To comment on Denise's cultural trivia:
(Aside: am I right in my thinking that here in Aus a physician is the term
used to describe a doctor who specialises in medical problems, as
opposed to a surgeon or an obstetrician).
Here in South Africa, a doctor is a "doctor". Most people see a GP (General
Practitioner) and refer to him/her as "my doctor" or "my GP". A "physician"
is a doctor whose specialisation is medical issues. A few years ago few
only sick babies/children were seen by paediatricians. Now all
babies/children seem to see "their" paediatrician from birth.
