Questions & Answers about Il dottore medesimo ha chiamato.
Why is medesimo placed after the noun dottore here?
Could I use stesso instead of medesimo in this sentence?
Does medesimo change its ending depending on who called?
Does using medesimo make the verb reflexive?
No, medesimo simply emphasizes the subject. The verb ha chiamato is just the active past tense meaning "he called" (for example, on the phone). If you wanted a true reflexive meaning like "he called himself", you would need the reflexive pronoun si, not an adjective.
