Which Witch Doctor Doctored the Witch, Doctor?

Her hands trembled as she took the reigns, knowing what it meant to leave. She tapped Lancelot with her heel and he left the open door of the stable. She covered her bald head with the child’s blanket and…

set off into the open field. The cool yet chilly breeze gently whipped across her young, pale face as the majestic animal trotted about. However, she had no control of her hands. She tried to keep a firm grip on those reigns. Lancelot was just a few trots away from the fence when

he came to an abrupt stop, bowing his head low. At first, she thought perhaps he was listening for something, so she listened along. That was when she noticed the chewing sounds and realized he had just found some tasty clovers. “Lancelot, we can’t get distracted!” She nudged him

and her hands trembled again. “It’s nothing,” she told Lancelot. She didn’t want to worry him but her own concerns were growing too. Perhaps it was time to get help for her condition. She would have to call the

witch doctor. The witch doctor would know what to do, at least she hoped. The treatments he provided were unusual to say the least. Lancelot and she agreed the witch doctor would be the most practical way to go. Otherwise, her condition could turn grave.

It didn't take them long to find the doctor's house. Everyone knew where the skull-decorated path was, after all. It was the time that was the challenge. The witch doctor didn't like people coming when he was asleep, and whenever he was eating who knows what. So they had to go at

precisely the right time. Not too early, the gleam in the skulls’ eyes still merely the burning embers of fires long forgot, nor too late, the flames bright, reaching out to lick unwary visitors. It would be tricky. But when your witch needed a doctor, you did what you had to do.

The big question now was: Was my witch just a witch or a witch doctor, and which doctor did my witch or witch doctor need? A doctor witch, a witch doctor or a witch doctor that specialised in witch doctors? I.e. either a witch doctor witch doctor, or a witch witch doctor doctor?.
