Only Solution for Degree Change

I go by my middle name, so when I type out my name it's S. J-Rad Wendelheimerschmidt, DO. I feel complelled to put the period there. But I don't like the periods in the DO. It's asthetically...unappealing. But this discongruity causes me to have a grammatical anxiety attack every time I see it in print. I actually have to ponder on this every time I write my name. 😉

One of the more established members here ... an ER resident if I remember correctly (I swear to god though I can't remember his username) said that he used to get mail for a 'Mr Do,' and he had no idea what the hell was up until he realized that the people thought his degree title 'DO' was his last name. I don't know if I really have strong feelings about the periods to be honest ...

Hey J-Rad,

According to your location, "with my children of the corn," I assume you graduated from DMU? What fellowship are you in? I'm just curious, is all.

Nah, med school was more Delores Claiborne than Malakai. As for my fellowhip, Danny Gokey's wife, Skeet Ulrich, and Ashton Kutcher's brother all saw one of my kind at some time...

Damn, I just answered an entire question with only pop-culture references. I'm...something.
