Outside of movies and academic environments, does anyone in this century still introduce people at their dinner party by their titles/CV? It seems I’d be more likely to say “this is my friend Evan Williams, he’s a music professor - isn’t that so cool? Evan, this is Mike Stevens, he’s a doctor. Who’s that in the corner? Oh that’s Ben - look away, don’t make eye contact, oh shit, he’s walking over here!!”
The Dr: Sorry Ben I'm out of your private insurance's network. Let me draft up a bill and then we can sign that and get started, how does $10M sound? Demand is pretty high and I'm the only supply Ben, free market Ben, inelastic demand Ben, get signing buddy.
What is a medical doctor going to do for you if you have a stroke at a dinner party? MDs don’t walk around with their equipment on them at all times. The best they can do is call 911 at that point.
