Saying eye doctor in a conversation feels normal. Saying tooth doctor feels like listening to someone who had a bad disco elysium roll and they’re punching themselves in the face to get the words out.

    Similarly, saying butt doctor doesn’t have the same ring to it as proctologist, but either way they’re checking for rings around Uranus.

      Even worse is child doctor. I’m thinking of a child dressed as a doctor, not a paediatrician.
