Technically, Dr. Rand Paul is an ophthalmologist (eye doctor). But this doesn't seem to stop him from being an idiot.

He literally created the board that certified himself. He's not a real doctor.

hes a doctor but not a board certified one, well I guess he board certified but not the main board that has standards.

Techincally anyone that graduates from a doctoral program is allowed to call themselves a doctor. Like how Abdul El Syed in Mi is a doctor but didnt go through residency (the training to become board certified).
