That’s right. Physicians asked to have Doctor put in their names because they were tired of not being respected as much as real doctors, which is to say teachers.
You should look up what a PhD in Medicine is and how it’s not the same as an MD (Doctor of Medicine). Your user name couldn’t be further from the truth.
I already know a PhD in medicine is different to an MD, that’s why I wrote a comment that says one’s a doctor and one isn’t. Read my comment until you understand it.
You said an MD is not a doctor. They are. They are literally a MEDICAL DOCTOR. A PhD in medicine is really only gained as a dual doctoral degree and will then be MD-PhD. It combines the Medical knowledge of an MD with the more research driven knowledge of a PhD.
In the Medical world an MD, is often called a physician. However Lemmy is not the medical world and for all intents and purposes a MD is a Doctor.
You saying MD is not a Doctor is just making you look stupid.
I wouldn’t trust a doctor’s opinion on medicine unless their PhD were in medicine. Most aren’t.
I don’t consider MDs to be doctors.
Reading your comments, I can’t tell if you are trolling us, or if you really are this tarded?
A Medical Doctor isn’t a doctor, in your eyes?
OK, genius.

Both are doctors… There are also theology doctors, juridical doctors, and so on.
There is a difference between 1st and 3rd cycle doctorate though!
Good luck with your accupuncture and herbal tea whenever your appendix explodes 🤣
I trust physicians on matters of medicine. I just don’t think they’re doctors.
I don’t think your username is a good fit for you.
