How to use doctor in a sentence?

  1. Miami Herald:

    I have no qualms about being a’ sports guy’ moonlighting as a Covid-19 analyst. Fact is, I’m not an’ expert.’ I’m not a doctor, epidemiologist, virologist or scientist. I also don’t need to be. Experts don’t have all the answers, and we’ve learned that the hard way throughout the entire duration of the global pandemic.

  2. Masood Solangi:

    The doctor has been made into a scapegoat for the larger crisis in the region, my opinion is that the work he has done has been done according to law. The case against him can not be proved.

  3. Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott:

    On Monday, I met with Vice President in Miami, and while I do not believe I interacted with the infected person, that individual was in the same room as me, after consulting with the Senate’s attending physician and my personal doctor, I have been told that my risk is low, and I don’t need to take a test or quarantine. However, the health and safety of the American people is my focus and I have made the decision to self-quarantine in an abundance of caution.

  4. Jenny Radesky:

    We found that most of kids’ data were being collected from apps that called themselves’ general audience apps,’ even though they had names like’ Children’s Doctor Dentist,’ lack of enforcement of COPPA has meant that these apps can claim they are not for kids, and therefore continue to collect data.
