[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT call yourself a doctor unless you are a medical doctor. Seriously, if you do, everyone is laughing at you. We all know when someone refers to a “doctor” they mean a freaking physician or surgeon or specialist - someone in medicine - and NOT someone who got a PhD in education or math or the like. [/quote] I hope you realize that the original title of doctor was for those with a Ph.D., not for MDs. It was a title adopted by some country's medical professionals. The latin word from which it originates, doctor, means teacher. Medical doctors are mostly not qualified to do research or teach (at least, not the ones I have met), and can barely understand the statistics necessary to interpret research papers in their own fields. But sure, go ahead and steal the term, call yourself a "teacher" and then ban its original meaning and use for people with PhDs. Great idea.[/quote]
