  1. Peter,

    The University of Melbourne gives good account of what is
    required to hold a degree as a "Doctor of Medicine.". Pretty
    good Uni you would have to agree.

    unimelb.edu.aur3036.htm

    Likewise the University of Texas site also explains what is
    required to hold a degree as a "Doctor of Medicine."

    swmed.edud
    egree.html

    So we can compare that the same requirements are in place
    between Australia and USA and indeed the UK, for Doctors to
    hold a degree called "Doctor of Medicine."

    The University of Bristol refers to the degree "Doctor of
    Medicine" as "MD" and the requirement is Bachelor of
    Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery as is the case here in
    Australia.

    Now, just so the general audience does not get confused
    about who has the right to call themselves an MD, please
    read the following site (Clause 8 will do nicely.) from the
    University of Tasmania.

    admin.utas.edu.auadmin.utas.edu.au
    rhdmed.html

    The use of the term MD is becoming more universal so I think
    that the point you were trying to make was simply your way
    of denigrating Dr Cabot and of course you eluded that she
    was not even registered and that no one cared about this.
    Are you saying that she has been de-licensed or perhaps just
    not registered in Australia at this time ?

    Now if you do not fancy the Uni of Tassie, then lets look a
    little more closer to home at the University of Queensland.

    uq.edu.auprogram.html

    It does say Doctor of Medicine "MD", does it not.

    I think you owe a whole lot of people an apology for the
    deceiving and near libellous statements you have made about
    Dr Cabot MD. Certainly you have tried to lead people to
    believe that you know it all with your BA which simply
    stands for "Bloody Awful" person.

    I think Dr Barrett is no longer registered either.

    Cheers, Rod

    By your 1st statement here, do you mean to say that in

    The only thing I'm having trouble with is
    understanding you.

    It is not my fault that you are as stupid as a rock.

    Doctors in Australia do not call themselves "MD". The
    abbreviation does not mean "medical doctor" (even in the
    USA), but refers to a university degree called "Doctor of
    Medicine". Only people holding such a degree are entitled
    to put the letters after their names. Ex-Dr Cabot is
    perfectly entitled to call herself "Sandra Cabot MB,BS".
    It is doubtful whether she should call herself "Doctor" as
    this is a courtesy title and she is no longer registered,
    but nobody really cares about this.

    If you had ever been to a university, you would know that
    degrees have names and official abbreviations. A Bachelor
    of Medicine from most Australian and UK universities is
    not called "BM" but is "MB". A Bachelor of Surgery is
    called "BS" in Australia but "BChir" or some variant in
    the UK. A "BS" from an American university is a Bachelor
    of Science, but that is called "BSc" in Australia. I did
    essentially science courses at university but I have to
    put "BA" after my name because a quirk of my university's
    rules meant that I was granted a Bachelor of Arts.

    Simple, isn't it?
