Yes, PhD means Doctor of Philosophy - but strangely can be in any subject
Can also be Dr of Law, Divinity, Education.... or even Medicine

yes you have the right to be called Dr.
However did you know that a GP does not have the right to be called a doctor - the title is given as a courtesy since they have not done a doctorate/phd

Yes. Admittedly, it gets a bit confusing in a research centre where you have both MDs and PhDs, but this is usually solved with name tags - Dr. Bill Jones if he's an MD and Bill Jones, PhD if he's a PhD.

Hi, you can either be Dr Smith or Mr Smith PhD after the name. So yes I guess is the answer to your question!

A engineer or mathematician (example) could get a PhD so it isn't just a doctor!

Yes.
Apparently, If you have TWO PhDs, you revert to mister. (as a consultant, This was explained to me at university.)
There are many different types of doctor. Just because someone is Dr ...., it does not automatically mean s/he is a medical doctor.
