Definitions tagged medico in the street dictionary.
A slang term for a doctor. It is a product of vesre, an Argentine wordplay where syllables are reversed, turning dotor, a common mispronunciation of doctor, into tordo. (The term evokes an early 20th century trope about the social prestige of having a son become a professional).
I have to go see the tordo because all my joints are aching.
