If you are addressing them in a formal setting related to their field of expertise, then it makes sense to address them as doctor. Otherwise, not really IMO.
On that note, don't even lawyers and pharmacists technically have doctorates? We don't address them as doctor.
Yeah, it's really strange there isn't a bunch of tension around calling Janet Yellen "Dr. Yellen" because no one calls her "Dr. Yellen". Even though her credentials are >>> Jill Biden.
But I appreciate her troll game. I hope Sinema starts doing the same thing with her PhD in Justice Studies and demanding people call her doctor while fucking over her electorate.
