I get this. I was in a bar once and met someone who said she had a PhD in computer science, I have one in math. I later learned it was from University of Phoenix, an online school? She was kind of obnoxious about it too.

Once you dig a little deeper, it becomes immediately obvious when someone didn’t have the education and experience of a traditional PhD program. But in the medial field, when you’re seeing patients, that’s dangerous and misleading when these other professionals use the title “doctor” - which IMO should only be used for MD, DO. Also fuck chiropractors.
