Some stutters have serious problems with stutter and can hardly say their name. There are a few things more fundamental in this life than than speaking and communicating. Imagine every single time you...

Is it really??? I was fired from a job for not using the intercom system because I can't say what they wanted me to say. I would have to improvise and of course that's against company policy. This was...

Because blocking on every single word for 10 seconds or more isn't going to be a disability when it comes to dating and finding a job right?...

OP is not "letting" anything. If you read their other post, you'll know he or she has has a severe stutter, has nevertheless gone to dozens of interviews to try to find a job and has never been calle...

For me, repetition. I work in an industry that forces me to address a large group of people daily to brief various things (priorities, procedures etc) At first, I was terrified and had problems with s...

The National Stuttering Association launched a Military Support Network earlier this year. There are many people in the NSA with very successful military careers, in all branches and at all levels. Th...

I'm a Master Sergeant in the Air Force currently serving as a drill sergeant for USAF BMT. I have a stutter & have also interacted with a fair amount of trainees that stutter & they all manage...

Not me, but an older guy I know was a marine (probably ~50 years ago). During training the drill sergeant asked him his name and he couldn't say it. Once they realized he stutters they offered him the...

"Intellectually I'm made for this, but sadly sometimes my mouth can't verbalize what it's in my brain".I don't think I can relate to something as much as this quote....

Ah, it sounds like you're from outside the US, as our system is different. GP still requires you to do a three-year residency here. 4th year here is not internship. It's just a year of applying to res...

Went to college to be a paramedic and got a job soon after. Now I work as a diamond driller, its not my passion but much easier on my nerves....

First of all, MAJOR CONGRATS on making it through med school so far! You're achieving my dream, I hope to be where you are in a few years, but right now I'm just a lowly healthcare assistant. It's so ...

You've made it pretty far, I don't think I have the guts to do what you do. Maybe you can get an assistant to handle communication matters? Do physicians do that? ...

Well, for one, general practice doesn't see anywhere near the level of stress as residency would. I can decide my hours, my setting, my patients, whatever, and if I stutter, it won't be too much of a ...

....to be a doctor. I thought that was clear. "Do something else" is not a solution, or else I wouldn't have made this post in anguish......

If it doesn't work out and you can't cope with your stuttering disability, then try something else. There is no shame in changing careers. What do you want in life? Figure that out, even if you need t...

Lol, I literally just wondered if I should go into pathology or radiology in one of my comment here. But I won't. Even though they're the most uncharismatic of fields, my heart's just not in them. I r...

Just wondering, what specialty are you going to? Have you thought about radiology or pathology? If I ever made it into med school, those two would be my top choices. ...

Hello doc! *high fives* I hope you stick with it too. No doubt we've survived some of the hardest challenges in our lives, and it would be a shame if a speech impediment made all this pointless. There...

Thanks. There WAS a good discussion, from a lawyer no less...then he deleted all his posts. No idea why. They were very insightful and illustrated just how detrimental having a stutter is when moving ...
