Well- having spent time volunteering in hospitals in Kenya and Tanzania, I can tell you in East Africa being a doctor does not mean you have an MD. In fact the hospital I spent the most time at had only one MD and he was never there. The doctors that actually ran the hospital basically just had the equivalent of a bachelors. This is not true for the big hospitals in major cities- but it's pretty common everywhere else.
I mean- I'm only a student and I was assisting in surgery... And no one ever asked to see any credentials from me...
So- I'd be interested to know if you are a doctor or if you are a doctor with a medical degree.
