I am sure glad medicine doesn't give any honorary degrees.

It's just an ego trip anyway.
Let them play their silly games and use their silly titles.

You could just call them hon.

Re: Doctorgate II: E Tu Dr. Jeffers?

Here's what the Bible says about a DD degree:

10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all Dumb Dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant
Isaiah 56:10-12

Re: Doctorgate II: E Tu Dr. Jeffers?

My degree is not a DD but a TH.D.

Ya'll can call me Doctor Ellis, or Doc. Ellis, or Elder Ellis, or Bro. Ellis, or Sam or Jim, whatever.

I have one of these framed and hanging on my wall
