Having an MD levels the playing field.
But in either case, as an OMS trying to do extended scope you are usually going to feel like you have a ****ing fetus on the side of your head when you do those first cases. But when you stick to what you have done, and know (based on residency/fellowship training) you will be fine.
I think its easier to do expanded scope with an MD because there are many retards out there, who have no clue of what we do. Administrators, old school MDs, RNs who don't know, are definitely more likely to assume that a "medical doctor" is more competent to do a trach , flap , etc. ie. a general surgeon who wants to cut out a jaw.. most ppl would say... " is he really going that? meh..oh well " versus an oral surgeon dds who wants to raise a flap most ppl would say " IS HE REALLY GOING TO DO THAT??? oh **** thats ****t up! stop him he's going to kill everyone". These assumptions are ingrained in us because most people like to keep it simple in their minds of who can do what.
It's like how some people think podiatrist only clean feet, some of them can do alot more, etc.
We are in that same boat at times, we are the ****ing foot doctor of the head and neck. You throw on an MD, and then you have less people to impress or who are quick to judge.
There will always be people who recognize skill and talent irregardless of the degree you have. HOWEVER, for the haters, and uninitiated , these are the people who will screen for competence/legitimacy by just checking if someone has an MD.
ANother good example... going to a restaurant that requires a dress code: you wear the jacket, and regardless of what you are wearing underneath you get in, and do your thing.. If you want to wear a wife beater with a big tooth on it, then you will surely get stopped, and then you have to go through so many more dumbass hoops to prove yourself.. If you're down to prove that 900 times a day, then be my guest.
anyway.. just wanted to say my piece.
