Does she actually say she's a doctor? I was thinking massage therapist. It fits with the mobile business she had before.
I'm thinking not an actual doctor - she said in that thread that she has 9 years of experience, but she's in her early 30s. That doesn't leave much room to have gone to med school. Although, if it's massage therapy, I find it really pretentious to use the word "patients" rather than "clients."
Physical therapist, maybe?
ETA: I've definitely met some massage therapists who believe they're performing a critical medical function on their "patients," so I won't rule that out, either.
she also gets really bent out of shape about her husband touching her stuff and wants her own bedroom so she can put her stuff in there. Whatever she does, I hope it's not marriage and family therapy....Physician, heal thyself.

But I dont get it. Why would you pay someone MORE just because they are more experienced if it's the same job? Thats why recent college grads and someone with 20 years experience get paid the same. Oh, wait...
This is the same person who had put on her resume that she had an "interest" in foreign languages and couldn't understand why that wasn't acceptable. You should look back through her posts - she also gets really bent out of shape about her husband touching her stuff and wants her own bedroom so she can put her stuff in there. Whatever she does, I hope it's not marriage and family therapy....Physician, heal thyself.
OH! If my memory is correct that happened in connection with grad school. Not medical. So the theory stands. She's a chiro* until proven otherwise.
*I apologize to any chiropractors this may offend. That was not my intent.

When she said she spent 4 years in residency, my jaw about dropped. Do chiropractors do residencies? I'm hoping yes, because I refuse to believe that this woman is an MD.

My chiro office had an intern. It was basically a semester long and then he took his certification test and then became a chiro. He definitely said "internship" not "residency".
Also, it is killing me that she is ignoring people who said that stylists continually take classes to keep themselves up to date on new techniques with color application, cutting, etc. So, if you are paying money to take further classes, you should see that reflected in your price point for services.
Also, PTs have patients and are board certified. They have to maintain their license w/CE credits every year, and you earn more as you gain more experience.
Maybe she does acupuncture. They have residencies, "patients", work with insurance, but frequently work out of their own businesses.
This was my thought as well. She mentioned her "patients" being surprised at how much education/training she had. I can't imagine someone saying that about a doctor or even a chiropractor.
I'm willing to admit my chiro speculation is wrong and she is an acupuncturist. What I cannot accept is a world in which she made it into med school. Even Mexican med school.

I think that thread has grown quite a bit since my last read.
I was scratching my head the whole time. This is SO common, how did she never run into it before? Was she only getting cuts at the flat-rate joints like Fantastic Sams or Supercuts? (And hey, I did for years, when my hair was long and one-length, because it seemed ridiculous to pay $50 for a simple trim.) Every other salon I've been to has stylists at different levels who charge different prices, and they move up over time. I go to an Aveda salon right now and they do a ton of training, so the stylists move up pretty quickly. I tend to ask for a level one or two stylist because I want to be conscious about spending, rather than stick with one particular person.
My cousin and his wife are chiropractors and they opened their own office right out of school. Pharmacists aren't required to do any residency unless they plan to specialize.
