Doctors are not scientists.

In a way aren't doctors just paramedics with more expensive malpractice insurance and a larger list of standing orders?

Can we maybe agree on "applied scientists"?

No, biologists are applied scientists, doctors are applied biologists.

Think of doctors as physicists, but they do actual work and their research is actually beneficial to mankind.

What does "scientist" mean to you? Does scientist=smart person? Then fine, doctors are smart people so call them scientists if you want. That isn't what he word is supposed to mean though. Scientists do science.
