I think the term is applicable. How many nurses and PA's have you seen? They are part of "the team" too, but not doctors. You could say "well, then my healthcare providers".

The hospital I chose for my surgery could easily be defined as "a team". At the top of the list was my urologist, his staff of nurses and PA's, the orders to the MRI folks, the CAT scan folks, the blood folks, the social workers, the oncologists, the orderlies, the volunteer who checked me in for my surgery. Then in the hospital I went through a number of shift changes and new staff of varying types that helped me.

They all worked together. I don't know how else I would define them other than team.

But then "my team" extends beyond the hospital. I have my wife, my personal trainer, my pelvic floor therapist, my friends and my family. Some were cheerleaders, some had important roles in my recovery and outcome, others were supportive during the process. Adding to that would be the people I've met here and on other forums that became part of my team of support or information.

My team.

I'm not arguing your interpretation of the term, simply offering my own 😉.
