Dr. Laura, however, is a member of the medical community. Her opinion carries not only her personal endorsement, but is taken as representative of the larger medical community. While it may be debateable within that larger community, someone repeating her opinion is doing so based on the advice or statement of an expert.

This bugs me about "Dr" Laura - she isn't actually a medical doctor. She has a PhD in Physiology. Now, I know a couple dozen PhD's, and (outside a college setting) only the two major league assholes among them insist on being called Dr by their associates/subordinates.
