Resident physician should identify his position
The staff and drs. were very nice but I was a little disturbed that the initial Dr. who came in to see me was a Resident, which he did not disclose to me, as well as the fact he was the son of the said physician. The only way I knew was because the medical assistant mentioned it to me earlier. Being retired from the medical field, I am quite familiar with "residency". I had an appt. to see a physician who had completed his education...not a resident. The practicing physician did come in before the procedures were done and I WAS ASKED if I objected to Jr.,doc doing them. I said it was okay, but realistically I was not happy about it. I felt that if I said no, there would be bad feelings created, and that would not have been pleasant for anyone. Things turned out fine, but I felt that I was put in an awkward position and should have been told by the jr. Doc when he came in and introduced himself, that he was a resident.
