I was just watching the news and a deafblind medical student was talking about her hope to become a doctor. I was inspired by her spirit but wondered how this would work in practical terms. There seems to be a cultural shift towards supporting the hopes and dreams of individuals and a fear of causing offence.If anyone has a framework for how they think through this issue I would love to hear it?
- efkiel 4y agoHelp her question and understand the underlying reason(s) why she wants to go into medicine. (status, money, wanting to help other, being intellectually challenge, curiosity for anatomy/biology, ...) Find other fields where those wants can be better met by a deafblind person. Help her reframe her initial idea into one of these field.
