one question guys:
in my PS i would like to mention one physician i have worked with.
should i name him or just write Dr. F. ??????


  #2

IF THE PHYSICIANS NAME IS "JACK THE RIPPER" OR "FRANK ABAGNALE " ,I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST NAMING ..IF NOT ,THEN NO HARM IS LIKELY TO BE HARMFUL ENOUGH TO HARM YOU .

DONT YOU THINK DR A ,DR B ,DR C ,D AND E ARE BETTER NAMES THAN DR F

USE YOUR DISCRETION

i said Dr F because his name starts with an F.
i dont understand your answer, say e.g.
Dr F ? or Dr Florch ?

Falcon,

You are not writing a case report... It is your PS!!! If you worked with a US phisician it is a minimum that you write their names as it is. Not just an abbreviation. I think it is not just politeness... ...also would you be liked to call by your initials?!shaking head

This is my take on the story and it's your call at the end.

P.S.: Don't worry about laptop's answer, this is what he meant, too.
Sometimes it is difficult to decipher his gentle sense of humor...grin

Good Luck!
