'Dr' is the correct title for the holder of a PhD: Doctor of Philosophy
The medical title is honourary for those starting out in clinical practice with just a couple of undergraduate degrees.
However, holders of an MD are also fully entitled to use said prefix.
Recent history has muddled these things up.
Dr Wells has spoken. I thank you.
