So you finish your 8 years of freaking training (24th grade) Now you match into your residency and you start getting materials and it says John Doe, MD not John Doe, MD.PhD. Should I correct this with everyone or let it go?

Up to your personal preference. If you are training in an academic med center, I would ask them to put both degrees.

If you went to kindergarten, you'd actually have finished 25th grade.
