      Look, my take is that if you want an egalitarian society where we don't use titles and we all go by first names or as "Friend" the way the Quakers do that's fine I just reject the idea that because MDs BOTH have a terminal degree AND heal the sick that they're special

      None of the moral arguments for why MDs should get special treatment hold up when you ask why NPs don't get to be "doctors"

      And the "stolen expertise" argument doesn't work either Because MDs do this to other fields WAY more than PhDs do it to medicine Look at Ben Carson

      Like do you think Dr. Oz is less of a grifter than Dr. Phil Before the pandemic they actually did both mostly stay in their lanes defined by their degrees (Oz for quack physical cures, Phil for armchair clinical psych), does that make the con any less evil

      Most of the cranks on Twitter pushing conspiracy theories about COVID-19 with "Dr" on their name *are* MDs, or claim to be, and act like this makes them the peer of an MD like Dr Fauci when it obviously doesn't

          I grew up among young Earth creationists, they LOVED putting "Dr" on their names while arguing God created the universe in six days 6000 years ago, and the vast majority of those were MDs (whom fundies think of as fundamentally more virtuous than academics)

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          The vast majority of MDs are not scientists and are not trained to be scientists. They are not "doing science" in their daily work in any meaningful way. That's not intended as a criticism- it's just a fact that their job is not to be a scientist, it's to diagnose & treat people.
