New York has thousands of police surgeons?

It seems even the PBA now has its own specialized team of surgeons. Although I saw over 50 cars with legit federal, state and city permits in this neighborhood, this one takes the cake. I admire how the permit number is 70958. Does this mean the State Trooper PBA has issued over 70000 permits statewide, or this is simply the 958th surgeon from the 70th precinct, or (more likely) just a random number that makes this great color laser printer job look super-duper. Fact is, this town has gorged itself like a Christmas turkey on quasi-official medical permits, and the car hasn't even got MD plates. Where's the hospital in the tony Meatpacking District anyhow?

I do know a Police Surgeon and he doesn't have MD plates and he does travel all over the city performing his duties. There are only about 35 surgeons in the Police force. They do have the rank of inspector and they are on call 24 hrs a day

I would ask however, what is a PBA Surgeon?

I've seen NYPD surgeon permits, and they are 100% legit. But as with #3, I wonder what is a PBA Surgeon?

The picture or placard is legit. This person belongs to the New York State Trooper Police Surgeon. This placard is issued by the NYS Troopers PBA. The question is whether he is on medical business where he was parked.

A PBA surgeon is a physician is has pledge to offer his/her services to the organization in this case the New York State Trroper PBA. They support the members of the PBA in whatever capacity.
