MD license plates

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Well they don't all have it made. The ones that will intentionally play that card do, but they don't have any respect from their female co workers if they do that.

This girl I was talking about did absolutely nothing wrong and she would never intentionally exploit her figure/looks. She's a very good person that got everything by earning it fair and square. She caught a break but I am sure sometime in her life she had a harder time of something because somebody thought "a girl can't do that."

One of my good friends however had a very good looking wife who used to brag to him how she had gotten out of so many tickets by showing cleavage and being flirty with the cops. He had never gotten out of a ticket.

One day they were together and she was speeding. He kept warning her that she was going to get pulled over. She did and she said "honey watch this". She unbuttoned her blouse, fixed her make up and hair etc. The cop came up beside the car and it was a woman. He said you could physically see his wife shrink and deflate. 😱 😱 😱

Needless to say she got the ticket, her first one ever. It was SWEET JUSTICE for him and he never let her forget it LOL.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.... 🙄
 
The gf is well above avg looking and doesn't use it at every turn. However there are times when she gets hookups due to the looks. It is a definite advantage except when other females come into the equation. There is nothing (most) professional women (she has her MBA) hate more than a skinny blonde - unless they are sportin the same look. 😎

one's I've seen

INTUB8
PAINMD
L45HNP

The first one reminds me of my father's license plate: LITIG8
 
I've seen:
CATG
the best though is WHOOPS for a license plate for a disabled driver. That driver has a sense of humor!

In NYC, having an MD plate has some advantages on the upper east side...PARKING! But I still won't do it!

Every village seems to have that one. Last time I saw it on a black 911.

Do these people actually have a greater chance of being the target of maliciousness or fraud, or are you just saying that? It seems logical that they would, but do they really?

I knew a guy who stole the front plate off of a undergrad student who had MD2B on his truck. So, yes, MD plates invite malicious behavior.

agreed.

MD plates fall into the same category as graduation tassles hanging on the rearview mirror . . . classy.
Or even worse -- the hanging stethoscope trick. Get over it.

There was a thread about personalized plates that I saw awhile back. Those are pretty horrible overall. It's one thing when a practicing physician has one that he/she thinks is cool and witty, but it's even worse when it's someone who's not even a doctor yet.

Two from my school parking lot:
MD 2 BE
FUTR MD
:barf:

DW,
We must go to the same school--or maybe people are equally ******ed around the US--
Best plate I've see that is not stupid (in my opinion)-
emergency physician's BMW motorcycle had: DNR ME
probably wouldn't stand up in court, but funny none the less

I work with D.O who drives SUV with MD plates. He just got a speeding ticket right on the Belt Pkwy. The cop could not have been more mean to him even if he tried. He already had several brake ins by the dopeheads looking for a "good" stuff in the doctor's car. If you need a parking privelledge your hospital will give you some pass or whatevere to place on your dash board. The trouble of "MD" plates is just not worth it. And if you are some cowboy medical examiner, or do forensic work, they'll hook you up with the special car and a "X-Mas tree" lights on top to make you look important. What's even more funny to see how my comrads from allied health personalize their plates
(PT,RN,NP, PA-C,DC etc). It won't get you anywhere faster, and you'll just make a fool and a target out of yourself.

So in NY state DO's can get MD Plates not DO plates, if this is true why cant they advertise or sign their name MD then
I only ask this because i read a while back a bunch of people fighting over the legality od signing MD or DO, i think its stupid but it just popped in my hean
 
By MD plates, we just mean physician plates. MD plates is just easier to write. In NJ, the plates just say physician on them, and you either get MD1234 or DO1234, or whatever the hell you want. The other thing is just getting a vanity plate with something medical on it like MD2B.

I went to the NYS DMV page to check this out. NYS does not have DO plates, only MD plates. However, they are known as "physician" plates, so they also give them to DOs. You have to provide a copy of your NYS medical license (MD or DO)to get one, and pay $43. I find it interesting that although they do not have a DO plate, DMDs get their own plate and do not have to get a "DDS" plate.

They have lots of other professional license plates as well.

NYS has tons of professional license plates for differen professions. Check out the website:

argh. I am such a HATER when it comes to 'MD' license plates. Here are some particularly annoying ones I see all the time at my hospital...

um, unless you want people to key your car, beat you sensely, stage an accident involvng your car, or just plain send hater vibes your way, probably not a good idea to personalize your plate. You could just wear something extra special on your white coat....like....I drive a mean fast ferrari!
I agree, with "ASSMAN" as the exception for your friendly local proctologist.

oops, looks like someone already beat me to it :laugh:

Well, Here in NYC it's not uncommon to see something like Joe Blow M.D, D.O or D.O,M.D. That's how it's advertised, and what's on their business cards and outside office shingles. The reason is NYCOM has emigre physician program where they retrain true FMGs (domicile foreign programs i.e India, Russia, Ghina etc) These ppl graduate and practice as D.Os, but since they've graduated from W.H.O recognized schools in their respective countries they still use their M.D with D.O. I know also a couple of D.Os in Chicago area who baught their M.D from some Banana Republic,but still write M.D,D.O after their names.

Yes, NYCOM does have that pretty popular program. However, if a physician was initially educated as a DO and "buys" an MD for "insecurity" purposes, I would strongly question his/her motivation and comitment to medical.
 
I guess there are infinite ways to bend any thread onto a MD/DO theme. It is funny how this is such a big issue on SDN and a non-issue in the real world.

However, i myself have seen DO's advertise MD after their name, on the flip side i have also seen people leave MBBS. I have also seen hospitals list DO's as MD's..........asstde from the insecurity thing, i dont see it as a big deal, like stated b4 as long as you are in medicine for the right reasons. I would gladly advertise as a DO if i was one
