					<description><![CDATA[An ECG TECHNICIAN is no paramedic. A gerontologist is no doctor but one who does a diploma/masters in gerontology.

Anyone can apply for this course and it is not under the Faculty of Medicine. A doctor working in geriatrics is called a geriatrician but these people use this terminology to make this technician feel important. Kindly do not confuse this one with an allied health PROFESSIONAL.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How sweet this was like Konrad passing himself off as an engineer, and then when that failed as an accountant and then when that failed as a project manager.

Or like Joseph passing himself off as an economist.

Or like Edward Scicluna passing himself off as the financial services guru.

Or Karmenu passing himself off as a nice guy.

What a bunch of crooks.]]></description>

There&#039;s nothing voluntary about it.  He is seconded and is getting the pay of an ECG technician.  
He is not a geriatrician.  You have to be a doctor.]]></description>

How wrong you area.  A gerontologist is not a geriatrician, and never will be, if first the person is not a medical doctor.  With a Master&#039;s degree in geriatrics and gerontology, now would be presumptuous to call oneself a gerontologist.  It is only after one obtains one&#039;s PhD and then publishes and continues to carry out research in the field that one can call oneself a gerontologist.

I can well imagine, Prof Phillipson (an eminent gerontologist) who is usually the external examiner at the European centre of gerontology how he must be laughing out loud, when one of the students he assesed calls himself a gerontologist]]></description>
