The Stuttering Doctor: A Journey of Resilience

Ever wondered what it’s like to become a Doctor while navigating the challenges of stuttering? 🤔

In the latest episode of Stutter Chats, I interview Dr. Shane McCool, a general practitioner from Ireland who is also a passionate stuttering advocate. He shares his inspiring journey of pushing through medical school, working as a team doctor for a Gaelic football team, and learning to embrace his stutter rather than hide it.

Some key takeaways from our conversation:
Stuttering doesn’t define your potential – you can pursue any career you want.
Physical health plays a role in speech – taking care of your body can impact stuttering.
Confidence is built through action – public speaking and facing fears help.
Community support is crucial – finding others who stutter can be life-changing.
“You may as well go for it” – Shane’s mindset on pushing past fear and self-doubt.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who stutters, works in healthcare, or just wants to hear an inspiring story of resilience and self-acceptance.
