I’m an American and work in healthcare. “PCP” is a common way to abbreviate “primary care physician”. Generally, it is not said out loud that way, but it is often abbreviated in forms and documentation.
And yes, I giggle when I see it because I’m immature!
I’ve at least seen/read phrases “Primary Care” and “Primary Care Physician”, but I’ve never once heard of anyone using the acronym “PCP” for it. Not until this ccomment thread.
Asked a couple other people just now, they’d never heard it used either.
Primary Care Physician (or Provider) is, indeed, what I think the original comment intended; however, no matter how many times I’ve been to the ER (or A&E if you’re from a more civilized country), that’s not how my brain initially interprets it.
I think he means Personal Chair Person, y’know, to get sitting recommendations

Primary Care Physician
A fucking doctor then? Some folk watch waaaaaay too much TV
I think it’s American for GP but I might be wrong
Not something ive ever heard an American say.
GP, physician, doctor. Never “PCP”.

PCP is an incredibly common term in the US.
Maybe it’s regional or something.

A dentist is a doctor but they aren’t going to be too helpful lmao
Any adult American with health insurance should know what a PCP means in this context. This is not obscure or weird verbiage lol.
A masseuse is a personal care provider, and probably useful in this situation.
It’s a fucking stupid and unnecessary initialism, let’s be honest
