Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns.

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Doctor is also human being. You are not god and therefre you also should face problems. Part of life. But diagnosing self, even if you are a doctor, is not right. Here you have obsessive thoughts. Not only about your long fingers but about your stature and posture and abilities. You are worried because you do not believe in yourself. Low self confidence and low self esteem comes later.

"Wise men say" compare yourself with lesser achieved souls". Forget incapabilities and focus on capabilities. If you have only one show, think about people who do not even have legs. You know all these and refuse to understand. Doctors come across patients from every walk of life and I am sure you also do. Watch them, observe them, their fate, posture, problems, mannerism etc. You will learn how they are troubled. Not only you, everyone across the world, are troubled with negative thoughts. Experience should save you. Do not worry. Pledge you shall concentrate on your career and life, not on problems.

You can post a direct query to me in case you further need my services in this case.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
