you don't "Doctor" people to health, you "nurse" them to health

or you nurture

but you don't doctor peopel to health

You can doctor anything

footage

results

“Treat (someone) medically”

evidence

your doctor license

its not just this one context

its a well established word

I doctor myself, doctor

“Change the content or appearance of (a document or picture) in order to deceive; falsify.”

Notice how that definition never includes “edit” because EDIT IS THE WORD TO DESCRIBE IT

its not

“AP says Acosta video was edited”

It doesn’t change the meaning

So why would you use doctored?

its in the definition you linked

* in order to deceive; falsify.*

preference 😉 I don't see any problem with it.

Edit

You can edit things for many reasons

every minute of footage you see is most likely edited

but not doctored

tim's show is edited

its not doctored

He doctors when we make fun of him

What a stupid question that is

that's my new response

Was the photo of Emma Gonzalez tearing the constitution edited or doctored?

i'm not familiar with this

That wasn't 'doctored', that was a meme.

oh, so it was photoshopped 😉

Did it mislead her intentions? Was it to prove a point that she didn’t like the 2nd amendment?

That sounds like satire to me

I think it represented her attitude toward 2A, yeah.

it would be doctored if you were using to as evidence that she literally ripped a constitiution in half

So i'd refer to it as edited

or as @aukkras said, photoshopped
