Is a "Resident" the same as a doctor?!


Question: Is a "Resident" the same as a doctor?
My friend went to the ER and was treated by a resident apparently. Is this normal? Was he a real doctor?

Answers:

well a resident is a doctor. so yes. a resident is a doctor thats training to be in a certain field probably in surgery. also they have only been a doctor for a couple years most likely once they study longer they will be an attending which is a doctor specialized in certain area.

but anyways they are a doctor and perfectly capable. they are not interns or uneducated.



is your friend a dumbass? does "resident" resemble "doctor"? **** no, its not even the same first letter.
