I heard from my friend who is a talent manager that they're discontinuing Dr. 90210 after next season. Apparently the producers want to exit while the iron is still hot, so it goes down in the books of being a great show like The Osbournes. Can anyone confirm this? This manager is pretty high up in tinseltown and in the past he's always been on the money.

Oh I'll believe it when I see it. Why would the axe such a hot money maker like that?

dr rey on that show is purportedly not even board certified in plastic surgery did you know that?

Is he board certified for ANYTHING?!

I hate how he always wears his Harvard Medical School shirts as if he actually graduated from there (all he did was a one year fellowship there). It is a cool show, ooooh yeaah I'm going to miss it if they end it. The other thing annoying about him is how he thinks he's Mr. Karate Kid all the time... so laaaame!

Amen to that!

If I finished medical school/residency (no matter what residency), I could operate on your spine if I wanted to. I have the legal right to do that as an MD. I could operate on your eyeball... I could put you to sleep with anesthesia, I could read your CT scans, I could give you chemotherapy. I could do pretty much whatever the heck I wanted to. I don't have to be board certified in anything. As long as I have a full license to practice medicine, I don't need to be board certified.

That said, I would get sued for doing things over my head, no hospital would let me do those type of things (i would need to fund my own private facility, and have a private practice), patients would have to be dumb enough to let, for example, a generalist do breast augmentation or labiaplasty on them, and after enough malpractice problems I would be banned from practicing medicine. Unfortunately a lot of doctors do get away with practicing in areas they're not qualified for a long time before that happens.

Eric - so you're saying a general practice doctor would legally be allowed to do neurosurgery on me?!
