Dr. Dr. Bamboo MD, Ph.D vs. Mr. Gandoo, MBBS

This blog has extended from exposing fake doctors with phoney
PhDs from diploma mills, an ex-PhD student with ABD status
who did not complete his thesis to clarifying why we should not
call "Dr." to a drop-out from MBBS degree programme.

I also explained why should we deny that title, a courtesy prefix,
"Dr." to those who earned MBBS degrees but who do not hold
valid licenses to practise clinical medicine, who are not working
as physicians treating patients.

Because MBBS is MB plus BS, it is an integrated dual bachelor
degrees without any thesis component. So without the doctoral
thesis, how one can call himself as a doctor.

In Germany, to earn a MD (Dr. med), a medical student has to
write a doctoral thesis.

To earn a PhD equivalent MD degree in Germany, the medical doctor
has to write a thesis.

In US, even a chirotherapist can call himself a "Dr.", it is not the case in UK.
In United Kingdom, only Physicians are addressed as "Dr.", but not Surgeons
as the origin of Surgery is Butchery, that means early surgeons were butchers,
so no one called a butcher in the past as a Doctor, courtesy is not needed for
someone who will cut your limbs or balls. In continental Europe, both in Latin
(France, Italy, Spain, Greece) and Germanic (Germany, Netherlands, Austria,
and Scandinavia) nations, Dr. title is only for academic PhDs. So in Germany,
where someone who has earned two doctoral degrees (that means PhDs or its
equivalents) has to be addressed as Dr. Dr. Bamboo MD, PhD while a MBBS
medical doctor from UK will be addressed as Mr. Gandoo, MBBS.
