I think she was a General Practitioner. Big house, you might call it a mansion. She spent lavishly on expensive food, clothes, electronics.

At the end of the month, she would gather up clothing and sometimes appliances or electronics and return them to the store so she had cash to pay her bills.

Every month.

This is who people were trusting their long-term healthcare with. A woman with a PhD on a salary who couldn't plan her finances 30 days out.

If she was a PhD then she had a doctorate. If she was a MD then she was a medical doctor. They are both referred to as Doctor So-and-so but they are very different things. That OP does not understand the difference really detracts from the petty, anecdotal point he's attempting to make.

Besides it's been pointed out a million times before that people who are book smart are not necessarily well endowed with common sense or practical intelligence.

So whats the minimum college degree for an MD?

Are we talking a bachelor degree + med school?
