DISLIKE THE TITLE DOC"

Physicians Condemn the Authorization
as Being Deficient in Dignity.
THE st. Louis physicians who are
making a crusade on the abbreviation
Doe now in such common use, are
doing n good thing" said an old physi-
clan, land | hope the thing will spread
to other sections of the country. Doc,
for doctor, has been in use good
long time and has enjoyed a good run
in the popular estimate. 1t is much
easier to say doc than DOCTOR and
suppose in this age, when time counts
for so much, the difference in the time
required to roll the two expressions
from the tongue amounts to something
though | am not advised tnat the ST.
Louis physicians have objected to the
use of doc OH the ground of the time
wasted in saying doctor
The main objection seems to be on
the idea that doc is lacking in digni-
ty. Doctor is more dignfed than
doc from the standpoint of the pro-
fessional man Besides, doctor is the
correct word. Why should men call a
doctor 'docy We might as we'll speak
of the professor as prof or say
pres for president, sec for 'secre-
tary,' and so on in an indefinite num-
Der of other instances Physicians do
not like to be addressed as doc They
have objected to the word from the
very beginning of its use, and they will
continue to object to it as long as it's
use is continued.
THE crusade begun in st. Louis
against doc is a good one, and it
ought to spread to every section of
the country where physicians exist.
We are doctors if anything and the
term 'doc'"is not only misft, but it
is offensive. | sincerely hope its use
will soon be discontinued.
