Je pense que MD se traduit par Docteur en médecine par contre je ne vois pas à quoi correspond Attd

médécin traitant
If it is writtedn 'MD', then I'd agree it is likely to be 'Doctor'; my feeling (without anything like enough context to help us!) that this is probably short for 'attending physician'.

Oh dear, apologies for my slip, and thanks to F-X for (gently!) pointing it out.
Naturally, it ought to have been 'médecin'

Possible, but MD is such a universal EN abbreviation of 'Doctor of Medicine', I'd be surprised anyone would use it to mean something different, unless of course made clear by the surrounding context! Depends, too, if it's 'attending' or not ;-)

Reference:
attending medical doctor
Attending physician
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, an attending physician (also known as an attending, or staff physician) is a physician who has completed residency and practices medicine in a clinic or hospital, in the specialty learned during residency. An attending physician can supervise fellows, residents, and medical students. Attending physicians may also have an academic title at an affiliated university such as "professor". This is common if the supervision of trainees is a significant part of the physician's work. Attending physicians have final responsibility, legally and otherwise, for patient care, even when many of the minute-to-minute decisions are being made by subordinates (physician assistants, resident physicians, and medical students). Attending physicians are sometimes the 'rendering physician' listed on the patient's official medical record, but if they are overseeing a resident or another staff member, they are 'supervising.'
Attending doctors may also still be in training, such as a fellow in a subspecialty. For example, a cardiology fellow may function as an internal medicine attending, as he has already finished residency in internal medicine. The term is used more commonly in teaching hospitals. In non-teaching hospitals, essentially all doctors function as attendings in some respects after completing residency.
The term "attending physician" or "attending" also refers to the formal relationship of a hospitalized patient and their primary doctor during the hospitalization, as opposed to ancillary physicians assisting the primary doctor. However, even on a consultation service, at an academic center, the medical doctor who has finished his training is called the attending or consultant, as opposed to a resident physician.
