This is akin to a philosophy professor walking into a hospital and saying "I'm a doctor."

The actuality; the professor is correct. The circumstances of the situation just make for misunderstanding and an apparent disrespect for the medical doctors walking around, from the perspective of the medical doctors.

edit: changed the wording

The fun fact about this story is that -at least in my country-, a lot of those so-called medical "doctors" actually are not doctors. They completed medical school and some specialty, but they never completed a research thesis.
