when i stutter with my damn name”, this thought was in my head all of the six years of medical school. i had many doubts about this career in my head because of multiple reasons stuttering was one them but maily because its hard and i didnot had interest in medicine in the first place but time passes even myself dont know how i got through this. in my opinion it depends on him if he is willing to be doctor dont hold him back he seems smart and strong and he will be great and find a way to get through it. but he has to know its a long hard way and maybe harder for him if he had bad thoughts like mine. ps: he will have oral exams, it feels like hell🤦🏻‍♂️ i cant help you with the interviews and residency parts, i still dont know. but i am thinking going something like radiology as there is fewer contact with others (also i am a bit lazy😂)
