"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg didn't realize on Wednesday that the "Dr." in Dr. Jill Biden's title didn't represent a medical degree.
After former Vice President Joe Biden's wins on Super Tuesday, Goldberg floated the candidate's wife for surgeon general.
"I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general ... she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor," Goldberg said, as if she knew of the former second lady's medical expertise.
After co-host Meghan McCain cast doubt on that, Goldberg said: "I could be wrong. I thought she was a PhD."

Hopefully Jill could do a brain transplant for Whoopi and maybe get a bogo for Gropin Joe.

I have a number of friends and co-workers who have PhD degrees, in Engineering, and in various actual sciences. One of them teaches human anatomy to MD students, in addition to doing cellular research.
NONE of them go by "Dr.", all have "PhD" at the end of their names on their business cards.
Jill Biden got a PhD in Education, specializing in 'education leadership', so even not really a doc in education, just in leading educators. Only self-important jerks with PhD's insist on people referring to them as "Doctor".

Not only that, DOCTOR Jill Biden insists that people call her DOCTOR!!!!!!!! So not only is she not qualified, she is a pompous fool.

#3, most in academia seem to like that "doctor" and most insist to be called as such too.
Just more illustration of how little many of them truly know, except in their specific, narrowly focused, specialty which earned them their PhD.
As far as Whoopi, it's truly illustrative of how quick many liberals are to jump to a certain conclusion they are sure it correct when they don't really know.

Maybe Whoopi is catching what Crazy Joe has. Or else she has no idea that there’s a difference between an MD and a PhD. Ignorant, much?

The way the media fawned over her credentials, I had no idea that she wasn't an M.D. I've never known PhD's to be referred to as "Doctor."

If "Dr." Jill (she's an English teacher!) is such a great doctor, the Whoopster should schedule her for surgery.
I'd suggest brain or plastic surgery.

Sorry. Whoopi. You showed your ignorance here in more ways than you know. First, with no history to back it up, you gushed that she was an “amazing doctor”. When questioned on that statement, your response was that you thought she had a PhD. Well, that is correct. But, you showed your ignorance again by thinking that a person with a PhD is a medical doctor. Oh, these celebrities think they all are so brilliant and that the public should seek their advice on everything.... is there anything they don’t know ??

Generally, only within a university setting are PhD.'s referred to as doctors. That Mrs. Biden insists on being addressed as Dr. shows her own pomposity and ignorance. And, Whoopi showed herself to be full of hot air, she had only minimal knowledge about about Jill Biden (perfect example of a little knowledge being a bad thing) and, Whoopi added self-insult to self-injury, showing how ignorant she is, not knowing the difference between an M.D. and a PhD. None of this is surprising, Whoopi talks all the time about things she knows little about. She could be the poster child for noisy, radical liberals.

My son, who is an MD, introduces himself to patients as "I'm Dr. Seuss, but please call me Horton" (obvs, neither of those are his name). Like he says, he doesn't need to hear "Doctor" to know he's earned it. Our last name is difficult to pronounce, so he tries to put his patients at ease and not have to struggle with what to call him.

Whoopi would be the ideal VP candidate. She's just as out of touch with reality and facts as Biden. They're the only two who could understand each other. Sad but true.

Whoopi's braids are too tight; I had that problem when I had hair and was nine years old. And my mom was mad at me.

How is it that Ben Carson is an actual M.D. and a surgeon to boot and the media does not address him as doctor? /s

Let’s get this right for the last time - she is not an MD; she is not a PhD; she is an EdD - doctor of education

The AP style book, which is the gold standard for journalists, does not call for using 'doctor' in a title, I am told..
i have a Ph.D., and never required my students to use my title. Some of them did use it, and it seemed to make them feel good, and a few others, graduate students, called me by my first name.
The word Doctor, was stolen from Ph.D.s by the way. because physicians didn't have a standard title. Doctor comes from the Latin, Docere, which means, 'to teach.'
Adulterous Jill has a marginal sloppy doctorate in 'leadership.' It is a cheap, catchall, half azzed degree.
bernie's wife, Plain Jane, has a mail order Ph.D. from a peculiar 'school' called the Union Institute. It operates out of Ohio, and began life as a Union of Cooperating Colleges and Universities, but they all quit, and the 'Institute' stands alone. I consider it to be of no particular value, but Jane may have found it useful when she bankrupted her college.

Once our company decided to hire an "environmentalist" with a PhD. She was 50ish, wore shorts and T shirts, but didn't believe in leg razors, hair brushes, bras or deodorant. Or dentists. She insisted on being referred to as "doctor" at every opportunity. Truly a gross woman but certain of her academic and moral superiority.

We can laugh, we can rail but this actually does provide a window into the soul of leftists: they praise what they favor, they condemn what they hate. Details and facts are unimportant.

Someone asked "How can anyone be that stupid"
I believe it is congenital.
I might add that anyone who admits to having 7 abortions is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I had a cousin who had a PHD in some obscure religious discipline and persisted in signing even his emails to family as “Doctor So and So”. He is no longer with us but I hope he never realized that the family was was laughing behind his back at the pretentiousness.
Every MLK Day we have the media extolling the virtues of ‘Doctor’ King. He plagiarized his doctorate and is no more a ‘Doctor ‘ than I am. All you will here though is ‘DOCTOR, DOCTOR, DOCTOR KING for weeks.

As a Ph.D., I don't usually use Dr., but at the Mayo Clinic, they always use it. When I was called to an appointment, a woman sitting nearby asked my wife, "What sort of doctor is he?" She answered, "He's not the sort of doctor who does anyone any good." Her questioner responded, "Oh, he's a psychiatrist!"

Jill Biden's degree is neither an MD nor a PhD.. It's an EdD, or Doctor of Education.

I think we should nominate Biden's sister to be Surgeon General.

LOL! Whoopi looks like a fool with those Star Trek alien hairdos, and proves that she actually is pretty darned ignorant, and willing to tout someone's medical expertise without the slightest clue of what she is braying about.
As usual, "the conservative" is well informed, although Ms. McCain isn't really much of a conservative, except in comparison to the other leftists on the show.
