Both are possible: Dr and Dr.
Never heard of the x version. Very interresting.
Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?
candybrie@lemmy.world 8 months agoI’m used to Dr., Mr., Mrs. all needing the dot.
I’d also add the medical ones which all use x, and most use the first letter of the word, but not all:
- Prescription: rx
- Symptoms: sx
- Diagnosis: dx
- History: hx

Prescription: rx
I work in radio electronics and RX is receive. TX is transmit.

I learned similar shorthand from an accountant, who wrote transfer (money transfer between accounts) as tx.
