    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.

    6 years of evil medical school doesn’t qualify as professional credentials? Also I’d put Dr. Phil below most of these guys, although maybe slightly above Hannibal Lector still.

    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.

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

            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.

          Dr. Strange, if he’s practicing medicine, might decide not to try and save you (he was a neurosurgeon IiRC) 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.

    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.’
    Doc: Does become a doctor at Storybrooke hospital in a live action show, “Once Upon a Time”, apparently not a surgeon though.
    Spin Doctors: No doctors.

    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.

        I’d put Strange ahead of McCoy. What is McCoy going to do without his Tricorder? He’d rant,

        I agree he should be a little farther right, but his origin story is all about how his injury specifically prevented him from doing surgery anymore. Plus some iterations of him with the time stone might not have thought about medicine in hundreds of years. His magic also seems to not be healing focused. So I kinda get why he is under qualified comparatively

          He learned to magic because he thought it would let him fix his hands. Instead he learned the guy who he thought fixed his legs with magic just uses magic to control his non-functional legs.

          So he probably could do surgery but he’d probably magically control the needle instead of holding it or something. Maybe.

    Some unsolicited comments on this:

    • I would absolutely trade Dr. Bunsen Honeydew with Dr. Mario.
    • The Dr. Pepper position is just pure slander.
    • Dr. Horrible and Doogie Howser, MD is the true duality of humanity.
    • Zoidberg is suspiciously much higher along the Y-axis than I would personally prefer.
    • Dr. Dre, like I would forget, is absolutely a quadrant II candidate. There’s just no way I’d put Spin Doctors high along the Y-axis than Dre.

        Also… I think he brought some mother fuckers back from the dead. And he helped reverse the snap.

        That sounds like he’s probably got a solid defense against any complaints made to the state board.

      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]

      Edit: also, as far as I can tell, still performing heart surgeries, so should still be licensed. Still a piece of shit who should stick to surgeries. Lots of people good at 1 thing think they’re geniuses at everything.

      If I had to guess it’s because JD is more of a general physician. Strange was a neurosurgeon before the accident that crippled his hands and led him to study the Mystic Arts. So not only can he not perform surgery anymore without magic but if he was working on you, then you were pretty much in life or death territory anyway.

      Dr. Strange had his injury in 1963, he probably went through medical school in the 1950’s and has been studying magic, not medicine ever since. His techniques and knowledge are extremely out of date.

      Probably the same reason Zoidberg is considered to be on the same level of medical competence as Dr. Dre (Zoidberg literally doesn’t know human anatomy), and a higher one than Dr. Pepper (Which is genuinely responsible for less death than Zoidberg is), and Dr. Evil (Went to Evil Medical School)

      And even then all of these people are probably better doctors than Doc, the dwarf who lived back in the days when washing your hands was considered a “Rookie mistake no self-respecting gentleman in the medical profession would ever make”

      And the Medical Profession consisted of people wearing scary crow masks who just spread disease around and kill people, fully believing that disease was caused by not saying “Bless you” when someone sneezes
