The BRILLIANCE of the Progressive! Not Sure' When He Became a Doctor: Young CBS Producer Deletes Tweet Mocking Rand Paul's Medical Opinion By NB Staff

Never surprising with far left Progressives.  Not only is Rand Paul a doctor but his father was a flight surgeon and practiced for over 20 years.

Not Sure' When He Became a Doctor : Young CBS Producer Deletes Tweet Mocking Rand Paul's Medical Opinion

By NB Staff | October 17, 2014 | 1:52 PM EDT -

Katy Conrad is a booker and producer with CBS This Morning, but conservatives quickly made fun of her on Twitter when she mocked Rand Paul's medical opinion, as if he was a doctor. (Oops, he is -- an ophthalmologist, to be precise.)

Believe it or not.......an eye doctor discovered my daughter's Lupus, and referred her to a specialist. A small town eye doctor knew a great deal more than they are given credit.

Rand Paul represents himself as a board certified Doctor of Opthalmology, when in fact, his only certification came from a board he founded himself, and which has been in and out of existence over the past decade.

"In the spring of 2010 stories first swirled around Sen. Rand Paul’s certification as an ophthalmologist by an outfit called the “National Ophthalmology Board,” an entity he founded. This week I discovered that while he continues to present himself as “board certified” the NOB has been out of business since 2011, and in any event, does not under Kentucky law permit him to advertise as “board certified.”

In 2010 Rand Paul explained that he formed the board in 1997 along with 200 young ophthalmologists to protest a decision by the American Board of Ophthalmologists to grandfather those who were certified by 1992, but to limit certification for a ten year period for those first certified after that date. Rand Paul fell within the latter group. He found that decision “discriminatory” and unfair so he set up the NOB along with his wife and father-in-law to certify himself. Despite calling itself “national,” it appears to have operated purely in Kentucky. The board remained in operation until 2000, when it was dissolved. It was reinstated in 2005. Since the certification story broke, the NOB again dissolved in 2011..."

The profession of Rand Paul's father is irrelevant. At any rate, Rand Paul is fear mongering over ebola for political purposes, and he needs to STFU.

I'm not surprised by that...one way Lupus manifests is extreme light sensitivity. And I'm not knocking opthalmologists in general.
