An article in the WSJ op ed page supposedly shreds Jill Biden as a Doctor. She is not. A person who works there Melissa Korn ripped the article. Anyway, Jill Biden is much less then advertised according to the article. Vetting is so much fun when it is not against you as Joe and Jill were so fortunate to receive from the biased media.
I go by Doctor. I worked extremely hard to earn my Sc.D. and legitimately hold the title of "Doctor of Science." That I am not a medical doctor doesn't mean I don't have the right, the authority to use the title.
Obviously I don't agree with the WSJ on this and find the position petty.
This idea that only MDs can use the title "Dr" is ridiculous. And the tired old line "no one should be called 'doctor' unless they have delivered a baby" is simply nonsense. I personally know 2 people who have delivered a baby. Neither is in the medical profession. They were just in the right place and helped a distressed woman.
How about dentists? Are they doctors?
What about veterinarians? Are they doctors?
The prefix of someone's name is not determined by the lowest common denominator of the ignorant (willful or otherwise) public.
Dentists and vets are medical doctors, sort of a different situation.
But they defy the idea that only people who have delivered babies should be called 'doctor'.
I suppose.
Personally, I've not encountered anyone with an issue over my title. My employer uses it to lend credibility to our organization.
I have not encountered anyone who had an issue with a Ph.D or Ed.D being called "doctor" either. At least not until the rabid Trumpers started attacking Jill Biden.
A few years ago, the libs had a conniption about Dr. Glenn Beck, who received his doctorate in humanities from Liberty. What goes around comes around. If the libs are going to insist on calling Biden's old lady "Doctor", they should do the same with conservative holders of doctorate degrees.
Dr. Michael Savage!
Swallow this Biden boot lickers!!!
Dr. Michael Savage has an actual Ph.D.
