Doctors don't deserve to be called Dr. _____ and treated like gods.

Doctors are people like everyone else and are not gods. I agree. There's no reason why they shouldn't be called a title they earned. Do you want to strip away other titles such as Colonol, Lieutenant, Counselor/Your Honor (judge), Mr. and Mrs.?
I wouldn't want to see a god for therapy, I want a real living, fallible person. Calling her by her doctor doesn't make this less so.
