The article certainly supports what Miguel said; however, I, and the faculty who were responsible for my education at the graduate level believe that the PhD is the degree that is most eligible to be called Dr. since it predates the MD by a long time. The original PhD's were recognized for being scholars. The original "medical doctors" were recognized for being barbers. Who deserves the title of Doctor more?
