[QUOTE=dagenham;10973092]On the subject of doctors. The degree is five years, the first three or four ( can’t remember now ) gains a BA or BSc medicine and the last year the MD I seem to remember
No. If it’s a five year course, no BSc (or BA). If it’s 6 years then maybe. MD is a post graduate degree awarded for original research. So most (medical) doctors are just plain MB, BS or similar (bachelor of medicine, surgery). Real doctors have a PhD 😁
As for surgeons being Mr, I always thought that was because they originally were barbers. Anyway, it’s a ludicrous bit of inverted snobbery that causes much confusion. Unique, I believe, to the U.K.
