Hello,
Over the years, I flip though various Yellow pages and noted that the term "physicians" are being used more and more in different allied health disciplines. Rather seeing "psychiatry, dermatology, hematology and so forth..." under different physicians listings, I started to see "Chiropractic Physicians, Podiatry Physicians and Optometry Physicians" all over the place. About a year ago, someone wrote in the ADA about how dentists should be listed or considered as "Oral Physicians" too!!! I thought it was the most ridiculous recommendation ever to appear in a major journal. Now, any of you know why the three disciplines I mentioned are now a type of "physicians" legal to be adverised as such? DP
