Kevin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Ah , but yes - are the thoughts off Descartes , Kant or Socrates on their minds ? Not often -if ever . Edited March 26, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 no you are right, if you are a medical doctor you are an MD, if you have a PhD (also known as Dphil) you are a doctor of philosophy regardless of the subject. There might be a couple more abbreviations. Strangest thing is that if you are surgeon, you are no longer Dr. whatever, you are Mr . whatever!

The Seeker Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Really? I'd be rather worried then, I think... "This is Dr Jones, who'll look after you when you wake up, and this is Mr Smith, who will perform brain surgery on you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 There are also doctors of pharmacy who aren't real doctors (MD) or doctors of philosophy (PhD). I think dentists are also referred to as doctors (but they're not MDs either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 It'd be oh sooo nice if everything was what those that thought it. Sorry, it just isn't that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Well , if you were having a heart attack , the doctor of philosophy could , at least , divert your attention with a diatribe on the nature of reality while the dentist could perhaps shock you back to normal by doing a spot on imitation of the sound of his drill .

blind-fitter Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Guess what? I'm a Candidate of Philosophy! That's what they call anyone (well, almost) who finishes university studies here in Sweden I had no idea you were even in Sweden. We took our holidays in Sweden last year. Well: one week on the mainland, one week on Gotland. I really enjoyed Sweden apart from driving in and around Stockholm- a nightmare I wish never to repeat. Congratuations on the qualification, by the way; however meaningless it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
