Will this be a problem?

Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics

<p>Well, I'm planning to become a pathologist (I'm still only a high school student so I have some time) but I recently discovered a really strange problem that I have where I see double when I stare into a microscope. Basically, anything that I have to look through with both of my eyes that are seperated into two sections (binoculars, etc.) and I brought the matter up with an opthamologist who told me the only thing I could do is to use one eye with the microscope (it has something to do with how my brain interprets the eyesight).</p>

<p>So, my question is, would this affect my career plans? I hope not. Is there a lot of work relating to microscopes in college/medical school? I'm pretty sure that some pathologists have to do a lot of work with them . . . or are there just some specialties I have to avoid?</p>

<p>This will be a slight annoyance in medical school, but nothing that will prevent you from excelling as a medical student. I do think that pathology, neurosurgery, and ENT are out as specialties, but I am not totally sure.</p>

<p>Maybe you'll learn to adjust the length better. But you will definitely get used to it when you're more familiar with it. Don't worry! I had the same problem :]</p>
