An article in today's WSJ Health Blog about doctorate degrees and nurse  
practitioners. Gotta love the physician comment:
 
"Also, since these nurses with a doctorate can use “Dr.” some physicians  
worry that patients could become confused. “Nurses with an advanced degree are  
not the same as doctors who have been to medical school,” says Roger Moore,  
incoming president of the American Society of Anesthesiologists."
 
See? Our goal is to try and "confuse" patients into thinking that  we are 
physicians. Please!
