the Doctor
One who heals
The Doctor is the central character of the British science fiction series *Doctor Who*—a time-traveling alien from the planet Gallifrey who regenerates into new forms rather than dying.
The title functions as a name: Have you met the Doctor?
The character's true name remains unknown, making "the Doctor" both title and identity.
In casual use, the Doctor may refer to whichever actor currently plays the role: Who's the Doctor now?
