  Internal medicine, and then eventually started teaching medical school classes too. Yes, I did watch the shitty Scrubs final season reboot.

    So Dr. Strange is trained in neurosurgery, which is a 7 year residency compared to 3-4 years for internal medicine. He may have also done a neurosurgery fellowship for 2 years.

      He definitely should be higher than J.D. if we’re going just by special issues. I would rather have him overseeing my brain surgery than J.D.

      But if I was in the hospital for a more common ailment, I’ll take an expert in internal medicine over a neurosurgeon.

      In fact, if I was in the hospital for, for example, getting poisoned by something and no one can figure out what, I’d pick an expert in internal medicine over a neurosurgeon.

        JD should definitely be higher than Strange on the Y axis. He cares way more for his patients.

  Dr. Strange, if he’s practicing medicine, might decide not to try and save you because it would hurt his stats.

  JD would try.

  I honestly can’t recall if JD specialised.

    But that’s the Y axis. Training is on the X. As a neurosurgeon, he’s had at least 2 more years of training than JD, possibly a lot more.

      I don’t know if Dr. Strange would technically be lower because he hasn’t been practicing for a long time? But I see what you mean.
