as I tell my patients, my job is to provide you INFORMATION so you can make an informed choice
My group covers 3 hospitals ( and I work at an additional 2 hospitals as moonlighting coverage )....for a total of 5 hospital badges.
4 of these hospitals are "allopathic" and one we cover is "osteopathic"
the badges from the 4 allopathic hospitals list me as "FLK"
MD--staff physician
the badge from the osteopathic hospital says " DR FLK"( no degree is ever shown )I find this very odd, like they are hiding their degree and just calling themselves doctors the way the spine poppers ( chiros ) do
So when I round there I don't show their badge, I wear the one with the largest MD on it.
Funny thing is that my own phycian is a DO. Good doctors are good despite caribbean or DO on their diploma. I have worked with more than a few total quack MD's from harvard. Best resident I ever had was from SUNY Buffalo
