To point out that the "title" Doctor is valid for more than 'just' MD`S
is fine.......BUT that doesn`t work the "other" way around!...A "D.O.",
is NOT an "MD.",.....they are "MD.wannabees", i.e., more schooling is
necessary for the "MD" classification,....and that holds true for most
if not all of the other 'Doctors' listed!
 
I made sure that a "Board certified" MD., Cardiologist, & Surgeon(s),
were the attending 'Doctors' for my open heart surgery,...and NOT a
"D.O.", which I feel was partly responsible for my older Brother`s
death, during the same procedure I had.  My Sister is a certified RN,
with Oncology MD`S, for over 30 years,...so I didn`t just dream that up.
 
Just to clear things a bit,...I`m sure I`m in trouble now!(lol).
