No Dr. House?
And Oz should be right on top of the Run For Your Life because he’s not fictional and should know better.
Should you trust that doctor?

Doctor House would be top left but partly because you wouldn’t need to run very far
rustyricotta@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
That depends on what drugs he’s on

TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil have done far more harm than Dr. Pepper could ever aspire to.
UtMan1988@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I would trust Hannibal Lector more than Oz, frankly.
Railing5132@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
At least Lecter is honest about who he is!
blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
House is basically overlapping McCoy
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Astoundly, McCoy has a better bedside manner.
BambiDiego@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
How in the heckin’ is JD below a dwarf, a mad scientist tinkerer, and a random catchy band?
He is a caring, trained, and competent doctor who will put his pride and personal life aside to help a patient.
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 weeks ago
At some points he’s arguably the best diagnostician at Sacred Heard.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
He arrived late to thank his trashmen, ended up letting a patient die.
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
He wasn’t to blame, though he easily could’ve been. That was death was the radiologist’s fault though, IIRC.
Cypher@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Given the same medical technology I would place JD the highest and furthest right.
Not just because I like the character but because he truly does give a shit about his patients.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Dr. Strange should have more formal training for his surgery specialty. Did JD specialize or did he just stay in internal medicine?
unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Dr. Evil didn’t spend 6 years in evil fricking medical school to be put in no professional training

Where tf is dr house
DonGirses@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
This vexes me.
Sho@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Seriously…him and Dr. Strange alone would all but garuentee your safety.
Sylvartas@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It’s also inexplicably missing the coolest one (Dr Victor von Doom)
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Off the top right.

How are Oz and Phil so high on this spectrum?
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
They haven’t eaten human liver or tried pan frying a piece of someone’s brain … but they’re still a couple of idiots that shouldn’t be trusted for medical advice
ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
They may not be cannibals, but I wouldn’t put it past them to have devoured a number of souls…
Stern@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
For reference on the no training side:
Dr. Dre and Dr. Venture: Both possess honorary doctorates. The former from UCLA, the latter from a Tijuana community college.
Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.
Dr. Evil: Evil medical school.
Zoidberg: Claims he lost it in a volcano, more likely a art history degree.
Dr. Horrible: Likely physics though he claims Horribleness (though it could be a catchphrase.)
Dr. Seuss: Intended to get a Doctorate of Philosophy, got an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters.
The Doctor: Per This - While pretending to be the Doctor in an effort to save herself from an army of Cybermen, one of the planet’s deadliest enemies, in Death in Heaven, Clara said: ‘I don’t even really have a doctorate. Well Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century.’I feel like a fair amount of those on the trained side aren’t medical doctors (Phil, Ock, Robotnik, Lector, Honeydew) or at the very least, aren’t folks you’d want around for your heart attack.
poweruser@lemmy.sdf.org 4 weeks ago
Dr. Zoidberg also has honorary degrees in murderology and murderonomy
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_T._Pepper#/media/Fi…
“Dr Pepper the King of beverages”
jeez, way to gild the lilly.
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Dr Oz and Dr Phil are not doctors and should be to the left and south of Dr Pepper. Neither has a license and both are so full of shit their advice has probably killed people.
chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
Oz is a Doctor, and was a very good one who got corrupted in his aim for fame and fortune. Part of his tragedy is that if he’d shut up and just do his actual doctor work only he’d be a benefit to society, not the detriment he is now. It’s important to know that he’s worse because he had actual skill as a heart surgeon. Quoting wiki:
In 1982, he received his undergraduate degree in biology magna cum laude[3] at Harvard University.[31] … In 1986, he obtained MD and MBA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine[30] and Penn’s Wharton School.[34][35]
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
After hearing the pure stupidity that comes out of his mouth I wouldn’t let that fruitcake supplement salesman near me.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
yes, but his hands broke in an accident. Not sure how good he is with his hands on medical equipment/psychically controlling medical tols
dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 4 weeks ago
The meme references training, not physical ability. Strange should arguably be overlaid on Bones.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I thought he willed himself back to full dexterity, but I also didn’t really pay attention to the movie, to be fair.
omega_x3@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
There is no way Dr. Mario has any training. He just throws random pills at the problems hoping that they line up and do something other than cause an overdose.
mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
Bruh… that’s literally what doctoring is now. Got the hurt? Pain pills. Got the sad? SSRIs. Got two, three, four sets of titties? Ozempic!
JayJLeas@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Dr Phil is also no longer legally a doctor.
T156@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Dr. Zoidberg is a fully-qualified medical doctor, though, and a good one at that. Just not for humans. Even so, he’s quite good, given that he hasn’t killed any of his human patients, though they may come out a little different.
As is Doctor Who, who has high qualifications in literally everything. It took them a few goes, but they got there in the end.
RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
“I’ve probably lost more patients than he’s ever treated.”
meep_launcher@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
That said, how much do you trust your life with Dr. Who? I’ve seen many characters die while trusting him, and that’s just the ones on screen.
I’m not saying he is a bad doctor, but he was caught on film losing several sidekicks/ allies. If you’re caught on film doing something, you probably do it a lot.
If you get caught doing crack on the news, you are a crackhead. It’s not like a “oh this was just the one time” situation. You do it enough you get caught on the news doing it.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Didn’t Zoidberg once successfully attach Fry’s head to Amy’s body (or something like that)? Not sure any of the others on that chart have done something that impressive.
NABDad@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Having The Doctor at the top is a little strange, because hanging with the doctor could very well mean your death, but it will be worth it.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
And does he actually have no formal training? You’d think at some stretch of his life he actually became accredited somewhere. Possible on multiple planets.
The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s a tad out of date, but the Second Doctor claims he received a medical degree after studying under Joseph Lister in 1888.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Dr. Robotnik is more trustworthy than Phil tbh.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Zoidberg should be lower.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I would trust J.D. with my life way over Dr. Seuss.
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Top right corner, there’s a Collage Humor watermark.
It explains why this is so inaccurate
FuryMaker@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I feel like Zoidberg should be a lot lower.

