Medical doctors seem to be the only people who refer to THEMSELVES as Dr.______. People with PhDs don't usually refer to themself as Dr. ______. What is funny is that medical school graduates are just trade school graduates, but have somehow elevated themselves to be considered well above their rightful status.
Our local news just had a quick clip where it was stated, "A local man heckled Dr. Fauci" :)
Jill Biden calling herself "Doctor" is probably the case in point of how ridiculous it is for many, if not everyone who does it, to refer to themselves as "Dr. _______" when introducing themselves. I think she received equivalent to an online degree, but I'm not sure. Unless you have to do some kind of original, significant, research, that involves a dissertation and defense of that dissertation, I don't think anyone should be called "Dr. ______", and certainly shouldn't refer to themself as such.
Instead of giving in at the end and calling him Dr. Fauci, she should have just called him to his face "Anthony Fauci".
Titles, like pronouns, are never actually required. The person's name can be used instead.
Amen.

Jill Biden refers to herself as "doctor". Medical insurance companies refer to medical doctors as 'providers'. Just sayin.
