19th Century Satire | One who lays you up. Source: Foolish Dictionary, 1904. |
Bible | Doctor (Luke 2:46; 5:17; Acts 5:34), a teacher. The Jewish doctors taught and disputed in synagogues, or wherever they could find an audience. Their disciples were allowed to propose to them questions. They assumed the office without any appointment to it. The doctors of the law were principally of the sect of the Pharisees. Schools were established after the destruction of Jerusalem at Babylon and Tiberias, in which academical degrees were conferred on those who passed a certain examination. Those of the school of Tiberias were called by the title "rabbi," and those of Babylon by that of "master." Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | This is a most auspicious dream, denoting good health and general prosperity, if you meet him socially, for you will not then spend your money for his services. If you be young and engaged to marry him, then this dream warns you of deceit. To dream of a doctor professionally, signifies discouraging illness and disagreeable differences between members of a family. To dream that a doctor makes an incision in your flesh, trying to discover blood, but failing in his efforts, denotes that you will be tormented and injured by some evil person, who may try to make you pay out money for his debts. If he finds blood, you will be the loser in some transaction. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

Literature | Doctor A seventh son used to be so dubbed from the notion of his being intuitively skilled in the cure of agues, the king's evil, and other diseases. "Plusieurs croyent qu'en France les septiennes garçons, nez de legitimes mariages (sans que la suitte des sept ait, esté interrompue par la naissance d'aucune fille) peuvent aussi guerir des fievres tierces, des fievres quartes, et mesme des ecrouelles,après avoir jeûne trois ou neuf jours avant que de toucher les malades." - Jean Baptiste. Thiers: Traité des Superstitions, etc., i. p. 436. Doctor (The). The cook on board ship, who "doctors" the food. Any adulterated or doctored beverage; hence the mixture of milk, water, nutmeg, and a little rum, is called Doctor; the two former ingredients being "doctored" by the two latter. Doctor (The). Brown sherry, so called because it is concocted from a harsh, thin wine, by the addition of old boiled mosto stock. Mosto is made by heating unfermented juice in earthen vessels, till it becomes as thick and sweet as treacle. This syrup being added to fresh "must" ferments, and the luscious produce is used for doctoring very inferior qualities of wine. (Shaw: On Wine.) To doctor the wine. To drug it, or strengthen it with brandy. The fermentation of cheap wines is increased by fermentable sugar. As such wines fail in aroma, connoisseurs smell at their wine. To doctor wine is to make weak wine stronger, and "sick" wine more palatable. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
Mining | A. To treat a poor-quality carbon with substances such as oil, wax, gutta-percha, solder, gum, or resin, to camouflage its defects, hence changing its appearance to make it look like a better grade stone. Also called dope b. A makeshift, temporary repair. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
This page is about medical Doctors, or physicians. The term Doctor is also correctly used to describe someone who holds a Doctorate - a higher academic degree. 'Doctor of Philosophy' (PhD) is the most common of these. Some physicians also hold PhD's, typically those who go on to take research as a career.
A Doctor, more correctly called a physician, is a health professional who specialises in curing or easing the ailments of others.
Doctors in all countries must pass through many years of training to qualify.
Commonwealth
Note that in the UK and other Commonwealth countries following the UK system, not all "doctors" are Doctors of Medicine. The academic doctorate in Medicine is a higher doctorate which is only earned by those who have made a significant academic contribution to medical science. Note also that surgeons are referred to as "Mr", not "Dr", unless they are also Doctors of Medicine.
In the UK a doctor's training normally follows this path:
At this stage the doctor can choose becoming a General Practitioner (GP), other community doctor, or a hospital doctor. The vast majority in the UK work as the former, who diagnose illnesses and refer patients for further examination by specialists if necessary. 90% of all patients are managed by their GP without the need for further referral. Hospital doctors can be promoted from SHOs to Registrar, and eventually to Consultant.
- Degree level Preclinical - Doctors must study medicine in university or medical school for two to three years "preclinical" (meaning little patient contact). However following recommendations by the British Medical Association (BMA) many universities are following a "Problem-based learning" approach, which stresses basing the studies around actual patient cases.
