Have you read Oliver Sacks' story in An Anthropologist on Mars about a rural surgeon with Tourette's? His symptoms were severe, but he just kept plugging away at his career and quickly everyone around him became accustomed to it and gave him whatever time and space he needed to perform his tics, which were quite elaborate.

No, just the book. The doctor's name in the story is a pseudonym, as is the name of the town, but with some digging I found out who he was. Try googling "Cranbrook doctor tourette".
