medico
Doctor, casually speaking
Medico is informal or humorous for a doctor or medical practitioner: The medico said I should stay off my feet for a week.
The word has a slightly old-fashioned or jocular ring, sometimes suggesting a country doctor or one encountered in casual circumstances rather than a formal clinical setting.
