Yes!: I strongly believe anyone can become a doctor (physician) as long as s/he wants to bad enough to put up with all the barriers & effort required. While it helps to be smart, you don't have to be the smartest. You just have to refuse to give up & be willing to press on & keep trying. Your condition may (not) limit your choice of specialties but in the end, you'd still be a physician helping others.
