There are countless careers you could persue in which a physical disability will have absolutely no impact on your ability to perform. Out of fairness to future clients & co-workers, why not explore those?

<p>Since you are interested in health-related careers, you might also want to consider the fact that in the right health-related career -- one where your disability is not a problem, such as pharmacy, dietetics, or social work -- having a visible physical disability is a tremendous asset. Some of the people you work with will have newly acquired disabilities and will be feeling that they have been totally screwed by fate and will never again have a normal life. Seeing a competent health professional with a visible disability matter-of-factly going about her work sends a powerful message. Unfortunately, though, I don't think your employer would consider paying you double for doing your job and providing this message at the same time. ;)</p>
