Family - you were nice until this morning.

Nobody here is talking about malpractice other than you. We don't get sued for malpractice unles we've made a mistake doing OUR job. When that occurs - neither our degree nor our titile comes into the equation.

You are referring to misrepresenting oneself as an MD when in fact, over & over again, we've all stated that those of us in the real world of pharmacy do indeed use our titles & do not misrepresent ourselves as anything other than pharmacists.

Now....how much clearer can we make this for you? You are becoming as obsessed about this as another poster, who will remain unnamed. Our titles are not going away & using them will not go away.

I can appreciate how frustrating this is for you, but "saying it isn't so" isn't going to make it so. We are PharmD's, our badges say that & for some of us, our colleagues will use Dr. You are not forced to & none of us are going to be offended if you call us by first name or Mr/Ms or perhaps, in your case, you feel uncomfortable & just use "hey you" or "are you the pharmacist?" - we answer to all of that too.

OP - has this question been answered fully for you? Can we all just leave it now?
