Just feeling this one out...

I have institutional support from my workplace to start my PhD. However, it has been a life-long dream to go to med school and have a career as a practioner but with expertise on the disability policy that affects all of us, adults and children, with disabilities. My clinical interests are in physical medicine and rehailitation.

Honestly, how would you guys feel about taking yourselves or one of your kiddos to a doc with CP-- and noticable CP at that. My fine motor skills are perfect (ie: could do botox, emg, etc safely), but have majorly messed up legs. I think it's one thing to say that people with disabilities can and should have any career they want, but it's another thing entirely when it actually happens. Jan Brunstrum, a doc in St. Louis, also has CP. I'm a bit more affected than she is.

Whatcha think? Honesty is welcome. Swift, I'm sure you've got a thing or two to say about this.
