‘’’Her license site says, physician, surgeon.’’’
It isn’t ‘her’ site. It is the state data base. Their hot sheets don’t differentiate between a MD or Surgeon either but I am sure without Certification she is not a surgeon. A peds allergist says the same thing.
Physicians & Surgeons .. is on all hotsheets too. The only way to tell the diff is to see they are Certified as a surgeon. “AND” is the key word for type of license categories.
Too bad she isn’t on the hotsheets!! What in the heck is wrong with CA?! FYI .. here are all the hotsheets since 2004

Taking a sliver out could be considered surgery. Any cutting into the body is formally a surgerical procedure in the sense of medical licensing but it does not mean they are board Certified surgeons if that makes sense.
Look at the fool that operated on West before she died! HE WAS A BIG SHOT ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL for crying out loud!
They didn’t even check his file??? Unbelievable.
And by all bets, he will probably keep his license. Sickening what self governing boards let kill and go on. :(
