Further to my answer about Dr Matthew Williams, I can now answer your question about Dr. Rago.
Dr Rago is correctly entitled as a Doctor as he is a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). He is not a qualified medical practitioner who is only allowed to call him/herself a doctor as a description of their job. Pedantically, Dr Rago is more entitled to call himself "Dr" than I or any other medical practitioner who is only allowed by custom to use the honorific "Dr" by virtue of having been fully trained as a medical practitioner and having passed all the required examinations. Consequently, I can lay hands on a patients without being open to the accusation of assault (unless my laying on of hands was inappropriate) and treat them with potentially poisonous medications (unless they were in recklessly inappropriate dosages) without the same charge being levelled against me. Dr Rago would not have that privilege.
However, in matters of the science of medicine, Dr Rago is streets ahead of anybody who has trained solely as a medical practitioner, be he MB, BS in the UK or their equivalent in the US. He gained his PhD after being at John Hopkins from 2001-7 where his area of expertise was in Cellular and Molecular Medicine-Oncolgy. This encompasses the area in which DCvax is scientifically based so that he will almost certainly have a far better insight into the science behind the drug than the "man (or doctor) in the street".
The only way a medical practitioner (a common or garden doctor) might be better than Dr Rago is in the clinical side of medical practice and there you have such people as Prof Liau and Prof Ashkan who are no mean slouches when it comes to the treatment of GBM and trials into GBM therapy.
