Meanings and usage

noun: doctor, especially a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine
郎中

The single teochew_sound reading covers several unrelated senses (palace-guard captain, doctor, companion, trickster); the 'doctor' sense (tagged dated/dialectal) was chosen as the best match for a dialectal Teochew reading, but this is not certain.
