and he is full of shit, because I worked for years at Texas Children's Hospital as a nurse. The term he is using is from Latin...a language not used in every day language.
I mean... No MD I have ever interacted with has ever referred to their degree or certification as "medical doctor".... "Hi, I'm Alice Jones, Medical Doctor." lol.
Of course. I posted it previously.
I left pediatric nursing October of 2014, after the murder of my brother in law. No one in the hospital runs around referring to MD as anything but Medical Doctor.
No, they say I am Dr Alice Jones...but if they hand you a card it says Alice Jones, M.D. It is a doctorate of medicine....just like you can have a doctorate of science or biology or whatever.
Yep, posted that already. But nobody in healthcare say "She just graduated with her MD, you know, Medical Doctor.... graduate thing..."
Yes.. doctor of medicine.... now you're getting it... lol "medical doctor".
everyone in the hospital refers to the person or persons that are doctors with a doctorate of Medicine as an MD, doctor or medical doctor...none of us run around using the flipping latin terms.....its stupid really and shows how little you know about the field of medicine. D.O. also is a doctor...but it is a doctor of Osteopathy. You have a GP(general prac doctor) Pediatricians, Gastroenterologists, etc... most doctors aren't just an M.D. or a D.O. they have a specialty added to their profession.
yes, Medical Doctor....good lord....now you are trolling and making yourself look foolish.
By the same token I've never heard, "Hi, I'm Alice Jones, Medicinae Doctor."
Of course not, they shorten it to MD... duh.
yes, usually they would say, Hi, I am Dr Jones.
No, only on business cards or their signatures....they don't say Hi, I am Alice Jones, M.D. They say, Hi, I am Dr. Jones, Smith, etc.
Lol, medical doctor. "Alice Jones medical doctorate from University of California. "
Nope, they say, Hi, I am Dr Jones....that said...it isn't incorrect for another person who has a DOCTORATE to call themselves doctor...after all, that is where the term Dr comes from....it means the person has a doctorate.
So... do they ever introduce themselves as Medical Dr. Jones? In any written or spoken communication?
How does "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" fit into all this?
It does! And people who have earned doctorate degrees do refer to themselves that way.
She doesn't, unless one is of a certain age...
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Sorry, the answer must be in the Latin format to reflect the proper medical knowledge.
Bu...bu..but I worked in frontier hospitals for YEARS and we always called them "Medical Women"! All the time. They had it on their identification parchment.
Of course the parchment would use the formal "Medicinae Femina" to justify the high tuition.

Actually sounds like he has a plausible excessive force claim.
