    Re the PhD vs medical doctor thing, I've always thought it just very unfortunate that both of these use the same title of 'doctor'.

    Indeedy.
    I put Dr. on my first flights after i got my phd. My friends wound me up no end saying i would need to respond to a medical emergency, so i asked the guy at the check in. He just laughed and congratulated me on getting the phd.

    They won't let you perform medicine on anyone without some sort of proof, so don't worry!

    I personally use it sometimes if i think i can get something free out of it - flights and the like:P Never got an upgrade yet though:/ Also, I'm in a startup an the boss loves telling people there are two phd's working here, so we have it in our e-mail signatures.
