Who is the real doctor - PhD degree holder or an MBBS doctor?

<p dir="ltr">Both a PhD and an MBBS holder can be referred to as 'Doctor', but they have different roles and expertise.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">An MBBS degree qualifies someone to practice medicine and treat patients as a medical doctor. They diagnose, prescribe treatments, and perform surgeries.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">On the other hand, a PhD is awarded to individuals who have completed extensive research in a specific field of study, often in Science, &lt;a href="https://www.shiksha.com/engineering-chp"&gt;Engineering&lt;/a&gt;, or Humanities. PhD holders are experts in their research area but do not typically practice medicine or treat patients.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">While both are doctors in their respective fields, an MBBS doctor is the one who directly works in healthcare to treat and heal patients.</p>
