[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Ph.D wife always says: unless you're ready to say "yes" when someone yells "IS ANYONE ON THIS PLANE A DOCTOR?" then just don't. Got her Doctor Who tshirt that said "Not that kind of Doctor..."[/quote] Haha, perfect! I work in health care and we all roll our eyes when patients or family members who are PhD's asked to be addressed as Dr. It's is actually confusing and a little dumb because in the hospital setting the staff are then going to assume you are a 'real' doctor and speak to you accordingly. Then, you won't understand what is being said, and be left with tons of questions.[/quote] I have a Ph. D and have been in a health care setting for my child where a physician who, in the course of taking a social history of our family learned I had a Ph. D. He then introduced me to a bunch of other health care people who came into the exam room as Dr. So, not always.[/quote]
