I was just thinking of this topic yesterday. My very unusual friend J was telling me the other day that he met a woman in his neighborhood coffee shop that he is somewhat interested in. These are the things that he likes: 1) she is a medical doctor; 2) she has never practiced medicine; 3)she has cerebal palsy. For him, her disorder is a plus.

Last week I met a phd resident who is all fucked up physically. He is in a wheelchair, has extremely limited use of his hands, and is all atwitter with ticks and goofy faces (but not tourette's). I wondered if he would ever be able to go into private practice because of the distraction of his disorder. However, when I thought about the hurdles overcome, I thought what an inspiration he could be.

It always comes down to the person dont you think? Peculiarities can be found anywhere, inside or out.
