Do people who go by Dr. need to carry stethoscopes?
One writer in The Wall Street Journal seems to think so, at least when it comes to Jill Biden, who has a doctorate in education and calls herself Dr. Jill Biden.
In an opinion piece published online on Friday, the author, Joseph Epstein, addressed Dr. Biden as âkiddoâ and offered her advice on âwhat may seem like a small but I think is a not unimportant matter.â
âAny chance you might drop the âDr.â before your name?â he wrote. ââDr. Jill Bidenâ sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic.â
