What is the difference between a medical doctor (MD) and a doctor of philosophy (PhD), and how does the role of a doctor (Dr.) vary between these two professions?

The main difference between a medical doctor (MD) and a doctor of philosophy (PhD) is their area of expertise. MDs are trained to diagnose and treat medical conditions, while PhDs are experts in a specific academic field and conduct research.
