In light of many tweets. I propose this poll. Please share far and wide and let's find out what our academic friends think of this issue. Would be great to see the reason for your response as well. Should we abandon the use of 'Dr'?

Isn't it horrible that a simple title is needed for all that? I guess this feeds into my hate for it.

That's great it helped you, but you don't deserve those things any more or less after you got the PhD than you did before.

Yes, it's disgusting. But to take it away from me would take my ability to access this stuff.

Take away the title 'Mr' and maybe men wouldn't be listened to as much. So let's keep it.

It's the same. The title gives you a privilege you do not want removed, even though you agree the title is nonsensical.

Nope. You think a medical doctor listening to me is a privilege? That's them doing their job.

Which they should do regardless of your title. The fact they didn't is awful. But that doesn't provide support for your notion only lets me know those doctors were pricks.

Most/many doctors, to be fair.
