Doctor plz help?!


Question:

Doctor plz help?

I was wondering if anyone here, preferbly a doctor knew anything about stuttering. Ive been stuttering since i was little. It's better now then when i was younger. I only stutter sometimes, but when i do stutter it's those important times where i need not to stutter. I don't stutter when i read or anything like that, it's only speaking.Usually when i'm trying to explain something. My parents put me in speech classes in elementry school and junior high to help with it.The problem is i wouldnt stutter when i was in the class, but i would stutter outside of the class. My question is, is there anything that a doctor can do to help with it. I want to be a nurse and my parents said that this can affect from being one beause i'll have to relay messages to doctors really fast and get to the point, and i can't do that with my stuttering. I heard of this little divice that was invented that you can put in your ear to help stop stuttering. Is this true? I need advice!!

Answers:

I am a nurse and although I've never personally known a person who stutters I have known several nurses who are dyslexic (which can also be a problem during critical situations that require reading skills). If you want to become a nurse I would go for it. You can't be turned down when you apply to nursing school just because you stutter because that would be considered to be discrimination. The website below will give you some helpful information. Good luck.
