Checked the Blue Book of Grammar and - Old Anon. SM Posted: Jan 24th, 2020 - 2:47 pm In Reply to: There would be no comma after the name - Old Anon. SM
yes, indeed, there is a comma after MD.
This is what they said: Rule – Use commas to surround degrees or titles used with names. Commas are no longer required around Jr. and Sr. Commas never set off II, III, and so forth.
Example:
Al Mooney, MD, knew Sam Sunny Jr. and Charles Starr III.
I couldn't find anything to document this in BOS 3rd Edition, but the Blue Book came through with the answer.
