Yeah, there is no "make" people call you doctor unless you have some kind of leverage on them, which isn't something any schools hand out during graduation ceremonies.

I'm sure it would come in handy sometimes, though!

Mildly related, this scene just popped into my head:

"Excuse me, I just need to go get my Doctor Glove"

"what's that?"

"The glove I wear when I bitch slap people who don't call me Doctor. It's embroidered."

You get a dagger in Europe, but their PhD programs are generally shorter and less difficult, so you need the knife to get back to parity with American PhDs. (Personally I think the entire concept is borderline a scam, but whatever.)
