Dr. Anil Desai has a Ph.D. in Sarcasm, an important subject that is unfortunately not taught in medical colleges. What might also not be part of the medical curriculum is the knowledge that the prefix Dr. can legitimately be used by anybody with a doctorate. BTW, if I am not mistaken, being a British surgeon Dr. Anil Desai should more aptly be referred to as Mr. Anil Desai. Cheers, Santosh
