Isn't Phil a psychologist?
By training, yes. By licensure, no.
McGraw stopped renewing his Texas license to practice psychology in 2006.[48] The California Board of Psychology has determined that he does not need a license in that state because he does not practice psychology on his show.

As far as he's concerned, a distinction without a difference.

That's right, and he's making a TON more money doing what he's doing rather than practicing his trade (Just ask D2 what a doctorate in psychology earns).
If you don't have a license, you're not a doctor. You're just someone who's very well educated in a field.
It's really a distinction WITH a difference.

Well, not quite.
Whether you have a license to practice, you're still a doc. BTW, quit slacking, check to make sure your license is good and go terrorize some residents...

I haven't been following the Pennsylvania senate race all that closely other than to be aware that the Democrat candidate (Fetterman) had a stroke a while ago, and at his last public appearance, he appeared, well, Biden-esque.
OTOH, I know little about Oz (R-Oprah) other than he
iswas a credible board-certified heart surgeon. His medical credentials seem solid and he has had multiple academic appointments.BUt...he's said some pretty strange things, which make me wonder.
