| | Doctor - definition of Doctor in Encyclopedia |
| | Although medical doctors and some other health professionals with the above medical degrees are addressed as Doctor (e.g., Doctor Smith or Dr. Smith), medical degrees are not usually doctorates, except in the USA, where they are considered first-professional (as opposed to research-oriented) doctorates. | | | The most advanced academic degrees in any discipline, including the medical disciplines, are referred to as doctorates and represent the highest earned degree in a given area of the sciences or humanities. | | | In United States and Canadian parlance, the noun doctor is most often used for all forms of physicians and surgeons, including internists, pediatricians, gynecologists, and all other surgical and nonsurgical specialists who hold M.D. degrees and practice medicine of any form. |

| | They write in the Postgraduate Medical Journal: "Our study demonstrates that trainee doctors, many of them having just completed medical school training, have significant gaps in their knowledge and understanding of the signs of acute illness and the basic, but potentially life-saving, care required to support life." | | | Trevor Pickersgill, chair of the junior doctors committee of the British Medical Association, said knowledge of signs of critical illness was an absolute requirement for any doctor. | | | The researchers found almost a third of doctors failed to answer a question on how to deal with someone who was unconscious. |

| | The medical malpractice lawyers for the defendant doctor, on the other hand, usually have an unlimited pool of expert witnesses from the defendant's own colleagues in the community, making it easy to provide a defense, even when the malpractice is relatively clear. | | | A negative result in medical treatment in and of itself does not mean that the doctor committed malpractice. | | | The standard legal defenses of contributory negligence and assumption of risk are generally considered to be applicable in medical malpractice cases, although by the very nature of the superior knowledge of the health care professional over that of the patient, there are probably less instances where these defenses can be effectively utilized by lawyers. |
