~~== Usage confusion ==~~

−

The term "doctor" is sometimes misleading. For example, the nutritionist [[Gillian McKeith]] calls herself a Doctor on the basis of a mail-order degree;<ref>http://www.drgillianmckeith.com/</ref><ref>http://www.badscience.net/?p=362</ref> and the [[sex]] therapist Doctor [[Ruth Westheimer]], though she deals with ostensibly medical matters, is in fact a Doctor of Education.<ref>http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9542073</ref> The [[conservative]] talk-show host Dr. [[Laura Schlessinger]], although she deals in matters involving personal advice on her show, holds a doctorate in [[physiology]] from [[Columbia]].

~~The children's author [[Dr. Seuss]] has no doctoral degree.<ref>http://www.playbooks.org/jaxsons_books.html</ref>~~
