yeah that's fine because you're a doctor once you get your MD. i actually thought JD worked the same until this Katie Zacharia mess, but i guess it's different because laws depend so much on the state and medical knowledge applies to everyone

did he say "physician"? i only heard people refer to him as a doctor, and i only said you're a doctor when you get your MD
edit: i see he did, idk, seems a bit misleading on its own but he wasn't secretive about the fact that he went straight into public health without practicing

El-Sayed has at times spoken about treating patients and referred to himself as a “physician.” His LinkedIn profile uses that term. “I’m a physician. I trained to take care of people,” he said in a March interview on the show “Breaking Points.”

You are one of the most intellectually dishonest people I have ever argued with on here. And I am not just talkong about this thread but it fits thr pattern. Constantly moving the goalposts, strawmanning, making up fake facts.
? not sure you know what those things are. ig your post said "physician" and i replied saying it's fine but then i only talked about "doctor" from there but that's not mOvInG gOaLpOsTs, it's just slightly changing the subject, which if you haven't noticed happens on the internet all the time lol

it's funny because you're actually outing YOURSELF as intellectually dishonest because you can't conceive of someone looking something up and admitting they didn't know something or were wrong about something lmao. your brain processes it as mOvInG gOaLpOsTs or sTrAwMaNnInG(???) because you can't conceive of a discussion where people are listening to each other and looking things up and revising their views rather than making a claim and sticking by it no matter what
