Yeah, my dad has a PhD, but he's never gone by "doctor" before. He could, but he's never been a big ego kind of person.
I would totally do it.

I would only do it if there was another doctor who had a big ego...then i'd whip it out just to shut him up...otherwise i'd just go by my first nameThatGuy wrote:Yeah, my dad has a PhD, but he's never gone by "doctor" before. He could, but he's never been a big ego kind of person.

Frankly, I don't get calling anyone Doctor. In the context of the office or hospital, fine. Outside of that, it's dumb. There are a lot of hard, important jobs. How are firefighters referred to away from work?
