I am pretty sure it is entirely legal to refer to oneself as “doctor” if you claim to be an expert in herbal medicine or gravity treatments or some such quackery. You would get into serious trouble if you tried to append “MD” to your name. We are pretty picky on that point.

T. MD.

IIRC doesn't "MD" simply refer to a degree granted by a medical school? If that's the case it seems that placing "MD" after your name would be pretty much the same as placing "BA" after it.

You sign yourself as "MD" which I take to mean that you're a graduate of a medical school.Assuming further that you're licensed to practice medicine somewhere in the US would you still be allowed to bill yourself as "MD" if your license were to expire,be suspended or be revoked? I obviously understand that you wouldn't be allowed to *practice* medicine in any such situation.
