Or the surgeons, who started off as glorified barbers, and to this day don’t get the title of doctor, even though “brain surgery” and “open-heart surgery” are metaphors for tasks requiring extreme skill

What? That must be a thing in other countries. Here in the USA all surgeons are doctors.

True, although the ones I know did have the medical qualifications and associated title of 'doctor' and then renounced it when they qualified as surgeons, since it's traditional for them.
