No they aren't. The only people "entitled" to be called "Doctor" are holders of doctorates. Everyone else who is called that (including medical doctors) is only called it by courtesy.

a) It's incorrect to use "Dr" and post-nominals at the same time.
b) It's also incorrect to use "BSc" and "MSc" at the same time, since they're different grades of the same thing.
c) If you're going to separate the different post-nominals with commas, put one after your name as well.
c) If you'd been to a proper university (read: Cambridge) you'd know that post-nominals are listed in descending, not ascending, order. You don't see the Duke of Grafton putting his DL before his KG.
