Um, yes it is. She put in an application for attending. She was following up on the status of the it because she was nearing the end of her ortho residency. She was basically done, because the end of Good Mourning and the beginning of Goodbye, July 1st had already passed, hence why Bailey is an attending, and they were both fifth year residents together. So yes, it is right. Please don't tell me I'm wrong because I'm not.

I'm showing you the inconsistencies in your use of "attending" in infoboxes because Callie is a good example of that. She finished her residency at SGH, but she had no job as an attending when Bailey became one, however, she would have still had "attending" status because she finished her ortho residency. So had this been season 6, how would her infobox look? "Attending" Orthopedic Surgeon, but not an attending at a hospital? She simply would've been "orthopedic surgeon".

You're still NOT addressing the inconsistency between why is it okay for Addison to show "attending" status because she has completed an OBGYN residency, and yet it's not appropriate for Alex, Cristina, and Jackson to show their general surgery "attending" status on the infoboxes, regardless whether or not their practicing.

You are saying that the "attending status" in the the infobox is to show readers that they've completed their residencies. It is inconsistent to show it for Addison and yet not show it for them, regardless of what those characters are doing.

I'm all for NOT having attending on Addison or the fellows, because A, Addison is not an attending surgeon at a hospital. She has privileges at a hospital. Her working at a private practice already shows she's completed her necessary residencies.

In regards to the show, especially private practice, not ONCE, has any of those characters been mentioned as "attendings" at St. Ambrose. So it is INCONSISTENT to have Addison, a Private Practice character, to have "attending" on her infobox, and yet all the other Private Practice doctors not. Yes this is a TV Show, hence why I'm pulling out points that's CONSISTENT with the show.

And FYI, I know the divergences of the medical show vs real-world. In the pages I've edited, I've clearly indicated what's real-world and what reconciles with the show (i.e. neurosurgery residency).
