Note than when surgeons were barbers, the Sorbonne was awarding PhD's....
Aside from the staggering memorization load in Med School, I would think the typical STEM PhD involves more work, and more creative work, than the MD. Certainly a lot more writing.

Don't forget that earning the degree only gets you half way to being a practicing doctor. It's a little like the difference between the police and the military, maybe.
