I know it doesn't really matter, but I have to clarify something that a lot of people are doing.
That is, when refering to the plural of MD or DO, it is not correct to write MD's or DO's because that is insinuating possession such as the MD's schedule. The correct way to type it would just be MDs or DOs without the apostrophe if the intention is to make it plural. The same goes for PhDs, DCs, and the like.
I know it's not a big issue, but I see it rampant throughout all forums on SDN. I'm sure people already know this, and I just wanted to throw it out there. So much for my R in the MCAT writing portion.
