Right now I'm tackling a similar problem when updating author notes via Goodreads (GR notes plugin). I can't get the Bio if author is suffixed by MD, Phd etc.
So, for instance, I had 'Vivek H Murthy, MD'. Bio wouldn't get fetched. Then I removed the MD bit and it did download the author Bio.
I thought of creating a column just for the academic degrees by doing a search and replace targeting a #degree column for any MD, PhD preceded by a comma, but now I see that some authors don't have the separating comma...sigh. So I'm still thinking what approach I'm going to take, maybe use regex to match whole words such as MD, Phd, MPH regardless of being preceded by commas.
