Someone once told me that the word doctor means “teacher.”
Etymologically, they were right.
The word doctor comes from the Latin verb docēre — which means to teach.
When I earned this title, I didn’t take it as a badge of superiority. I took it as a responsibility.
Because if “doctor” means teacher… then the question becomes: What exactly are we teaching?
