Hi!
I'm beginning to get ready to apply to med school next Fall and I'm starting to freak out a little bit. I have a very minor disability. Thanks to an injury in my left foot, I walk with a slight limp and my balance can be a bit off. I don't have any problem walking on even or even uneven surfaces, but stairs can be difficult. Other than that, my mobility is fine. I walk unassisted. The largest issue is that I'm unable to stand for long periods of time without rest in between. All of my other motor skills are excellent and I have no other circumstances which might impede my ability to do clinical rotations/residency. I'm looking for FP/IM. I have always thought I would be capable of undertaking medical school and the thought has never crossed my mind. Now I'm having horrible fantasies where I go to interviews, they see I'm midly disabled, and make up some excuse not to accept me. Am I overreacting?
