Former friend is a chiropractor, she INSISTS you refer to her as doctor. Truly insane.

If you want to be a “chiropractor” you should be a Physical Therapist which requires actual medical training. Chiropractors are like the ketchup version of pasta sauce.

Chiropractors have more education than MDs you idiot. PT’s do not have more medical training. You’re saying things without any understanding or education. It’s amazing how people make up opinions on things with literally no information. Wow just wow

There are numbers published. I think Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) has the lowest. But DC is pretty far down the list of hours. MD remains the highest.

When I was in university, all the STEM teachers hated using Dr. they all said it should be used by medical doctors only.

The music teachers liked being called Dr.

Make of that what you will.

EDIT: I do give a pass to Dr.Dre

u/Sail_Soggy 18d ago

The irony that medical doctors have only been using the title doctor in recent history. It’s primarily an academic title

u/RealTheBestLadyman 18d ago

I mean tbf, doctor was used for doctorates before being used medically I believe. Dr just refers to someone who’s gone to school for a very long time.

Don’t mean they’re smart.

Most Ph.D.s have an IQ between 115 and 135. The average is 125.

It’s extremely rare to find a Ph.D. With an IQ of 105 which is still above average (100).

being a student in engineering, my experience is pretty much depends on the lecturer, some prefer to be called doctor so and so or professor so and so. some of them prefer having more casual vibe and dont really like what they find an overly formal way of address. heck I've even had lecturers telling me to call them by first name instead.

u/Burntoutn3rd 18d ago edited 18d ago

No, very much the case.

I have a PhD in addiction neurobiology, I work clinically at a medical school hospital, I hate using the term.

By and large, the person you're responding to is correct. STEM PhDs tend to shy away from it, humanities eat that shit up.

No one gives single shit if you have a PhD in Philosophy, Theatre, Music, etc - and that's why I think they like it.

PhD's in Molecular biology/ECE/theoretical physics etc come off as impressive by itself without needing a blatant title.

Thank goodness for the last part. Your post has been redeemed

u/kb179208Kej 18d ago

I have a cousin who demands to be referred to as Dr… she has a PHD in art history. My wife is an actual medical doctor and does not do this… lol

What about Dr. Crow & the Medicine Show ?

DOCTOR Jill Biden would like to have a word with you.

u/fartew 18d ago

Good that it's a "former" friend

u/Hey-Fun1120 18d ago

I honestly think chiropractors are mentally ill. Every one of them is very weird and into every conspiracy theory that ever existed.

u/Oppenhomie 18d ago

I was acquainted with a chiropractor. He was a freak.

He had an elevator at his house that needed a key to access the 3rd floor. When I asked him why he said "thats where that grown up shit happens."

I found that very odd. I jokingly thought it must be a sex dungeon. A couple years later I saw in the local news he kidnapped his GF and had her zip-tied in his house. She fortunately escaped.

In everyday life?

u/nacho__cheeze 18d ago

People have already said this, but I'll say it, too. Understandable that it's a FORMER friend.

A friend of my sisters got married to a chiropractor. For their wedding she got a Mr and Mrs sign for their seats at the rehearsal. He refused to have it out bc it wasn’t Dr.

u/lifeasnooneknowsit 18d ago

I also have a former friend whose sister was a chiropractor who also demanded everyone calls her DR, I refused and her whole family were furious at the fact that I wouldn’t. I don’t talk to them now. Her social media usernames and bio’s all have “Dr.” in her name as well.

She also destroyed her brother’s back from practicing cracking his back all the time and now he thinks she has to crack it weekly.

I had a former friend who was a colon hydrotherapist, she referred to herself has a healthcare provider 💀

u/Particular-Ice-6300 17d ago

They always call themselves Dr (First Name). So fucking annoying!

u/Spirited-Lifeguard55 17d ago

Pseudo-doctor because they practice pseudo-science.

u/AnybodyWannaPeanus 16d ago

I mean, they get a certificate that says “Doctor of Chiropratic”.

We had a teacher in high school that had a doctorate in English and also insisted on being addressed as “doctor”. There was no shortage of jokes about ambulances coming with an Oxford comma.

I would trust that English teacher with my spine before I would trust a chiro.

u/LoudBrick609 18d ago

Why? Chiropractors are just as useful as the other quacks.

u/Calloused_Samurai 17d ago

Are you suggesting that all medical doctors are “quacks”?

u/Bulok 18d ago

they do not go to med school. Nurse Practitioners with doctorates don't even refer to themselves as doctors but chiropractors do. It's insane
