Actually a gynaecologist is not a ‘doctor of women’ since not only women have that reproductive system, not to mention many women don’t have that reproductive system as well. They’re doctors of vulvas, vaginas, ovaries, cervixes and uteri etc.

I guess you could say they specialize in female reproductive organs or something
But this “guide” is just super simplified

Yeah, if they’re going to be biologically essentialist, the least they could do is get their terminology correct.

Otolaryngologists, also called otorhinolaryngologists, tend to ears (greek otos), nose (greek rhis) and throat (greek larynx).

In German:
- Frauenarzt
- Hautarzt
- Ohrenarzt (or the lovely abbreviation HNO)
