Since when did MDs/DOs corner the market on "Doctor?" I thought JDs, PhDs, PharmDs, EdDs, SciDs,etc held doctoral degrees....I once had an MD tell me that he was a doctor and the PhDs held advanced degrees in "thinkology."
Maybe MDs/DOs need to ease up a little or find a new name. Sadly enough, referring to physicians as "Doctor" is appropriate but this act seems to forget the rest of the folks that studied for many years to receive doctoral degrees in their areas of interest.
It's probably to late and to difficult to reeducate society...............
Frankly, the only title I get hooked up on is "Dad."
