meanwhile, all the other Congresspeople only have their congress career as their only legit source of income. They've forgotten that elected office is not supposed to be a career job.

I think an eye doctor specialist, but can obviously translate into other medical issues too. He did a lot of free charitable work in some African countries too back in the day. I don't remember the specifics, but he seems like a legit good and honorable guy.

Dr. Paul is an ophthalmologist.

But, every ophthalmologist is an MD, as they have to get through medical school.

I don't know what recurring training he may have to do to retain their board certification.

NP, I wasn't trying to correct anything... just clarify. You were right.

But, I'm not sure all people know an ophthalmologist is an MD.

I posted a link: there are quite a few MD's in Congress:

Fortunately, Jim McDermott (D-asshole) retired at the end of last term, after facing a primary challenge. He was a psychiatrist, which made him qualified to self-diagnose his affliction.
