I was wondering if anyone here, preferbly a doctor knew anything about stuttering. Ive been stuttering since i was little. It's better now then when i was younger. My parents put me in speech classes in elementry school and junior high to help with it. The problem is i wouldnt stutter when i was in the class, but i would stutter outside of the class. My question is, is there anything that a doctor can do to help with it. I want to be a nurse and my parents said that this can affect from from being one beause i'll have to relay messages to doctors really fast and get to the point, and i can't do that with my stuttering. I heard of this little divice that was invented that you can put in your ear to help stop stuttering. Is this true? I need some advice!!

Information from The Stuttering Foundation of America is your best bet. Those devices don't work for everyone. Look for the book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" published by the Foundation and available in their e-store.
