As you probably know, in England, surgeons are not addressed as Dr but as Mr or Miss. Even when a female surgeon marries she reatains her maiden name and the title Miss.With the exception of one of the Queen Mother's orthopaedic surgeons Mr William Muirhead-Allwood who underwent a sex change and re-emerged as Miss Sarah Muirhead-Allwood.

Donut,
Can you explain why that is? Is it just customary...or is there some sort of reason for not referring to surgeons as "Dr."? Seems to me that is a little bizarre as surgeons are simply specialized doctors. I'm curious...
Thanks!
