I work for a university. Everyone around me has a PhD. I am also earning my own doctorate. NOBODY uses the term "Doctor" except when someone passes their defense and their committee chair gets to be the first person to call them that. I know several university deans and provosts, and I call them by first name. My physician is also faculty. First name. This guy was an idiot.

    I have a friend with a PhD in computer science. He doesn't go by 'doctor' because people ask him for medical advice. 😂
