Doctors are the only following professional species that are referred to sometimes by their nurses by the single designation of their professional title. Example: " Doctor wants you to take this pill daily". What's up with that?
I mean you never hear a legal assistant say" Lawyer will see you in court at ten A.M. When is the last time your tax accountant's secretary says to you " CPA says that he needs more documentation"? When is the last time you heard " Dentist says to brush your teeth after every meal'?
On the " non professional" levels, you never hear the following only called by their chosen profession title.
Plumber, Clerk, Housekeeper, Cop, Mechanic,Salesman, and on and on. So, I ask, why do nurses say " Doctor says--"? I think that the rest of those with professional designations should demand equal treatment
