Wolfram, I think Betsy mentioned that in the Natter thread. What if Jack isn't the kind to correct him? Not trying to be contrary because I think it is possible that he either didn't finish his residency or lost his license, or that the writers are trying to throw us off.
I need to watch the first ep again and see how Jack identified himself.
Heh, I've been on the Natter diet for a while. I'm not convinced that Jack's not a doctor, but I'm certainly intrigued.
Wolfram.
We lurves our Wolfram, don't we?

After skimming yesterday's Natter, I'd tend to believe you're on the right diet.
Apparently, it's British (and probably Australian, then) to refer to doctors as Mr.
only and specifically hospital consultants in a hospital. if you meet someone with an MD otherwise you'd call them Dr X. If their surname was X. Nation of Islam doctors.
Hey, is our rule for the topic here that Things Said In Interviews Etc. By Lost TPTB are fair game for non-spoilerhood? That's the impression I'm getting, but I want to confirm.
Jack just seems so, I don't know, honest. And he had a surgery story and everything.

Haven't even done that yet. Now you've piqued me.

I thought the default was aired stuff and promos are fair game. Everything else is a spoiler.
I think Jack has had medical training, and probably has an MD, but I think maybe something happened after that point that made him quit/and/or got his medical license taken away.
okay, I'll bite. Why does the notion that they may be in purgatory or something make you react so negatively?
It's a narrative cheat. Like a reset of a show -- the season of Dallas that never happened as soon as Bobby stepped out of the shower.
It's a cheat because it doesn't force the writers to deal with the complexities.
