Nurse practitioners have a doctorate. It's a Doctor of Nursing Practice. RJ Cole's mom used to call herself a doctor with a DNP. It was weird.

Point me to a state that considers physical therapists or chiropractors physicians. Because I just searched it and found absolutely nothing other than resources specifically saying they are NOT physicians. Gonna be honest brother... that sounds like total malarkey and I'm just about positive you are wrong. I'll gladly eat a handful of crow if you can show me. No medical school, no residency, no license. I ain't buying that.

My physical therapist goes by "Mike" and I respect the bejesus out of him. Smart guy that got me walking again a couple months ago after an injury. He is highly trained and an expert at what he does. Doesn't mean he's a doctor.

IMO anyone but a DO or an MD in a medical position should be banned from going by doctor in a clinical setting. It's misleading to patients. It would be like if my wife (phd in philosophy) asked to be called doctor if she went to the walk-in clinic. They'd think she's friggen nuts.
