I have nothing to do with this conversation, but I found it intriguing. So I must also vent. I have my doctor of veterinary medicine and am months away from completing my doctor of philosophy. I also have completed a surgery residency (training above and beyond a regular DVM). I do not ask anyone to call me doctor. By the way, no what they call someone with a DVM, Ph.D or MD, Ph.D, a Paradox. (a Pair of Docs)
I often go off on people who demand to be called doctor, regardless of medical training, Ph.D, or DVM. I once was told by a medical doctor to call him Doctor ***. He refused to call me Doctor, so I in turn recommended that we not just call each other anything. Yes, it is a degree (Ph.D, MD, DVM) that demands respect, but does not put me or anyone else above another person. I know when I go to the doctors office that they have training to be doing what they are doing, and when I go to a lecture that the professor has the training to do what they are doing. Why not just call them by their names and move on? Maybe we should call the mechanic at the shop Doctor because they have the training to be a car doctor!!

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
