    "Dr." Fantastic

    If Reed really wanted to be a prick, he would call himself this.

    I knew a guy who insisted on being called "Dr." even though it was a doctorate in engineering. I don't get it. I mean, if someone has a heart attack on a plane and the stewardess screams "Is there a doctor on the plane?", would he say "yes! I am a doctor of engineering!"? Well, he probably would. He was an ass.

    If someone's arteries are clogged could Reed make himself so thin that he could travel through a person's veins to physically unclog them?

    I bet he could. But isn't having someone inject their person into your veins kind of sexual? I wouldn't consent to it.

    When I get my doctorate, I'm going to insist people call me Doctor even though I won't be an MD. There are different kinds of doctors, you know.

    Doctor is just a level of education, a Physican is what you're referring to.

    ...the only guy that I've ever known to insist on being called Dr. was a pharmacist.

    EDIT - forgot to mention that "Dr.Fantastic" is how I sign my paychecks.

    My sister studied pharmacy and every single last one of the professors at her department insisted on being called Dr. all the time. Must be some kind of inferiority complex, what with MDs having lorded it over pharmacists since the 15th century.

    People like being called by their real name. If you have a PhD or an MD or whatever, you are not Mr., you are Dr.
