Sorry to inform you that a doctorate can only be reached in the fields of medical and mental health.

I am a Doctor of Astrophysics...

Medical Doctorates came a long while after Scientific Doctorates. PhD means Doctor of Physics. That term existed at Oxford long before America was even a thought on a map.

It may be to some long-dead Latin speaker.  :evil: I translated for you. "some bloke who Philosophises about a subject" would be OK.

Point is, Medical Doctorates are a more recent invention than the non-medical (e.g. scientific) version.

Don't forget that Doctorates can also be for many other reasons. I have a friend who has a Doctrate in religion. He studies "the afterlife" (to simplify). He is known by many of us as Doctor Death.

I've always liked the idea that out of the TARDIS could walk Dr Death  :evil:. That'd frighten the Daleks and Cyborgs, wouldn't it?

To tell you the truth, I was thinking as I was going to bed last night that there were other positions of a doctorate :P. I just didn't come in time to edit my post because there were other posts already ;D.
