About question 2: please read this. It explains all you need to know about the word "doctor".

 

I don't understand question 1. Sorry.

[zewel]

thanks for replying about question 2 so acording the following topic the pharmacist and physician are not doctor coz doctor orginily it is latinian word means a teatcher so it specialist for the person who have PHD and physicain and pharmacists arenot doctors or i dont understand it

and the topic is

 

"Doctor, as a title, comes from the Latin term (gen.: doctoris) which means teacher. The word is originally an agentive noun of the verb docēre ('to teach'). It has been used continuously as an honored academic title for over a millennium in Europe, where it dates back to the rise of the university. This use spread to the Americas, former European colonies, and is now prevalent in most of the world. Abbreviated "Dr" or "Dr.", is used as a designation for a person who has obtained a doctorate (that is, a doctoral degree). Doctorates may be "research doctorates," or "professional doctorates". When addressing several persons of whom each holds a doctoral title, one can use the plural abbreviations "Drs." or in some languages,[which?] Dres., may be used, e.g., instead of Dr. Miller and Dr. Rubinstein: Drs. Miller and Rubinstein. When referring to relatives with the same surname, it is common to use the form "The Doctors Smith"

The rules about who can do what vary from one country to another.

Here in the UK I could open a lab and do clinical analysis even though I am not (by any definition) a doctor. I am an analytical chemist but, strictly speaking I don't think that matters. Anyone could set up the lab if they could do the work (if they could not do the work not then it would be fraud).

I would have a very difficult time setting up a lab because people wouldn't want to trust a lab that has not got a reputation from years of work.
