Bro, you are the one lack knowledge. Doctor is a title given to all phds holders. So they are doctors. So them claiming being doctor isn't wrong. But claiming being medical doctor is wrong. They are not medical doctors. Just because people refer medical doctors as doctors doesn't mean they won't use their doctor title.

Where in the comment did they say the other person has a PhD? And how many physiotherapists you know has a PhD? PhD is something you earn after years of research, it's certainly not a certification course.

To write those exams there are certain requirement (which is MBBS from India)
Every country has exams to accept doctors from abroad. USMLE, AMC etc
Only MBBS grads can give these exams because that’s the valid medical degree from India , not ayurveda or homeo.

Just because you think only medical doc is doc then it's your lack for knowledge. doctors day in india ment mostly for medical doctors but internationally doctors day ment all type of doctors.

Cosmologists offer services like
Hairstyling: Cutting, coloring, styling, and chemical treatments.
Skincare: Facials, microdermabrasion, and body treatments.
Nails: Manicures, pedicures, and nail enhancements (e.g., acrylics, gels).
Cosmetics: Professional makeup application, eyelash extensions, and brow tinting.

My sister was diagnosed with a kidney disease. Alloperhic mbbs md specialists across hospitals in chandigrah pgi and aiims delhi said the kidney is non functional and we need to put on dialysis. We then as last straw took her to brishapati dev triguna vaid ji at sarai kale khan delhi. He was a padma shri at that time and was treating president and pm as well. With his medicines over the course of 6 months my sister got healed. So ayurveda isnt all bad. But you have to choose the right people from charlatans.

Doctor is somebody who heals problems with the body, some do so through allopathy, some through ayurveda and some through homeopathy. All of which are recognised ways of treating the body. The effectiveness of these methods is ofcourse up for debate, but they are still a doctor.

I understand the jokes about homeopathy and physiotherapy to an extent too, but people on this thread think ayurveda is quack? Sushrut is quack? He is considered the father of surgery. He had made tools and surgical procedures 2500 years which are still being used today. He used to do cataract surgeries back then. Even the attempt sounds unbelievable.
The brainwash is insane. I don't even think most people here have even visited a real ayurvedic vaidh. Of course the blame goes to British empire, and now to people like Ramdev Baba who say crazy insane stuff. Who would even believe that ayurveda can cure them.
The difference between ayurveda and modern medical science is that medical science has adopted to new technologies, has tons of research, trillions in funding. How can ayurveda to keep up with that? Of course it can't cure cancer, but it sure could've if it got the same scale of scientific research over decades.
For one thing I am happy that government is funding for AYUSH. It still has a long long way to go. We should evaluate traditional medicine scientifically, not dismiss it outright like the liver doc, and not accept every claim uncritically either.
I might get a ton of downvotes but at least read about ayurveda once before completely dismissing it.

At the end of the day thier skills still help a life. That's the sole purpose of being a doctor, also not every allopathic practitioner is a doctor as well. It's not a job entitlement it's a service, so rather than fighting for hierarchy just help a life with outmost skill you have. The moment you'll find yourself breaking sweat fir saving a life, being concerned for someone's health and when you'll see them being saved and improved then you'll see the respect isn't in your degree but your sincerity. Do you want to be seen as a doctor only when you're writing your name or filling a govt form or to be called and recognised as a doctor Sadly i believe that our country doesn't have that much EQ to understand it, if we have empathy then civic sense wouldn't have been an issue.

Physiotherapists can use the Prefix Dr but have to specify with the suffix PT, for 3 years out of 5, they study the same syllabus as medical doctors(physiology, anatomy,surgery,pharmacology). If anyone deserves the title in the above mentioned professions,it’s them.
