  “Doctor”?

  I think you mean “GP”, as in “general practitioner.”

  Don’t being the PhDs into this. Captain Holt would not approve.

    Interesting. Do your general practicioners not have doctorates? I wonder what that D stands for in the MD behind her name…

      Ofc they do. But the specifier matters.

      For instance, would you disagree that the “therapist” part of the title seems a tad less important when there’s something like “orgone” preceding it? Changes the nature, the credibility of what comes after it, no?

      I’m not saying medical doctors are into any sort of pseudoscience, but we are joking about how badly trained and seemingly unintelligent some of them are. And pointing out “general practitioner” also shows that the doctor didn’t specialise, which sometimes is because of lack of ability.

      In Finnish a health clinic is “terveyskeskus”, “health central”, but a lot of people have come to call them “arvauskeskus” ~ “guessing central”.

      The people who actually excel at med schools rarely get stuck at that level and most of the doctors there are like late 20’s without experience or specialisation and the “intellectual rigour” they put into their work is… unimpressive, at best.

      It’s more like they’re using a flow chart for every single thing and can’t understand a word you’re saying.

        And that is why we don’t have enough GOs people shitting on them.
