< pedantic > Wakefield was struck off the Medical Register in May 2010, and cannot practise medicine in the UK </pedantic >
(Genuine query )Should he still be addressed as Dr.?
- tel 16y agoTypically, you're eligible to use that title after receiving the degree. I know a number of non-practicing people who have degrees and sometimes (rarely, really) use the Dr. It's still a term of respect for completing a demanding program. Of course, with Wakefield it's difficult to still muster such respect.
- carussell 16y agoHere's a suggestion: go the route of the Wikipedia manual of style and drop all honorifics. "Wakefield" suffices, as does "Salk".
