You may want to take a look at Victor Roggli's story on this page: http://www.clubcysticfibrosis.com/index.php/site/category/fiftyplus
He is a lung pathologist and professor at Duke. I think he's still working and was born in 1951. He's written a book about his story (unpublished). There seem to be quite a few people who are doctors with CF. Recently a young man became a surgeon in Britain and the author of Notes on Performance (which included a chapter on CF) mentioned another doctor he worked with in the OR who had CF. In the East of Canada, there is a family physician with CF who had a transplant at 40 and is continuing with his family practice. (His patients fund-raised for him to pay costs that weren't covered, related to the transplant, so he could return home to his practice.)

Here's an article about Dr. Jack Jacoby - CF doctor with cf.
http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20118813,00.html
Jack has passed on.
He has a brother Jeff who was a cf floor nurse at some point. Not sure on his status now though.
The Jacoby's started a foundation and I'm sure they would be willing to speak to you about their thoughts on 2 of the their 3 children choosing medicine. By the way, their third child Jamie died from cf complications when she was 9.

I'm a dentist...and I've been in the dental field for 20 years. I was diagnosed 6 years ago...I love dentistry but if I knew I had cf before I would have chosen another career...and be in less contact with infections. good luck with your choice!
