I don't need a person with a doctorate degree to treat me. I just need a person who has a reasonable understanding of how does a human body work and a reasonable skill of doing particular medical procedures.

Doctors generally don't have doctorate degrees. That's a Ph.D which is a doctor of philosophy degree. A physician becomes a doctor by earning degrees as an M.D., doctor of medicine, or D.O., doctor of osteopathic medicine.

What you're describing is either an MD, a NP, or a traditional nurse/specialist.
