    my son was diagnosed with hydrocephalus in 2006,he had his vp shunt and so far we didn't have any problems.he is healthy and lives like any normal kid.his studies was never affected , he loves to eat just about anything and does household chores,enjoys the computer.as i have said,a normal person,you will never even know that he has a vp shunt unless if he goes to the barber.
    he is turning 17 and will be in college next year,i was wondering if he can take a medical course.is it advisable to let him take a course that will make him an employee.he is actually interested in taking up culinary arts,but in our country,a medical check is required prior to employment,and usually hydro is associated with tuberculosis.can someone enlighten me. my son deserves a good future,i believe he can do it.

    If your concern is that your son might have TB, (1) why not have him tested and treated now? and (2) why would it be appropriate to expose people in a medical setting to it, but not diners?

    Whatever you might wish for your son, the choice of a career is not one in which you should meddle, particularly if he has a passion for something specific like food. Let him follow his own course, and support him in navigating any hurdles.
