My daughter requests to become a surgeon but she's vastly disabled, what should I recount her?

I have a beautiful daughter who's 16 and she tells me everyday how much she desires to be a doctor, a surgeon specifically. She watches shows about doctors performing operations everyday and wants to be only just like them, she's also very intelligent, she has a great mind and really excels surrounded by science and math. The thing is, she was born very premature and have Cerebral Palsy and can't walk at all, can't use her hands particularly well, and is very dependent on me for a lot of things, and other needs physical assistance.

I don't think she can really be a surgeon with her disability because I've never see any surgeons or other doctors with her condition, but at the same time I want her to do anything she puts her mind to. I always awaken her and tell her that yes she can become one somehow, but at the same time I know in the put money on of my mind that she might not be able to. Especially since she's very frail and helpless in seriously of ways. What can I do to help her achieve her goal? Or, do you expect that she will change her career goals?
Answers:
I would suggest that you support her in her endeavor and allow her to discover if she is capable of succeeding contained by this field. Allow her to talk with a surgeon and discus the possibility of her proceeding. She must craft up her own mind. Good Luck And God Bless
I think that she will have to silver her career goal a little because if she cannot fully control her hand and keep them very steady then she will no know how to operate safely on patients. No hospital could insure her as a surgeon. She could still be a great doctor in many other medical field. If you don't want to break it to her then someone down the line will as she persues her medical degree.
Im sorry but she wont be capable of be a surgeon with CP, i am have not got any suggestion on how to make her change her career target though..

sorry for being worse than no help at all
Well if she is intelligent and is ambitious let her be. Who knows? She might fine the cure for it. I right to be heard let her pursue it. I understand that you don't want to give her "false hope", but she sounds brilliant. Just let her pursue it. That is what life is about, erudition what you can and can not do. I hope this helps. And i hope she does very well within life.
First of adjectives, bless your heart. What a wonderful mother you are and what a wonderful daughter you have. If she excels in science and math and feels close to the medical field is what she really wants, then why not inspire her to go into the scientific side of medicine. She could work on cures or better ways to treat patients in need her disability getting in the way. There are so many things she could do to assist people.
I read not long about research that using stem cells and a basic inhaler that could irradicate CP in ten years. Perhaps your daughter could dedicate the next 10 years to that research, and then become a surgeon when the cure happen? (I read this in a newspaper within the later 2 months, I'm sure a google search will find the article) My love, respect, and best wishes X
She's only 16 years old. It's extremely probable that she's going to want to progress her career, especially when she wants to go to med academy and sees all the coursework. For example, my dad got a master's surrounded by accounting. He works for the FAA. That has nothing to do with accounting! only just keep encouraging her, maybe she could be some other kind of doctor?
Let her follow her dreams and pray to god for her everyday.If you really believe in her and she believes in herself anything she puts her mind to she can achieve.
First off I would like to say that you are terribly lucky to have a daughter with great dreams. She might not be surgeon because they do have to be steady but she can become a doctor contained by other things. Plus
I think she is capable of being a doctor or anything she wants. Cerebral palsy can’t be cured, but treatment will often improve a child's capability.Many children go on to enjoy near-normal adult lives if their disabilities are properly manage.
but don't ever crush her dreams by telling her she cant be a doctor because of her condition. who knows in a couple of years in that might be a cure. Just tell her to work hard if she wants to be a doctor. Later surrounded by the future she will realize what she can and cant do and she may end up being a doctor after adjectives. just not a surgeon

good luck
Tell her that if it is her devotion that she should never give up no matter what people give an account her. She will get stronger through this journey. Source(s): experience, not in the surgeon nouns tho
I would deflect her to things she COULD do.

I've read a lot of the responses and I'm a teacher, so I have some experience within trying to help kids find a career that they will be successful in.

Yes, it's other nice to encourage people that "you can do anything." It's a good sentiment. However, within real life, it doesn't always work out that agency. I am very clumsy and not the least bit athletic naturally. Literally I trip over my own foot once a week. It would be unrealistic for me to expect to be a professional athlete.

So, since your daughter clearly has a capable mind and is interested in drug, would she be interested in the research aspect of it? Who knows, perhaps sooner or later they (maybe even her) will discover a way to help her get more control within her hand muscles and she could become a surgeon, but I think that it could set her up for some disappointment if she keeps her mind set on that and finds out then that she never gets hired.
In order to be a surgeon you hold to have very steady hands and be faultlessly healthy, so she can't become a surgeon......maybe get her on SSI and she will never hold to work at all.....
