It's a british half-a-lawyer, I think :)
I don't think we have those sort of beasts in Scotland,

we do have writers to the signet.
Do they both give advice and appear in court?
Aye, they do, an as far as Ah jalouse they mun put a peruke on their heids.
And if so, to which century do they dress?

Well and true.
Notwithstanding that, my grandfather, Dr Richmond McIntosh (M.D.) was
bothe real medical doctor (i.e. not just an M. B.) and contributed to
knowldge (search for his stuff
in the BMJ on the internet).
Prior to the modern MD, there was a real M.D., just like the Ph.D.,
L.L.D., D.D. (the four learned professions)
Watering down the title was a reasonable exchange for replacing the
barbers for primary medical care . . .
I'll acknowledge and agree that an M.D. who has either published in a
journal or developed and circulated (not just patented and charged
licensing fees) is a doctor.
I have a couple of friends with joint M.D. Ph.D. I refer to them as
"the only physicians I know who are real doctors" . . .
