Uh, but that song is called "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)", so there is NO doctor named Doctor in it. Also it was originally written and recorded by Moon Martin.And I actually did hear the Robert Plamer (RIP) version today in a restaurant.

The Reverend James A. Yakura, Minister of the Universal Life Church, hereby declares that the person calling himself Dr. Oz shall for his numerous, grievous, and unrepentant sins against Truth and Reason be henceforth anathema and excommunicate, and furthermore shall only be addressed by the faithful as "Mud, Purveyor of Substandard Verbal Nightsoils". To place him in his proper company, "Mudd" with two D's shall also be an acceptable spelling.

Maybe since there are so many huckster 'doctors' around these days they should get their own abbreviation.

Perhaps Hc. for huckster. Plus as it would sounf like 'hic', it would remind you that many of these tools are drunkards.

I'm worried they'll start carrying grand pianos around, although with them they'd have to be baby grands..

P.S.: It's only a syndicated show and not a network show - it doesn't work that way.
