A Pilot Is Grounded. A Lawyer Is Disbarred. A Doctor Is:

Or strung up.

Bed makers are debunked.
Car makers are detroit.

Shoe salesmen are dissuaded.

I also wanted to add these, but ran out of time:

Party-supply dealers are treated with disfavor.
Party officials are disappointed.
Laxative compounders are diseased.
Coroners are disembodied.
Bookkeepers are disfigured.
Grand Canyon docents are disgorged.
Prince Rainier’s ladies-in-waiting were disgraced.
Bankers are disinterested.
Marijuana pushers are disjointed.
Archie Andrews is constantly dislodged.
In 1968 The Yankees were dismantled.
Restaurant servers are disordered.
Union staffers are disorganized.
British mint personnel are dispensed.
Stage actors are displayed.
Iberian wine dealers are disported.
Portrait photographers are disposed.
Cryptographers are dissolved.
Shepherds are distaffed.
Hairstylists are distressed.

For doctors, it really depends on the specialty.

Obstetricians are pushed out, but gastroenterologists are evacuated.
Urologists are sacked, yet gynaecologists are given the pink slip.
Infection specialists are discharged, while podologists are handed their marching orders.
Oncologists are downsized and M.E.s are terminated.
Orthopedists are cast out, dentists are rooted out.

GPs, for their part, are underpaid and overworked. :slight_smile:

“Daven” comes from “divine.” It’s also transitive-- you can “daven ma’ariv,” for example, but it can properly be used intransitively: “I daven in the morning.”

Sommeliers are decanted

A pastry chef gets his just desserts.

A carter gets his wagon fixed.

A train engineer gets derailed.

A Windows user gets a Blue Screen of Death.

A Doper gets straightened out.

Guitar players fret.

Electicrians trip.

Cardiologists are disheartened.

It’s taking longer than we thought

Electricians are grounded.
Bankers are withdrawn.
Astronauts are spaced out.

News item: The President of the American Society of Gruntliers got disgruntled.

Linguists are destressed.

Babysitters are just kidded.

Sometimes it’s worse still: the WHITE screen.

This reminds me of the best New York Post headline I ever saw. It was on a short inside story. I saw it over some guy’s shoulder on the subway and could never find the article again, but the headline tells the whole story:

Naked Priest Defrocked

The Society for the Preservation of Tithesis commends your ebriated and scrutable use of delible and defatigable tithesis, which are gainly, sipid and couth. We are gruntled and consolate that you have the ertia and eptititue to choose such putably pensible tithesis, which we parage.

Is there an online (read: instant and free) way to determine the status of a doctor in Texas? He’s and MD if that matters (as opposed to a DO, or other types of doctors).
