When A Doctor or specialist misdiagnosis someone because they have either;
1). profiled the patient with a prejudice based on their physical appearance, usually after just meeting them;
or
2). they played the most likely odds on the patients symptoms without actually running any tests;
or
3). were simply just careless when filling in a form and autofill finished their spelling.
eg. typing Osteoporosis instead of Osteoarthritis.
The whisper happens when it gets put on the patients permanent record without their knowledge and every doctor who views it from there on in, starts with a bias against the patient and will always believe the offending doctor over the patient, simply because it was written by another doctor.
Specialist: "Your blood pressure is quite high."
Patient: I just have white coat syndrome. My readings at home are normal
Specialist writes down that the patient has severe anxiety.
Every doctor after that: "Your symptoms are all in your head. Here take a pill to help with that."
Patient: "No I don't want to take something that I don't need. That's dangerous."
Doctor writes down that the patient is delusional and catastrophises a lot.
Patient finally see's their own medical record and sobs, "For crying out loud. These Doctor's whispers will be the death of me".
When the nurse says "The doctor will be with you in a moment" and you end up waiting 10 or more minutes. Also known as a Doctor's Minute.
Nurse:"The doctor will be with you in a moment."
Ten minutes later
Patient: "Sure, a Doctor's Moment."
Medical charlatans whose skills and attitudes are typical of the practitioners found in military sickbays and working for the Veterans Health Administration. They pretend to be able to diagnose and heal like other doctors, but are generally unqualified, incompetent, and lazy. Sickbay doctors lack curiosity and are usually ignorant of the latest advances in medicine. Most are simply inept, but others may use techniques, substances, or devices for the prevention and treatment of disease that are known to be ineffective and possibly dangerous.
I went to my local VA Clinic because I was suffering from severe cramps, a fever, and dizziness. Unfortunately, they sent me to one of their sickbay doctors who told me to take an antacid, and go home to rest. I later found out in the Emergency Room of my local hospital that my appendix had ruptured.
A special honorary graduate degree that is often conveyed by a beleaguered and long-suffering spouse who may be seeking public acknowledgment of their longstanding situation of having lived with a prolific and noxious farter.
She may have been attempting to gain some degree of collective sympathy and support by unabashedly conveying that Doctor of Fartology degree to her very surprised husband at his retirement party.
Someone who is proficient in administering The Shocker.
The Shock Doctor payed me a little visit last night! wasn't expecting that shit but "feels good man".

Leyton says his chainster is a "24 carrot original" but i says he should check out the Diamond Doctor on that one.
A doctoral thesis resulting from fraud (typically plagiarism or ghostwriting) as opposed to one based on genuine scholarship. Smells foul only after being exposed but then sticks to the author for life. Exposure usually leads to the revoking of the doctoral degree.
A Piece of ScHmITt (see related entry) constitutes a subtype with a high potential to attract media exposure, although it accounts for only a small portion of all doctoral feces produced.
Not long after our professors started using plagiarism detector software retroactively, they realized doctoral feces are piling up in our faculty library.
