Absolutely not, but I'd be lying if said I didn't have my fair share of doubts. I'm currently a pharmacist and you just imagine the crazy drug names that I can trip up on when I'm counselling patients or talking to other healthcare professionals. My breakthrough point was being super open about my stutter. It's become almost second nature. I get a lot of respect from my colleagues and patients because me saying that puts me in a pretty vulnerable position. That's all, just hope this motivates someone to do what they want/can achieve.
