Im not a MD but I stayed at a Holiday Inn once...

Quote:
MILWAUKEE – He seemed like Superman, able to guide jumbo jets through perilous skies and tiny tubes through blocked arteries. As a cardiologist and United Airlines captain, William Hamman taught doctors and pilots ways to keep hearts and planes from crashing.

He shared millions in grants, had university and hospital posts, and bragged of work for prestigious medical groups. An Associated Press story featured him leading a teamwork training session at an American College of Cardiology convention last spring.

But it turns out Hamman isn't a cardiologist or even a doctor. The AP found he had no medical residency, fellowship, doctoral degree or the 15 years of clinical experience he claimed. He attended medical school for a few years but withdrew and didn't graduate.
Fake MD, real pilot

It goes to show that having the proper pieces of paper is not really necessary to be a good doctor. I'm sure the reverse is true also.

I was cold and started feeling the effects of windchild on my face, but I checked into a Best Western Saturday night before any damage was done.

Does that make me a country doctor?

I am totally upfront. In the old days I would tell the ladies that I am not a doctor but will have a look anyways if they wish.
