A member asked:
Can you still be a doctor if you have ms? i heard a rumor my doctor has it and i had no idea. i don't want to ask him but i want to make sure it doesn't hurt his abilities?

Rumors do not confirm or disconfirm privileged medical histories. However, chronic neurological conditions can progress causing physicians to become disabled. The best approach is to ask your doctor if he intends to practice full-time for several more years and express your appreciation to date. There is no reason to cite the rumor directly, but you can ask about his goals for the future.
