There are certainly incompetant doctors. [Like every one I've ever been to. :-( ] And there are undoubtably people who would be excellent doctors, but don't have the title. That's not the question. The question is would you go to someone who called themself a (medical) doctor who wasn't? (that is, they are *lying* about their title/degree/certification/whatever) Or, (attempt to get this back on a subject suitable for net.singles) would you go out with them?
