Would you say 'women doctor' in this scenario?
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.
But what if you are in country where aristocracy doesn't exist?
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
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".
