John Doe
,no edit summary
In medicine, it is a common misconception that '''John Doe''' is used as a placeholder for a male patient whose identity is unknown. However, it should be clear that any patient named '''John Doe''' is in fact named '''John Doe''' and actually goes by John (informal) , Johnny (also informal), Johnny Cakes (very informal), or Mr. Doe (formal).
