A family gathering, a tradition of medicine, and a clash of titles. Our story revolves around a woman, let’s call her ‘Residency Rebel’ (31F), who’s on her way to becoming a certified physician. With a family lineage of doctors, she’s expected to carry the torch. But what happens when her cousins, ‘Chiropractor Charlie’ (32M) and ‘Nurse Nancy’ (26F), claim they too are doctors? Let’s dive into this medical melee.

The Verdict: Who’s the Real Doctor?
So there you have it, folks! A family gathering turned into a full-blown medical dispute. ‘Residency Rebel’ stood her ground, arguing that being a chiropractor or a nurse practitioner doesn’t equate to being a physician. ‘Chiropractor Charlie’ called her arrogant, while ‘Nurse Nancy’ argued that her profession is only devalued due to its historical association with women. Even grandpa chimed in, siding with our ‘Residency Rebel’. The drama ended with ‘Nurse Nancy’ un-inviting her cousin from her practice’s grand opening. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
