futuredoctorOD said:I believe you are in error sir. I have a friend who has his DDS and is attending Ohio State for his OMFS residency--4 to 6 years. He deals with facial trauma and as a matter of fact when he is finished he will be Dr. so and so DDS OMFS (Oral Maxillo Facial Surgeon) or for short Oral Surgeon..He is on call for facial trauma. The OMFS's I know do oral surgery so I don't know where you are getting your information from. They are listed as "Oral Surgeons" lol...... As a matter of fact another friend of mine who did his residency at Cook County hospital is on call for facial trauma every week----car accidents, gun shot wounds, crushing injuries, etc....they call him at 2:00 in the morning to fix the problem.....Where are you getting your info from?
I don't post much on here, but I believe that labeling yourself as a "future doctor" is misleading. Unfortunately, i think you know that it is misleading to most patients and you still do it. You know that when patients say they want an eye doctor they are actually referring to a medical eye doctor. When you stop misleading patients then I believe you have the right to "talk objectivley." Very unfortunate to see people like that.
