It is call “RESPECT”—THEY Earned it!!!! YOU are the Weird one!
You are missing the point.
Obviously, accomplished doctors at the top of their profession deserve respect. But there are ho-hum doctors and even incompetent doctors too. Do they deserve automatic respect, regardless of their mediocrity? And are doctors the only ones who have earned respect?
There are many, many great people at the tops of their professions, equally deserving of respect…but it seems only doctors get their noses out of joint if they get called “Mr” like everyone else.
Please tell me I don’t need to explain this again.
