Day 4: The most disheartening thing said by a medical professional

When I told a practitioner that I dreamed of exploring the country to see as many birds as possible, she told me I would not be able to tolerate driving a regular vehicle, and suggested I try to find a van with hand controls. I was afraid to drive for a long time after that, but eventually realized she was full of s**t and drive all the time.
 
It still amazes me, though, that the words of a so-called medical authority carry such a wallop. Once they get into your head, getting them out takes a lot of commitment, education, and chocolate.
