Doctor: A Completely Discredited Fantasy

"They started putting the word ‘Dr’ in front of everyone’s name — more or less for anyone who has a doctorate in something or other — and Patricia Fitzgerald claims to have a doctorate in homeopathy, whatever that is. Homeopathy is a completely discredited fantasy. When you give that kind of credibility — I mean first you invite them to a well-known mainstream outlet, you let them call themselves a doctor when they’re not really qualified, and then you let them interview other people and present them as professionals — it just layers on and layers on."

-- Peter Lipson, "an internist who specializes in the prevention and treatment of illness", on The Huffington Post's NewAge cult fixation - and all the fake "Drs" of Homeopathy ("whatever that is") out there - in the PoliGazette.
