The title is not exclusive to medical doctors and predates modern medicine. Anyone who has earned a recognized doctoral degree earns the right to the title of doctor.
This is true. But honestly, I'm probably not calling any of them Dr., including MDs. Why do they get a title? They're not better than me. I'm calling almost everyone by their first name. If they're not calling me a title...neither am I.

My wife and I both work in healthcare, so I encounter "doctors" quite a bit. I refer to them as "doctor" in a professional setting, but I'm also definitely not referring to anyone as "doctor" in a non-professional setting. If you require or even request that someone does that in a casual setting, you are a douchebag.
