I would like to know what does PC mean in a doctor's degree. Some doctor's have a PC added at the end of their degree like MD PC. I know MD means doctor of medicine but what does PC mean?

In Phoenix in about 1990, my mother-in-law had a stroke and was admitted to a long term care facility. We went to see her, and she was very ill. (None of her family lived close by. We were taking turns visiting her a few days at a time, as continuously as we could.) When I arrived, she had a terrible back ache, a fever, cloudy urine (she was catheterized, so it was easy to see) and there was an odor of very strong ammonia in the room. She obviously had a urinary tract infection. I asked that the doctor check on her, and was told the doctor was only required to see her once a month, and she had already had her check for that month. I said, "But she's ILL! Can't the nurse call and make a request?" I was told no repeatedly, and I was referred up the chain of command while I pursued simple treatment for this fairly predictable infection, given her situation. I finally got to the lawyer who was supposed to be acting as the interface between the public and the medical staff, who basically didn't want to admit that she had an infection, because the implication was that the catheterization was not done properly or that her care had been substandard, a claim I was NOT making...I only wanted her to see a doctor and get treatment. The lawyer said something along the lines of "Look, lady. We see all kinds here who are just trying to get their hands on their elderly parent's money, and we are not having it. She's seen the doctor. She doesn't need to see the doctor again, and we are not requesting that we call one in. If all her funds are spent on medical visits, she'll run out and not be able to stay here." In other words, he wanted to protect her MONEY, and her ability to remain at that institution, rather than PROTECT HER. They didn't want her euthanized. They wanted to milk her dry. In any case, I'm sorry that you had to go through such a trauma. There are blood suckers on every side of the patient's bed, I'm afraid. No amount of regulation replaces morals. We either have 'em, or we don't. When I reported all this to the brothers, they talked it over and within a week made arrangements to have her moved to a facility closer to one of the boys' homes. She was treated for the infection as soon as she was in the ambulance for the transfer. She died soon after that, of a second stroke.

Actually, it's a legal term meaning Professional Corporation. You might notice the letters LLC (limited liability corporation) after other professional offices.
An attorney draws up the articles of the Professional Corporation and usually registers them with the appropriate state authority.
