- In Germany, the title Doctor is used for someone with a PhD.
- A medical "doctor" without a PhD is just an "Arzt" (sp?),
- whereas English uses the same title in both circumstances.
- Common use favours the medical side, however: introduce
- yourself as "Doctor" and most people will assume you practice
- medicine. I think the German way is better, myself.
