[quote=AN][quote=flu]I wouldn’t go see a “pain specialist” unless that specialist was top of his field. And that usually doesn’t happen when the doctor has sheety credentials.

In as much as I needed serious legal help, I wouldn’t go to someone with a JD from University of Phoenix.[/quote]Specialist at the top of his field is not the same as going to Elite U? Do you care that your specialist went to Harvard for had 100% success rate in their operations and have great bed side manner? I don’t even know where my general practice doctor went to school but I do know when I don’t get treated well and would change doctor to one where he/she would spend proper amount of time with me. I also would ask for personal recommendation from other people. I’ve never gotten recommendation that start with, Dr. so and so went to Harvard. It’s more of, Dr. so and so doesn’t rush to get you out of the office, talk to you about a more holistic approach and truly care about your well being. As for specialist, I would care more about Dr. so and so have done 100s of so and so procedure with great success rate more than where he went to school.[/quote]

I care enough that they didn’t go to university of phoenix. Whether it’s a Harvard or Stanford or UCLA or some other reputable med school, not so much,
