They need to come up with something to differentiate physicians from everyone else. I don't agree with you, but as a Ph.D, you shouldn't throw a shite fit when someone doesn't call you doctor. Case in point: My stepdad is an ER doc, and was treating a patient. He went into the patient's room and said "Hello, Mr. So and So. I have your bloodwork, and...." The patient stops my stepdad in mid-sentence, and says "It's Dr. So and So." My stepdad then proceeds to tell the patient everything using the strictest medical terms. The patient then said, "Well, I'm a Ph.D." Idiot.
My point EXACTLY
Usually it's the ones who didn't do shite to get their phd who are the ones who DEMAND to be called dr

Scruffy's sister wants to get a PhD in organic chemistry. If she pulls that off, he definitely thinks she earned the right to be called Dr.

Generally I agree, a Medical Dr. has earned the right, a PHD who teaches History, not so much.

A doctorate holder is a real doctor, just not a physician. While I think it's a little pretentious, they earned that right.

Go right ahead. Scruffy's sister can handle herself and would probably kick Rouge's arse.

I see why you people don't have Doctorate degrees...
An MD puts in the work to get the MD.
A PhD in History puts in the work to get a PhD in History.
BOTH earned the right to use Dr.

Not really, some got their degrees from those shitty carribean schools that will graduate anyone that can pay tuition.

My son is a doctoral candidate at Johns Hopkins University in the field of neuroscience. He knows professors who have won the Nobel Prize. In a professional setting they address those people as "Doctor". I believe they deserve the title.
I know non-practicing attorneys who have asked to be addressed as "Doctor". I think that goes a little far despite the fact that they have a Juris Doctorate.
Edited because I'm a shitty speller.

Chief Engineer at my firm with Ph.D. in Civil Engineering is referred to as Doctor or Doc

I am a fan of scruffy. I like nurses, too.

There's only one doctor who I would never disrespect by omitting that prefix.
Doc Swole.

Guessing several PhD's suggested to OP that college might not be his best path
