Oh well, at least we know that the FF community aren't the only ones being harrassed.
There are plenty of medical doctors in the US who finished medical school a couple of years before 26 years of age. This includes a lot of foreign medical graduates and a fair number of foreign college graduates who came to the US for medical school. I don't care to know if that applies in the case of the FTer being discussed in this thread or not, but a lot of medical school students jokingly refer to each other as MDs well before they are credentialed MDs.
