Doctor?

boy blunder
didn't bugs bunny call Elmer doc, I think he called everyone doc, I think its a common sense thing you can get medical certificates from pharmacists now, they're not doctors, I have two friends that work in the recycled water business who are referred to as doc because they fix problems, as I am sure there might be a mechanic or two that might be referred to as docs, as long as the guy or girl I see has a medical certificate I don't care what he is called

Scientists are called doctors ...GPs are called doctors.... Some medical specialists are called Mister, some are Doctor and some are Professor .... My lung specialist is called Professor.... I think it depends on level of medical education but seems strange that specialists start out as Doctor then becomes Mister again ( as if they lost their degree LOL ) In my opinion scientists should NOT be called DOCTOR

  Surgeons ? They became so proud to be distinguished from physicians that the title of Mr became a badge of honour, is one story. The other story of interest - the tradition arose before the 1800's when physicians were by definition doctors who possessed a university medical degree (an MD); surgeons seldom had any qualifications.

Yes...that was very strange "them call Her/Him" ...normally you would have used "they".....mmmm..anyhow....its a bit late to change everyone else's titles, on the entire planet... because you are struggling with it...I think you will need to adapt to what everyone else has been doing for a very long time....

	Doctor?

	Should only medical people be called Doctor, as i believe when your introduced to someone & them call Her/Him (see what i did there) Doctor, you automatically presume that they are a Doctor of Medicine.
