The article certainly supports what Miguel said; however, I, and
the faculty who were responsible for my education at the graduate
level believe that the PhD is the degree that is most eligible to
be called Dr. since it predates the MD by a long time. The
original PhD's were recognized for being scholars. The original
"medical doctors" were recognized for being barbers. Who deserves
the title of Doctor more?
