re: Would you refer to this person as a “doctor” outside of an academic setting?

Nobility? You don't understand what nobility is. Nobles would crack up laughing at you designating a doctor as noble. Nobility is inherited not earned, except when a meritorious act prompts a King to grant nobility.

Yeah, I try not to inflate their already bloated egos. I'd rather prop up guys with PhDs in Physics.

Only medical doctors will be called doctor by me. I don't care what the setting is.

I use it on correspondence for the fun of it, and I just have a B.S.

What if it was one of the109 people out of the 224 that have received the Nobel Prize in medicine that held the PhD not a MD?

No.
Professor
