Radio Laura quits!

[Mott the Hoople]

That's because a J.D. is an equivalent to a Masters if you want to be called doctor you need a PhD, those who have PhDs in law are called "Doctor"... And you know that many of your professors were called that.

That's not true at all. In fact the title JD stands for "Juris Doctorate". It's every bit the equivalent of a PhD or an MD or DDS, etc. The proper title for someone who is has a JD and is a Jurist though is "Your Honor" and if they are an attorney it is "Esquire". A JD requires far more time, effort and credit hours then a Masters Degree. about 3 times as much.

In college, when I can't remember names and credentials (not all my professors have had doctorates - especially at a small university and in certain departments), I just say professor, but I do consider it an important sign of respect to recognize PhDs as "doctors." I'll jokingly walk up to a professor that I know very well, and say "what's up, doc?"

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Typically, because its a three year degree instead of a 6 year, lawyers are not afforded the same recognition of distinction, although DVMs (vets) certainly do. One thing about lawyers and vets, though, is that they typically need to advance to a 6 year degree in order to teach. DVMs must receive a PhD in pathology to teach, and I think its expected that JDs will pick up an advanced doctorate in something like agricultural/corporate/industrial law or criminology/sociology/etc.

Since when does it take 6 years to earn an MD or DVS? I got news for you, if you get that far behind in your studies and any accredited Medical school you'd be out on your ass. It's a 4 year program. I think your confusing the residency requirements to earn a license.

Okay, I was never really sure what "esquire" meant...

 

[Mott the Hoople]

No one really uses the honorific "Dr." if they're a PH.d. but not a doctor. Or at least I've never seen anyone do it but right wing political activists.

If you know some one has a PhD and you call them "Mister" in a formal or professional setting, I'm sure the over whelming majority of them would be offended. They may not say anything but they would be. I know I would.

 

[Minister of Truth]

After checking Wiki, my initial hunch was correct, though. It has its origins in gentry, where esquire denoted someone of higher gentry status, and gentleman denoted someone of lower gentry status.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Not even close. Every college professor that I know of uses it. And that is quite a few considering my in-laws are pretty much all professors.

Yea, same here. I have a number of friends and aquantances who work at OSU and they all prefer to be called "Doctor."

My old man has a PhD and I hear him talking to people in the business world all the time and he is rarely ever called Dr not to mention very few would know.

I've always been told that MDs, DDSs, etc. are six year programs. What about a psychiatrist, is that a 6 year MD program, or only 4?

 

[Mott the Hoople]

I have a J.D. And never demanded anyone call me Doctor!

That's because no one likes lawyers.

 

[Minister of Truth]

BTW, Mott, I was saying that DVMs are shorter programs, like 3 years, but vets get called doctor, counter to lawyes who are also in school for 3 years. My guess is that vets have a shorter program than med students, leading to them not being qualified to teach until they complete a PhD in pathology.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Okay, I was never really sure what "esquire" meant...

Yea if you ever see a business card from an atty it usually has "Esq" after his name, i.e. "Howie Screwum, Esq"

It's pretty much the same at any accredited school. It takes an equivalent of 200 to 240 semester hours either in class studies or class time & dissertation depending on the school and the field of study. I know people who have zoomed through their classes on their PhD track in less then 2 years only to get hung up on their dissertation. I knew a guy from Thailand who took 2 years to complete his class time and then 5 years to complete his dissertation. So there's a lot of variables involved. One thing is for sure, if you're in a Doctorate level program at any regionally acredited school, you're going to get your ass busted for at minimum of 3 to 4 years.

To earn an MD or DDS is a 4 year program. After medical school most students have post doctorate residency requirements they must meet to obtain State licensure requirements. Residency is from 2 to 6 years depending on the specialty chosen. 2 years is typical for a field like internal medicine, psychiatry or general surgery, where as a cardio-thoracic surgeon or neurosurgeon will typically serve a 4 to 6 year residency.

Those surgeons who perform your great Aunties by-pass surgery are some of the most educated people on the planet. 4 years underaduate, 4 years to earn their MD and then 4 to 6 years post doc residency to obtain licensing in that specialty. 12 - 14 years of post secondary education.

You wonder why heart surgeons have a god complex? That's why.

When I was a teenager I considered becoming a doctor until I was traumatized when the neighboring farmer found out I was playing doctor with his daughter.

Good riddance...

Dr. (she is not really a doctor, just a fraud) Laura has quit her radio show after admitting what she said was wrong and offering an appology.

Good, her advice was harmfull to people.

she is quitting because she lost most of her advertisers and continues to lose more - this she calls being denied freedom of speech...

Well, its certainly a comforting thought. I've always been impressed with the collection of specialties on House: House is a nephrologist (also specializes in in infectious disease and is a certified diagnostician), Cuddy is an endocrinologist, Wilson is an oncologist, Foreman is a neurologist, Cameron is an immunologist, and Chase is an intensivist.

for once mott gets it right.....

my brother died of brain cancer last year and they opened up the skull to identify the cancer to see if they could treat it....those guys were as educated and experienced as the above and at a top notch hospital in sd....

i would not want it any other way....i wouldn't want some pansy ass touchy feely person....i want someone who can slam dunk and practice like the best athletes do when their game is on....lives are stake....

Actually that degree of specialization is part of what drives up health care in this country. Medical Schools and profesional organizations like the AMA attempt to artificially keep the numbers of physicians low and Med schools keep their costs high. Low supply equals higher demand and higer fees. You also have phsysicians going to these extra lengths to specialize as many of them are coming out of Med school a quarter to a half a million in debt. You can't pay that off and have a good standard of living as a family physician or a pediatrician. End result is a greater degree of specialization and less generalist available as primary portel to health care physicians. Not only does that drive up cost but it impacts efficiency as primary care physicians are much better trained and position to prevent disease and illness then specialist are as specialist are really not health care specialist so much as they are disease and trauma specialist.

Old, hateful hag quits radio

Good riddance...

Dr. (she is not really a doctor, just a fraud) Laura has quit her radio show after admitting what she said was wrong and offering an appology.

Good, her advice was harmfull to people.

She wants freedom to scream "nigger, nigger, nigger"

Who was that woman last night on CNN announcing that she was ending her radio show?

Dr. Laura didn’t seem like Dr. Laura when she talked to Larry King.

Dr. Laura doesn’t like when her listeners play the victim. But that’s what Dr. Laura was doing in revealing she would end her radio show at year’s end.

Poor Laura, always the victim.

“I want to regain my First Amendment rights,” Dr. Laura said, stupidly.

She wants to scream "Nigger, nigger, nigger" without special-interest groups attacking her sponsors.

Of her opponents, she said, “They try to silence you. They try to wipe out your ability to earn a living
and to have your job. They go after affiliates. They send threats to sponsors.”

How many trucks would we need to move this much horseshit?

Laura sold her company years ago for about $70 million,
so why is she whining about her ability to earn?
How many millions do you need, Stupid Cow?

“This is the era of the Internet,” she said, where she is free to scream "Nigger, nigger, nigger" all she wants.

Of course, her appearance came shortly after she used the n-word 11 times on her radio show.

She told King she was trying to illustrate a point about a caller’s “hypersensitivity” about race.

Dr. Laura acknowledged that she “had blown it,” quickly apologized and “policed” herself, but added that some people won’t accept her apology.

ha ha
Choke on it, you hateful old hag.

Laura may have been wrong to use the n-word, but she didn’t want to dwell on that.

It’s more lucrative to play the victim, even if you counsel everyone else not to. Bartcop
