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 Appleseed|Johnny]] (also informal), Johnny Cakes (very informal), or Mr. Doe (formal).<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2017/03/john-doe/ Breaking: Turns Out the Patient’s Name Really is John Doe]</ref>
