Why are consultant medical doctors often referred to as "Mr" rather than "Dr"?

Best answer:
err. cos they don't have a Phd?This is a UK thing and I wasn't aware of it applying to consultants other that those in surgical specialties, but maybe the internists are doing it as well these days.

It comes from the tradition that, historically, doctors of medicine were university-trained while surgeons were not--they acquired their trade through apprenticeships and did not take a degree. Nowadays, of course, everyone goes to medical school, but surgeons generally prefer to retain the tradition of using the Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms. title rather than Dr. to distinguish themselves as members of surgical professions. Perhaps internist consultants are using it to differentiate themselves from those still in residency?

In the US, all specialties use the title Dr. Smith.

How you know what to call them is, when they introduce themselves, if they say "Hello, I am Mr. Smith," you use Mr. If they say "I'm Dr. Smith," you use that. ;-) If I was having to guess, I would call an OB/GYN or a surgeon Mr. and anyone else Dr. until they said otherwise.As far as I know, but don't quote me, I think it's the higher up in their chosen field of medicine the person gets, they then get a "courtesy" title, i.e. the "Mr." Basically, I think it's a way of saying that this person has reached a very high standard and position in his field.

Just found this out:

"It stems from the time when surgeons were all barbers. They were the only people with sharp enough blades. A quick shave sir, and I'll whip out your appendix on the side". In those days, doctors saw it as a failure to have to cut open their patients, and most surgery proved fatal. It was the option of last hope. So surgeons weren't doctors and they were called mister. And it's stuck. Now you progress from being a mister to a doctor and then finally back to a mister"

I'm an avid bookworm, and at present reading "Under Orders" by Dick Francis, an ex-jockey. This just happened to be in it; the answer to your question.

Now we all know. The question had crossed my mind at times, but I could never find anyone who could tell me. I hadn't the nerve to ask my consultant as I thought he may think I was being rude!Marie is 100% on the ball, this is a UK convention which is rather antiquated. In the dawn of modern British Medicine there was a complete dichotomy in how surgeons & physicians were trained. Although those days are long gone, certain establishments in medicine still remain, i.e. Surgeons in the UK are receive identical pre-graduate training as do "medical physicians," however the convention persists in addressing Surgeons as Mr. or Ms. irrespective of the fact that their fundamental knowledge of medicine is identical. The distinction dates back to when Surgeons were trained in barber shops, and simply regarded as unsophisticated. Obviously, the paradigm has shifted dramatically.

In the USA, Surgeons and Non-Surgeons are physicians and should be addressed as "Doctor." Surgeons treat diseases via anatomic manipulation whereas non-surgeons treat disease via "medical" therapy, but even this distinction is awfully blurry as in the age of modern imaging and advances in Pathology, there is so much overlap that medicine has evolved into such complexity that there are so many subspecialties within medicine that the distinction is progressively blurred. The evolution and history of modern medicine, in my humble opinion, is terribly interesting. Although all western physicians will employ the latest and greatest technique in the treatment of their patients, some traditions are somewhat disinclined to change. For example, one of our finest medical schools, Columbia University School of Physicians & Surgeons still remains the institutions name, irrespective of its espousal of entirely modern teaching and research, indeed, one of the finest academic institutions we have in the US.

Suffice it to say, names and letters really don't say a heck of a lot about an institution or a physician, rather it is the training and the physician's integrity which stands paramount in her/his specialty.
