Some wag got out his Greek dictionary and figured out, oto = ear rhino = nose laryng = throat and we became otorhinolaryngologists.

I see dentists the same way I see ophtamologists, who are specialists in eyesight, or otorhinolaryngologists who specialize in throat, nose, and ears, and if specialization does not continue with those terrible aspirations -- we hope there will not be a time when there will be different specialists for nose, ears, and throat -- [laughter] but we see them as mouth specialists.
