Look here for all the known ones:

I see no reason at all why you couldn't add a new staff member, though I defer to Huinesoron - not because you're a PG, hS, but because you're more knowledgeable. ;p
Currently I'm busy writing my sample for when I eventually get around to applying for permission. However something cropped up as regards to a particular NPC I'd like to use, so I thought it'd be best to check with the experts.
Anyway, it's pretty simple; is Dr. Freedenberg the only Doctor in FicPsyche or would it be acceptable for there to be others? (although obviously lower in the pecking order).
Thanks to anybody that can give me a hand here.

Actually, FicPsych is kind of My Thing. Not that it's really obvious, but still. It seemed like a little-used corner of HQ that I could play in without anyone minding too much.
Anyway, as for other doctors (as opposed to nurses), I think the answer is no. It isn't that other people can't be just as skilled; it's a term of respect. He's been there the longest and may have actual formal training in psychology, as opposed to the people who just wander in and get drafted like all the other agents.
This is all open to discussion if other people think differently. I mostly quail at the thought of writing in other doctors because Freedenberg is sort of a PPC canon character, and I wouldn't want to seem to usurp him.
As a side note, anyone should feel free to use most of the FicPsych staff--it's just Jenni and Mirrad who belong to me. If you want them for some reason, please ask first. {= )

But as you said, it wasn't obvious. Will remember for next time. *rubs head*
I didn't mean anything head rub-inducing. I'm sorry if I came off sounding catty.

I suspect it got mistaken for *cosh*, possibly?
Now that you say it "cough" makes sense, but the misspelling/slang/whatever didn't. *shrug* But no worries.
It's not essential for the character to have the honorific. Being a nurse would suit just as well - assuming of course, you don't mind there being a new character in the department. Otherwise, well, I can always rework the sample, it's not a huge issue.
New characters are good. I meant to add that and forgot.
