Not sure how to handle "doctor" - as an honorific or as a noun

I understand that "doctor" would typically only be capitalized when referring to a specific person with that title, and otherwise is a regular old noun without capitalization.

Would its use in the following sentence be capitalized or not? I feel like it's incorrect to be in lowercase - or maybe it should be in italics?

• "I haven’t had the title of doctor taken from me, but I have a feeling it is forthcoming."

According to the Blue Book, you should only capitalize the title when you are addressing the person or using them to refer to a specific person who holds the title.
