I've worked with a few doctors now, at various points in their careers (med student, resident, fellow, attending) and in various specialties. A "pattern" I've noticed is that most physicians-in-train...

That is really, really tough about your mom. I assume you're a teenager or young enough to be living/dependent on your parents. A good speech therapist SHOULD be talking directly to your parents/mom a...

When I was young and still in primary school (think 1st/2nd grade) I had some speech therapy to get rid of the worst of it. However, I didn't really like it and found it counter intuitive. To me sitti...

what do you mean, "non-genetically caused stutters"?...

i'd say this is a sort of false equivalency. stutterers stutter, so there's at least one reason to be wary of speaking in public: they don't want to stutter. non-stutterers don't stutter, but there co...

i wouldn't use the term "subconscious", but yeah, i get what you're saying. i think it's different though, now that i think about it... i think it's about the wide sense of "empathy" - which takes us ...

Thanks man. You assured my hope that practice will make it easier. In school I held presentations all the time (usually short, 5-10min) and I had no problem with that. In college I never had to hold a...

I'm a college student at the moment who's premed, and my stammer is really holding me back from committing to being a physician. How, in your experience, was daily like for your physician client affec...

As a stutterer I really respect that you didn't you didn't let it hold you back from doing what you want to do. Have you ever done any formal speech therapy? Or have you gotten this far on your own ...

Thanks again for the response. I'm relieved to hear that if I had a child he/she wouldn't mimic my speech and develop bad habits or a the wrong feedbook loop for speech that I have. In regards to ...

My mom used to be a person who stutters, as am I. Far as I know it wasn't in her family....

you're on the stop. kind of a pressured filled situation for those who turn it into that. Plus, a lot of non stutterers arent very fluent in public speaking situations, even if they dont stutter....

Can non-genetically caused stutters be passed on to future generations? ...

Good news: It only takes two (one if you're in a pinch)! PS. Don't pinch the one you have left. PPS. Ovaries are an acceptable substitute, but double ditto on not pinching....

I am one and I love public speaking. Oddly enough growing and doing presentations in high school that's the only time I never stuttered. Face to face with a girl I liked, or my strict mother on the o...

Do you have relatives who stutter? ...