NPH making the list TWICE!? Truly we live in the best timeline.
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The more anyone looks at this, the worse it gets.
Someone needs to fix this. But not me, I don’t have my doctorate in memeology yet.
ViperActual@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I’d gladly trust drinking a Dr pepper over anything to do with Dr Phil or Dr oz
phx@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Trying to figure out where Dr Doom would fit. Supposedly he does have a doctorate but it came from Latveria so could be a bit… biased
Chekhovs_Gun@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You’ve got Doc Ock but no Doc Doom?
Mango@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You should probably switch Zoidberg with Dr. Pepper.
leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 4 weeks ago
The Doctor is only on “TRUST WITH YOUR LIFE” as long as you aren’t messing with (or have ever attempted to mess with) humans or other people they care about… otherwise they’re on “RUN, RUN VERY FAR”.
waterore@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Where’s Dr. Hunter S.Thompson? Where’s Dr. Nick?
yemmly@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Ah, the late, great Hannibal Lecter.
I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 4 weeks ago
Zoidberg has an MD, should at least be right of center.
Subverb@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I’m just happy to see someone remembers the Spin Doctors.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
I should trust Zoidberg more than Dr. Phil?

Where’s Dr. House?
cm0002@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Right? This is an invalid graph without Dr. House.
I hope OP doesn’t have lupus
troyunrau@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
It’s never lupus
blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Jist figure House and McCoy occupy the same spot
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
Somewhere between top-right and top-middle depending on how revoked his license is at the given moment and how much vicodin he is on.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Does the amount of vicodin he’s using put him higher or lower on the graph?
superkret@feddit.org 4 weeks ago
Top right, about 20 feet outside the graph.
EleventhHour@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
And Doc Cottle
InverseParallax@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I cannot believe he survived the whole series, seems like someone who should have died near the end of s3 just to add to the atmosphere of desperation.
darthsid@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Came here for this haha
