While I can sympathize with anyone who wants to improve their employability,
I can't believe that having a PhD in Linguistics (or other area unrelated to
Medicine) would allow one to do an MD program in two years.  If it takes a
BSc four years, then it should take a Linguistics PhD four years also, and
I don't think I would like to be treated by a doctor with anything less.

	Some of my best friends have, or are getting, PhDs in Linguistics
