Talk:Doctor (disambiguation)

Disambiguating Doctor / Physician / etc.
We had a debate on a talk page of mine, whether the term Physician comprises other practicing medical professions (i.e. surgeons) or not. We haven't come to a definitive result, as there seems to be an US/UK difference and I am from neither. If some US English speaker could comment on this..

Maybe this could also help to clarify this disambiguation page. -- Ravn 09:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand the problem as this is "Doctor (disambiguation)" not "Physician (disambiguation). My understanding though, is that surgeons are a subclass of physician. Some medical specialists (biochemists for example) would generally not be considered physicians, though they would be considered doctors. Dv82matt 04:38, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Anyway, this should be at "Doctor," not "Doctor (disambiguation)." 210.189.164.104 06:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
