Buddy,You just got something wrong. Doctor could be said as Yi Sheng（医生） very commonly in both Mandarin and Cantonese. Also, some people who speak Mandarin call doctor as Dai Fu（大夫), but not Da Fu（大夫）. Althougth they have the same character of Chinese, the pronunciations have a little bit differences. So if you call someone Da Fu(大夫), that means whom you are calling is an omnipotent bureaucrat in ancient.
