Spanish term or phrase: médicos papas
Estoy traduciendo un curriculum de un médico venezolano. El término aparece en el título de un artículo. No dispongo de más contexto.

“Los papa médicos o los médicos papas”.

Supongo que "papas médicos" es "Popes who are Physicians". ¿Qué son "médicos papas"?

Un millón de gracias nuevamente

Physician Pontiffs and Pontificating Physicians
Explanation:
Really just a wild guess based on the assumption that the article in question concerns the responsibilities and dangers stemming from the authority invested in physicians within the wider society and that which they themselves internalize.
