WTH is "cathopathic", the false perception that one is a physician? It should be "psychopathic" (if real).

Urban Dictionary: cathopathic physician

A pretend doctor. Usually a nurse practitioner with confidence issues, but wants to be a pretend he/she is a doctor. Will frequently pursue online degrees to get useless credentials instead of going to a real med school.
