    Wait, Robotnik has a medical degree?!

    source
    • AlolanYoda@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      He has a PhD in Women’s Studies.

    • chiliedogg@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The scale goes from “No professional training” to “Doctorate in Medicine.”

      So to be on the far right you need to be an MD, but having a different doctorate will still be above “no professional training”

      It’s a weird scale.

      Also, it’s wrong. Dr Horrible has a PhD in Horribleness.

        Dr. Evil should be much further to the right.

        He did not spend 8 years at Evil Medical School to get called Mr.

        source
    • vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No he has a doctorate in mechanical engineering and a masters in cloning. I dont know if this is true but it fits.

    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

    Dr. Evil didn’t spend 6 years in evil fricking medical school to be put in no professional training

    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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

      source
      • The_Decryptor@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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        It’s a tad out of date, but the Second Doctor claims he received a medical degree after studying under Joseph Lister in 1888.

      I would put him the same level as an abusive husband he will probably protect you with his life but you will suffer every moment you are with him and he will eventually be the cause of your death.

      source
      • Minarble@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yes but your death will also result in The Doctor saving a highly populated and benevolent spaceship/city/country/civilisation/planet/solar system/multi system commonwealth/galactic empire/inter galactic multi reality or indeed the whole Universe both multiversal and singular.

        Or your death will result in The Doctor defeating a malevolent spaceship/city/country/civilisation/planet/solar system/multi system commonwealth/galactic empire/inter galactic multi reality or indeed the whole Universe both multiversal and singular.

        So worth it really.

    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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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!

    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.

    • UtMan1988@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I would trust Hannibal Lector more than Oz, frankly.

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

    I trust JD, Howser, and Strange.

    Those guys are actually medical doctors.

    If you’re not a medical doctor, not a real doctor.

    Oh wait…Dr. Oz, I don’t trust him.

    source
    • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Oh wait…Dr. Oz, I don’t trust him.

      He let his license lapse several years ago, though, and the last decade or so before that, he didn’t even practice. He just went on TV to hawk snake oil and designed equipment.

    Dr. Robotnik is more trustworthy than Phil tbh.

    source
    • phx@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      He’ll amputate your limbs but replace them with fairly functional robot parts?

      source
    • blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Phil is less likely to outright kill you himself.

      source
      • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        No but he would try to scam and gaslight me or exploit me in some other manner. If the setting is a regular checkup I’ll trust Robotnik more.

    Zoidberg should be lower.

      I love how he’s the only one not called Dr. On this chart.

      He has a doctorate in art, I believe

      He’s got future technology, though.

    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.

      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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

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

      • TheRealKuni@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

      yes, but his hands broke in an accident. Not sure how good he is with his hands on medical equipment/psychically controlling medical tols

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

    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.
