Doctor of men: Barman
Doctor of Pharmaceuticals: Pharmacist
Actually a gynecologist is not a ‘doctor of women’ since not only women have that reproductive system. they’re doctors of vulvas, vaginas, ovaries, cervixes and uteri etc.
I guess you could say they specialize in female reproductive organs or something
But this “guide” is just super simplified
Yeah, if they’re going to be biologically essentialist, the least they could do is get their terminology correct.
All of these end with t or n except for bone
Because its orthopedic surgeon. Orthopedic is just the branch, it basically means “medicine dealing with the bone”. But it literally mean “straightening children”. It’s best not to talk about the literal meaning
In German:
- Frauenarzt
- Hautarzt
- Ohrenarzt (or the lovely abbreviation HNO)
Something I came across after having to have glass removed from my hand: there’s no specific term for a doctor that specializes in hands.
Never thought of that. I have hand surgery coming up and can’t wait. Had no idea there was a fix for trigger finger. Also, had no idea there was a bullet in my hand.
Is it an airgun pellet?
Doctor of Women? That’s not quite right
And the spelling is British. Had to look that up.
Otolaryngologists, also called otorhinolaryngologists, tend to ears (greek otos), nose (greek rhis) and throat (greek larynx).
