"Dr." started as a title for academic doctors before it became a title for physicians Whatever your own feelings may be, the original idea of the title was always to indicate that PhDs are at the top level of expertise in their field, not that medicine is a unique fieldhttps://twitter.com/meghan_daum/status/1256267018992521217 …

afaik doctorates aren't even necessarily terminal degrees in academic professions, depending on the country-- iirc most European countries have something like a "habilitation" which is sorta like a second thesis, which is required to supervise PhD students

Yeah and we could argue over whether you're really a "doctor" in the sense most regular people mean "doctor" if you earned an MD but you never completed residency and boards and therefore aren't licensed to practice
