"Well mate I only did a bachelors deg but I have family members who hold Phd in mathematics and engineering and they don't go around sporting the title of 'Dr' despite your whine about the literal interpretation."


well, perhaps you need to examine what you just said - because it tells you a hell of a lot probably about people who do real Phd's -- the ones you just described and medical doctors in general

your family and friends are fully entitled (no pun) to use their title


one might want to look at the mistake rates, death, injuries and mis diagnoses rates of what we call 'doctors' today to see where the real expertise lies --- have a go at this lot for a start

thank you very much - give me someone with a real doctorate in maths or engineering, sociology, philosophy any day compared to a chop shop supposed professional who doesn't know their bum from their foot

the sooner we get AI diagnosis the better and get rid of the idiots
