In dutch, a person with a PhD is called a "doctor", while a person with 
a medical degree is called a "dokter". It's not pronounced entirely the 
same, but it's close enough, and it makes it damn hard to explain to a 
normal person that you're not studying to cut up people for a living. 
:-) The term "arts" corresponds to "medico", but it's less commonly used 
than "dokter", just using it makes you sound more educated than you want 
to sound in the presence of said company...
