- Title
Rediscovering My Voice.
- Authors
Brook, Itzhak
- Abstract
The author reflects on how his speech disability offered some benefits. He claimed that as an infectious disease physician, he loves teaching. However, when he was diagnosed with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, the clinical management he received led him to have an impaired speech and caused him frustrations. The author recalled how a lecture he gave about his throat cancer changed his views on his disease and how it inspired patients with the same condition.
