I put that kind of mindset in the same boat as those who insist their doctor must be board certified.
I insist my doctor is board certified. I think Dr. Eagles explained that part very well a while back. If you need expert care instead of just aches and pains and colds, you stake your life on their accreditation and educational background. Financial instability would also be something to make me veer away from an M.D.

There was a neurologist here in TV arrested for driving erratically and having drugs in her car. I don't want to worry about whether my doctor is the best. I want the best. For not just me, but for my family. Not all that much time left in our lives, I want us to be as healthy as we can as long as we can and I want that for everyone I know.

Does it matter if your doctor is board certified or board eligible?
