There was a thread that whirlpooled around the question if the good doctor is a M.D. or an O.D. IIRC, Jag, near the end of the thread, admitted that his degree is O.D. So, FYI, none of his brain cells got him through medical school.




I never denied being an OD. I was an Optometric Physician who passed international board exams to medically treat eye disease and injuries with antibiotics, anti inflammatories, steroids, antifungals, antivirals and other meds relating to internal and external diseases of cornea, sclera, iris, retina, optic nerve, etc.

I practiced at one of the largest privately owned medical centers in the country and was charged with detecting and treating eye disease or referring surgical cases to the appropriate surgeon wheather pediatric, corneal, cataract or retinal and with treating and caring for the patients post op.

Also passed international requirements to specialize in and treat the various types of Glaucoma.


IIRC, an emergency room doc that is a 24hrCF member credits you for saving his vision through an astute diagnosis. Kudos.
