Can you stay a physician if you have multiple sclerosis?i read somewhere it affects your memory. now i'm worried because i heard my family doctor has it and i don't want to leave his practice? he's not retiring, i'm worried it will affect his ability?

Most physicians who have MS do take high efficacy disease modifying medications plus adequate vitamin D. Many maintain aerobic exercises and dietary measures. It would not be inappropriate to kindly inquire about his future plans
