med docs

[sarah43]

just curious what do the 3 i's or lll stand for after your MD names???

[John C Hagan III, MD, FACS, FAAO]

1. I am the third John Hagan in my family (father was II, GR was I)
2. The time demand which is considerable  has necessitated the Pernouds withdrawing from answering questions starting 1/1/09.  Dr. Okayawa is suppose to phase in immediately by answering questions on ODD days. After 1/1/09 he is to answer even days.

Did Drs. Pernoud & Pernoud leave? They are no longer listed as forum doctors. However, Dr. Okayawa has joined the forum and he has quite a pedigree, welcome.

None of the med docs here except Dr. Hagan has the III as it is part of his name. He is, I am assuming, the third John C. Hagan in his family. So, the III has nothing to do w/ any medical degree/certification or organizational affiliation.
