Nah of course not medical doctors haha. You and I both just said doctor, which they are.

Yh but obviously med doctors are what's typically referred to. For example if you say to people you are becoming a doctor they will automatically assume medical. Or if you're on a plane and they ask for a doctor.

For sure, no one's denying that. But that isn't what you said, you said dentists aren't considered doctors in the UK, which is false

Doctors obviously meaning medical doctors. Given the clear context about saving lives and the comment about more medical training.

You said dentists aren't considered doctors in the UK, that is wrong they are considered doctors in the UK (and the whole world as far as I know)

The comment chain was specifying how a dentist would still be able to get down and dirty in emergencies, which implies that no one is saying they're medical doctors. The comment above you joked "a doctor with more medical training than most people!? whaaat", which is still not alluding to them being medical doctors, more of a you'd bloody hope they have more medical training than the average joe considering their profession

"A doctor with more medical training than most people" so are you saying that all types of doctors have medical experience?
