Nope again. That means "There exists an X such that X is a doctor and I
need X, and for every Y that meets those conditions, Y is identical with X."
So there are two ways to falsify this: one is if you reject every doctor,
the other is if you accept two or more distinct doctors.
But it still doesn't mean "I need any doctor".

Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration
is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was
under the common law in the American colonies; so it was through more than
two centuries of jurisprudence in this country; and so it is today.
