In the US, not only does "doctor" mean a medical professional with an MD degree and anybody with a Ph.D. degree, but also a Doctor of Divinity degree (which is the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree in anything else) and even the Juris Doctor degree that all law school graduates have (which is roughly the equivalent of a Master's Degree in most fields).
Although one rarely sees a lawyer insist on being called "doctor"; pretty much only in academic settings in my limited experience. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
