        I appreciate the response back. I'd messed up and left the "I" off of it. When listed as "-iatr/o," it came up as "treatment; physician." Thanks again.

        pediatric, are working surgeons with sick children.


        psychiatristric, I think it is spelt wrong, therefore it is a person who helps, people with mental problems.
