Is Melba Ketchum a "Real" Doctor?


Editor’s Note: Nadia Moore has a degree in Zoology from U.C. Davis and currently works in Biotechnology. She has been a lifelong Bigfoot enthusiast, with her first personal experiences taking place in the Trinity Mountains of Northern California where she lived on a remote ranch during high school. She also a contributor to the After Hours show with Team Tazer.

This post is in answer to the claims that I have seen circulating regarding Dr. Melba Ketchum not being a "real" Doctor, and not being qualified to perform a genetic study. So let's take a look at what it takes to become a Veterinarian in the United States, and what "Title" that entitles one, pun intended, to use. Currently in this country to be accepted into Veterinarian School you have to have completed a 4 year degree in a scientific discipline (Bachelor of Science) as well as fulfilling other qualifications of grade point average, character, experience, and potential, just like Medical School.

Sometimes a person is admitted without a 4-year science degree if they have other outstanding experience or qualifications, but this is the exception. Vet school takes 4 years, just like Medical School, upon which many Vets then take internships/residencies, just like Medical School, if they want to specialize in a certain area of medicine or kind of practice, but unlike Medical School completion of a “Residency” is not a requirement. Many Vets specialize in certain areas such as Nutrition, or Radiology, or Genetics, just like regular Doctors. This can entail doing specialized work while in Vet school or completing Masters or Ph.D. programs concurrently or after Vet school. At my time attending and working at U.C. Davis, which has a School of Veterinary Medicine, I knew many Vets who chose to go into research or teaching, instead of practicing medicine. This is true of some Medical Doctors as well. In the United States Veterinarians receive a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, which makes them “Doctors”. They then have to pass a State Board of Examination in order to practice in the state of their choice, just like Medical Doctors.

    1. That's funny? You have the nerve to challenge a Doctor's intellect when all you do is sit here all day and make dopey, unfunny remarks? I can guarantee you you wouldn't make it 2 months in school trying to be a vet. A good friend of mine is a Vet and getting through school isn't easy, and if she was in it for the money she would be practicing privately, not taking 5 years out of her life to do a fucken bigfoot study.

    3. PHD in Microbial and Molecular GeneticsTuesday, December 11, 2012 at 7:02:00 AM PST

      Nadia isnt a doctor she has a degree in zoology...which qualifies you for a basic entry-level job of some type. Zoology degrees arent worth much unless pursued to a PHD, a doctorate.

      Pharmacists, Veterinarians, Radiologists, MDs, DOs, PHDs are all "doctors", its whether or not they practice and train in genetics. Some of the best genetics testing out there comes from folks working towards their doctorate-PHD, but arent yet doctors.

      Ketchum is perfectly qualified to be legitimate, but is she? Guess we'll see what happens with the ol' Bigfoot paper to be sure.

      Delete
    4. Of course Ketchum's a real doctor, this latest Nadia from Narnia stunt is only designed as yet another BE/TT header to cast doubt on something that is sound science but not in tune with their own views. Pathetic attempt in the extreme no matter how much it's disguised as "support".

  7. So Nadja, you are asking a person who's scientific paper on a certain subject has yet to be published (maybe, as far as you know), to put on the internet all data about her schooling and qualifications? Why? So YOU (who are you?) can do WHAT? Decide whether her maybe-to-be-published paper is what? Good science? Whether she has the RIGHT to do that not published paper? To check in advance if her study is competent? Who, again? You? Why?
    You're stupid, rude and ridiculous, all at the same time. Bravo.

    1. Please point out the sentence anywhere - ANYWHERE - in that entire article where the author is demanding anything of Dr Kethcum??? In fact, all she is doing is providing the qualification of a veterinarian. The author didn't talk specifics on Ketchum AT ALL.

      Are you all f*cking nuts? Is that a requirement to belonging in the 'community'? It certainly seems that way. OR at the very least the inability to comprehend simple sentence structure. Is there a maximum SAT requirement to weed out people too intelligent, like 600 total on both exams? Seriously... many of you are in dire need of psychological evaluation. I had an encounter but it's downright embarrassing to be associated with the mental midgets on display here.

  15. Nadia brought up some perfectly legitimate questions that beg further explanation from the Ketchum camp. It would not be the first time that a "Dr" or a "scientist" trumped up their credentials in order to blind others to their lack of experience or related education. Nadia is speaking from her own experience of working in a related field and saw some items that seemed out of the norm and she questioned those inconsistancies in a thoughtful and fair way. THIS is what our discussions surrounding Bigfoot research should sound like; measured, fair, and insightful.

    What they shouldn't be is exactly the type of responses that were posted previously.

  21. First of all, this post is right but quite frankly not germane to the "Bigfoot" issue. But a medical doctor cannot do research to save his/her life. My dad was a physician, I have a Ph.D. (social science) A vet is an "animal doctor," the stakes are a bit different dealing with humans. Either way, to conduct DNA studies you really should hold at least an M.A. or higher in Genetics? Obviously, with the advanced degree of Ph.D. makes you more credible dependent upon your experience doing sequencing. But thanks for the lesson to many people on here that have no idea what they are talking about. Besides it sounds like she sent it to alot of labs, which is standard in that discipline for repeated measures. The whole "study" sounds like it is completely ridiculous and the scientific community is not conspiring against her. There is obviously something wrong with method, results, validity etc. How do we even know she did the study? Or is even submitting it? She could just be a kook.

  22. If I send something to a journal and it doesn't get published or a revise and resubmit it doesn't mean that it is quality research...trust me I have been accepted in this process and rejected alot. And generally, the entire study I have done needs to be re-worked completely. Thus changing it a great deal.
    Fact is you need a body. I could have tons of coelacanth DNA but it doesn't mean it "exists." That's why they had to catch one off the coast of Madagascar and that folks is what sealed the deal. Sorry, zoology requires that.

Abraham Lincoln only had a rudimentary education, yet became arguably the best president this country has ever had. Bill Gates dropped out of college and what did he achieve?

    Get my point. It is not what you earn in school that counts, it is how you apply yourself. And she does have a doctorate.

    The Melba hating and bashing continues even though only a handful of people have knowledge of what is in the study. What a sorry lot.

Albert Eisenstein used to eat paint chips incessantly as a child and he went on to invent the refrigerator. And the Wright brothers were both partial to lead sinkers and they invented shoe laces. And Pocahontas ate paint with every meal and she became the first woman on the moon. Just because I don't have any education whatsoever and the doctors say that I only have nine percent of my brain left doesn't mean I'm not smart.

Well I got news for you five dollar Phil; the people who were successful without any education lived back in the day when education wasn't important. Now days uneducated people are only qualified to perform the most mundane of menial labor. Also I would like to point out that if you're so happy being a bum why are you on this website trying to tear down the educated? Sounds like a case of the sour grapes to me.

    13. Didn't Edison and Lincoln come from a time when education was only for the rich, the top social classes? Wasn't Lincoln a law student? I would agree that intelligence is not something that you have to get a degree to prove you have it. There are many different types of intelligence, I know people with degrees in Math who know nothing about anything else like history, literature, plumbing, mechanics, computing, medicine, electronics or how to make an egg sandwich. They aren't dumb just smart in that one field, most people have the thing they're really good at and follow it that might be a trade or molecular physics! I think when you are dealing in genetics tho it's a different ball game and maybe if you want to be taken seriously it's something you shouldn't pursue as a second career after thought.
