Doctress 

A doctress is a female doctor. It is an old word that is no longer used because of the general movement in the English language to be gender-neutral in specifying professions. This is akin to actress vs. actor (although more women prefer actor now)
He went to Doctress Johnson after getting injured while plowing the west garden. Doctress Johnson's husband is also a doctor.

Doctorism 

The near-religious belief that the Doctor (Doctor Who) exists and does in fact save your life nearly every day. This belief arises from unexplained happy-coincidences, such as an unknown man catching a baby that fell 3 stories, or the oil from the 2009 spill disappearing. Subscribers to Doctorism are known as either Doctorites, Companions, or Neo-Whovians.
Doctorism at its best:
Ronny: "Hey, did you hear? That family that went missing a week ago turned up! No one knows how, and they don't really remember."

Joe: "It was the Doctor for sure! I knew he's real!"
