Kevin Posted March 26, 2008 Report 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
invisible_r Posted March 26, 2008 Report 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 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".
Kevin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Where do you think ' mad scientists' come from ?!
Lea Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Where's Ray??? I need him to vote on my AC/DC nomination
Ombre Vivante Posted March 27, 2008 Report 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).
MuzikTyme Posted April 1, 2008 Report 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.
Kevin Posted April 1, 2008 Report 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 .
MuzikTyme Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Wonderful; my gums feel oh so much better . . .
Dappled Posted April 23, 2008 Report 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
Farin Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Have you seen Tony Baloni? I chat with him from time to time, but he hasn't been here...
miamisammy29 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Have you seen Tony Baloni? He probably got banned again.
blind-fitter Posted April 23, 2008 Report 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.
skybluesky Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Does any one hear from Gisela? I hope SoulSis is OK.
MuzikTyme Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 Where is the lad from across the pond known as: DIGGS?
edna Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 I know Peachy isn´t here very often lately but I saw she posted something. Now, I wonder where´s Sweet jane...
