Would you say 'women doctor' in this scenario?

[–] flicker 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I actually say "lady doctor." Because I do prefer a doctor who is a woman and "lady doctor" sounds fancy.

E: Last male doctor I had told me that it was "just" an ovarian cyst and it "shouldn't hurt that much" so I should take some aspirin and I'd be able to work tomorrow. So yeah. Lady doctor for me.

I actually say "lady doctor."

But what if you are in country where aristocracy doesn't exist?

[–] flicker 6 points 4 months ago

I do exist in such a country! But I was recently called "quirky" so I guess take my advice as you will.

Weird of you to continue the argument at this point really

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It was a genuine question. I have no argument here. I don't know the best term in this situation.

If people prefer "women doctor" then call them "women doctor".