- Clinical - This time is spent in a teaching hospital and typically lasts two or three years. After this is completed the student doctor is awarded a Bachelor of Medicine (BM or MB) and Bachelor of Surgery (BCh or BS). He/she is now entitled to use the honorary prefix of "Dr", although he/she is not recognised as a "doctor" in the academic sense of the word (see Doctorate).
- House Officer (HO) - At this stage the student is allowed provisional registration as a junior doctor, but must complete two, six month periods as a house officer in a hospital.
- Senior house officer (SHO) - This lasts from anything between two to seven years depending on the specialty chosen. The doctor is now officially registered and must complete the time in a clinical position in a hospital.
United States
In the United States and countries following the U.S. method, the path to a medical degree is somewhat different.
However medicine is an extremely varied profession and lots of options are available. Some doctors work in pharmaceutical research, Occupational medicine (within a company), Public Health medicine (working for the general health of a population in an area), or join the armed forces.
- Admissions: Persons posessing a bachelor's degree--a four-year post-secondary degree usually earned at an accredited college or university--may apply for admission into medical school. Admissions criteria include overall performance in the Undergraduate years, performance in a group of courses specifically required by U.S. medical schools (biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and sometimes calculus), score on the MCAT (medical college admissions test--a national standardized test), application essay(s), and interview.
- Medical School: Once admitted to medical school, it takes four years to earn an M.D. or doctorate of medicine degree. The course of study is divided into two roughly equal parts. Preclinical study generally comprises the first two years and consists of classroom and laboratory instruction in subjects such as anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, pathology, and neurosciences to name a few. Once the student successfully completes preclinical training, he or she moves on to the clinical portion. This usually occupies the final two years of medical school and takes place almost exclusively on the wards of a teaching hospital. The students observe and take part in the care actual patients. Rotations on clinical services such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, and psychiatry are the basic parts of this curriculum but many specialty electives may be chosen as well. On earning a M.D., one can be called Dr.
- Internship: During the last year of medical school, students apply for postgraduate residencies in their chosen field of specialization. These are more or less competitive depending upon the desirability of the specialty, prestige of the program, and the number of applicants relative to the number of available positions. All but a few positions are granted via a national computer match which pairs an applicant's preference of position with the programs' preference for applicants. The first year of any residency is known as "internship". Completion of this year is the minimum training requirement for obtaining a license to practice medicine in the U.S.
- Residency: Each of the specialties in medicine has established its own curriculum which defines the length and content of residency training necessary to practice in that specialty. Programs range from three years after medical school for internal medicine to five years for surgery to eight or nine for neurosurgery. Each specialty incorporates an internship year to satisfy the requirements of licensure. All specialties hold a board exam (either written or written and oral) at the completion of training in order to confer "Board Certification" in that specialty.
- Fellowship: Certain highly specialized fields require formal training beyond residency. Examples of these are Cardiology, Endocrinology, Oncology after Internal Medicine; Cardiothoracic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Surgical Oncology after General Surgery to name just a few. There are many others for each field of study. The training programs for these fields are known as fellowships and their participants are "Fellows" to denote that they already have completed a residency and are "Board Eligible" or "Board Certified" in their basic specialty. Fellowships range in length from one to three years and are granted by application to the individual program or sub-specialty organizing board.
- Attendings: The physician or surgeon who has completed her or his residency and possibly fellowship training and is in the practice of their specialty is known as a Attending. These are the physicians who may independently care for patients and are the final arbitors of care. They are responsible for all care decisions and may bill for their services.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A physician is a person who practices medicine. The term "physician" is traditional and still commonly used in the United States, but in the United Kingdom and Australia the term is not used - instead they are called a "doctor" (a term also used in the US). Often also called a "medical physician".Related titles are "veterinarian", used for one who cures diseases in animals, and "biologist", used for one who studies the life sciences in general. But the term is correctly used only when applied to doctors.
In most jurisdictions nowadays, physicians need government permission to practise their profession. This is known as licensing in the United States, as colegiation in Spain, as men'kyo in Japan and as registration in Australia.
Titles for specialised physicians include:
