ιατρός
Explanation:
http://dictionaries.travlang.com/LatinEnglish/dict.cgi?query...

Ιt is a Latin word. We quite often use Latin words as nicknames, in a highly humoristic attitude, to tease people. It would be a pompous way to emphasize any distinguishing element of theirs.


/ia'tros/ for medicus instead of /yia'tros/, which would be the modern Greek word.
