    Where’s Dr. House?

      Right? This is an invalid graph without Dr. House.

      I hope OP doesn’t have lupus

        Jist figure House and McCoy occupy the same spot

        source
    • HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
      • SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Does the amount of vicodin he’s using put him higher or lower on the graph?

      • InverseParallax@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    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.

    source
    • eighty@lemmy.one ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Doctor House would be top left but partly because you wouldn’t need to run very far

      source
      • rustyricotta@lemmy.ml ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That depends on what drugs he’s on

      Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil have done far more harm than Dr. Pepper could ever aspire to.

      I would trust Hannibal Lector more than Oz, frankly.

      House is basically overlapping McCoy

      • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Astoundly, McCoy has a better bedside manner.

    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.

    source
    • Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      At some points he’s arguably the best diagnostician at Sacred Heard.

      source
    • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      He arrived late to thank his trashmen, ended up letting a patient die.

      source
      • TheRealKuni@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        He wasn’t to blame, though he easily could’ve been. That was death was the radiologist’s fault though, IIRC.

        source
    • Cypher@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
      • CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Dr. Strange should have more formal training for his surgery specialty. Did JD specialize or did he just stay in internal medicine?

  • Stern@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Dr. Zoidberg also has honorary degrees in murderology and murderonomy

      Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.

    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 ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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]

    Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?

      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 ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The meme references training, not physical ability. Strange should arguably be overlaid on Bones.

        I thought he willed himself back to full dexterity, but I also didn’t really pay attention to the movie, to be fair.

    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.

      Dr Phil is also no longer legally a doctor.

  • T156@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      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.

      source
    • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
  • NABDad@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    source
    • CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.
