Hey All
i was just wondering if there was any info out there on students wishing to persue a career as physicians with certain disabilities. When i began to experiance some difficulty, primarely about the future, and began to get depressed i was diagnosed with OCD. However although its been effecting me for some time i have mannaged to graduate magna cum laude with a B.Sc. in biology, recieving departmental honors and a biology excellence award upon graduation. I have wanted to be a physician my whole life. ever since i could remember my mom and i going to go visit my dad in Mexico when he was in med school......but this whole thing has really bummed me out, and actually deturred me from taking the MCAT's, becayse i figure how can i be a physician with a "mental illness" i guess. although this is all very difficult for me and since i did not want to stop going to school, i was accepted into an M.Sc program in NY in molecular Biology, and am currently doing that along with teaching undergraduate science labs at the same university. i am an extreemly well rounded preson, played division 1&2 lacrosse in college, am extreemly personable, and perfectly adjusted as well as personable....any advice would greatly appreachiated if there is any out there
thanks
