To set the record straight for this one-time editor, Mr Edelsten does NOT have a doctorate from The University of Melbourne. He was awarded the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery which makes him a "doctor" in the eyes of the community but not an "academic" doctor, that is, the holder of a doctoral degree. His doctorate was awarded by the Pacific Western University which is now defunct, and was also previously unaccredited. As for your claims about about "identity theft", that's just BS.
