One of my peers in med school was a DC (“doctor” of chiropractor). And she would insist she was a doctor already because of that title. Had it on her social media, wanted it on her white coat (denied), and would tell people (not patients though) she met

That being said she was a pretty good student though definitely a bit uptight


Conversely we had another student a year ahead of us that had an actual PhD. In the hard sciences too not some liberal arts one. But she would never call herself Dr because of it unless it was for research stuff
