Controversial Fact: If you have a PhD you're a doctor and therefore should be able to write yourself all the prescriptions you want.

There is absolutely a reason you're not allowed to do this.

But you’re not a medical doctor. You can counsel yourself all you want.

Stop showing off your PhD and give me some drugs for constipation

Well technically you can, you can literally write all the prescriptions you want now, just it has to be in your doctoral PhD field.

So a physics PhD can write their physics prescriptions any time they want!

It's just to have a medical prescription you must have a medical PhD 😋

Sounds fair. Medical doctors write medical prescriptions. What prescriptions should PhDs write? 🤔🤔

what about juris doctor

you know better, right?

No..they're not MDs.

🤔....
Bad idea.

I have a Juris Doctorate, which entitles me to be called “Doctor” but doesn’t allow me to write any prescriptions because I’m not a medical doctor (unlike my older sister and my brother).

No. I know a guy who got a PhD in vibrations just by saying "it moves side to side quicker when.."
Not all PhDs are worth something

Sooooo. Do it. And while you’re at it, I’d like some little pink fuzzy pills and some fat green sluggy looking ones. Thx.

In a few states a phd psychologist can prescribe meds I forget which ones

I think you are being facetious.

This is way we really need to stop calling non actual doctors, a doctor.
