Doctors who won’t make house calls

Doc%20Hastings%20Fu%20Manchu%20Stache.jpg

Stop the presses. Congressman Doc Hastings is NOT a real doctor!

This latest revelation has been making its way through the local “Progressive” blogosphere; breathlessly exposing the scandal.

This shocking news was confirmed by the Republican congressman himself after he gave a commencement speech to graduates of Central Washington University admitting that he dropped out of college.

This recent and never before reported story has prompted the Seattle Weekly to investigate other prominent public figures who use the handle “Doc”, “Doctor” or “Dr.” in order to ascertain whether their PhDs are legit.

The results were shocking.

Below is a list of celebrities who not only aren’t real doctors, but they won’t even accept Blue Cross after they remove your tonsils.

Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
Doc Gooden
Julius Erving
Doc Rivers
Roy "Doc" Halladay
The D.O.C.
Dr. Emmett Brown
Dr. Dre
"Doc" Severinsen
Saint Thomas Aquainas
Dr. Phil
Dr. Seuss
Doc Watson

Extra: Noted sex expert Ruth Westheimer is an actual doctor. However, we also learned that she was a sniper with the Haganah during Isreal's 1948 War of Independence.
