A doctor can be a medical professional who treats people who are ill or injured.
The idea
Use a doctor for one and doctors for several. Say see a doctor for a medical visit, or an appointment with a doctor for a scheduled meeting.
Examples
- My doctor works near the station.
- She has an appointment with a doctor.
- Two doctors work at this clinic.
- I need to see the doctor.
- The doctor explains the treatment.
- Please tell the doctor about your symptoms.
