Replying to @Cosmosasaurus @_pem_pem
People use ellipsis in a variety of ways colloquially. I understand not liking her insistence to be called a dr. in the public eye because of this common misconception, but it doesn’t mean she’s wrong

She’s not wrong & everyone knows that people with a PhD are doctors, I think the point is that even a lot of people (with/without PhDs) agree that if you’re not a medical doctor & force people to call you doctor & emphasize it at every given moment, you’re kind of arrogant.

It ought, then, to be equally "kind of arrogant" to insist being called "doctor" if you're also a medical doctor.

I would agree that unless you’re in a setting where it’s important, that would also be arrogant!

Yup, and the general public reasonably assumes that a person insisting on being called Dr. is a medical doctor, since Medicine is relevant to most people, whereas Academia is not.
