0 I am now as curious as the guest questioner in 05000 about the meaning of the medical credentials 'PC'-- usually following 'MD' after a physician's name-- as in: 02br 02br 00Dr. Jane Doe, MD, PC 02br 02br 00Noone in 01i00EnglishForward02i00 has yet come up with a definitive answer.

0 Hi, 02br 00Why assume they are medical credentials? Some people have qualifications in different areas of life. 02br 02br 02br 00Incidentally, am I being too picky in suggesting that 'Dr. Jane Doe, MD' seems a little redundant? 02br 00Clive 0-
0 Hi Clive, 02br 02br 00I might be misunderstanding your comment on redundancy. My phrase was: 02br 02br 00 'as in Dr. Jane Doe, 01b00MD,PC02b00' 02br 02br 00which I offered to 01b00illustrate02b00 the MD,PC combination. 02br 02br 00And as I stated, PC appears to mean

0 Yes. If you look at the top of this thread, you'll see I referred to the other thread, which I thought was getting lost before an answer was found. I wanted to bring it back to the forum with a new subject heading, because the question by the original guest contributor became a real curiosity to me too. I'll have to learn about better, less confusing ways to do so. 0-
