FWIW, if you have earned a doctorate (such as an M.D., PhD, etc) you can
call yourself Dr. This is independent of whether or not you are licensed to
practice any type of medicine. So, Todd could have earned an M.D. or Doctor
of Chiropractic degree, giving himself the right to be called "Dr.
Gastaldo". He may then have chosen not to be licensed to practice, lost his
license, or not renewed it. He would not be allowed to practice legally,
but could still use the Dr. honorific. Technically, "Dr. Laura", the radio
host can be called Dr. because she has a Doctorate in Physiology (not
psychology or psychiatry like you'd assume from the nature of her show).
