Medical Doctors really don’t like it when you call them by their first name for the most part, it’s kinda funny. I do stick to calling them doctor though because it’s kinda like being mean to your waiter/waitress, only instead of spitting in your food, they can just let you die.
frick the rest of the doctorate people, good job you went to college longer, I’m not calling you that.

Could give a shite less. Their name is Fred, I call them Fred. I'm not there to please them.
OP - I'd make an exception for Doctor Death Steve Williams.

I mean I get what you are trying to say though. Doctorate in some fields is not all that impressive.

I call doctors “doctor” in their professional environment, which is the only setting in which it makes sense, IMO. I’m not calling a doctor “doctor” in a personal setting, and I don’t think many of them expect you to (source: my wife who is a doctor and doesn’t give a shite about her title in personal settings).

Hot take
Which plant do you work at?

Yeah, I'm not too impressed with a PhD in Urban Forestry from Southern University (yes they do offer a PhD in that!).
But a real Doctorate in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Math from a serious university has absolutely earned the title 'Doctor', more than most mere physicians have.

"Doctorates" that don't require intensive research, teaching, etc aren't real doctorates.
Graduate School has been seriously watered down.
People talk lots about grade inflation. But, credential inflation is a real thing too.

In my experience, I don't find this true.

My fil is a PhD in chemistry and does not claim the Dr. moniker and corrects people when they use it.

I’m sure it hurts their feelings so much.
