The fact is that in old Europe Physicians got jealous and started referring themselves doctors. Historically, it was those who have doctorates (PhDs) could call themselves doctors.
another fact: PhDs know this and are amused by the ignorance of most of the "doctors." I always refer to my PCP as a physician on her face, never as a doctor. She refers me as Dr. ... because of my doctoral degree.
99% of the physicians I know don't give two thoughts to this.
