    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.

      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.

    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.

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

      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?

          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.

          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.

    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.

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

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

          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.

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

    Dwarf Doc isn’t a medical doctor, that’s just his nickname. He’s a drug connection.

      One…two princes kneel before you.

      One has diamonds in his pockets and never lies. The other wants to buy you rockets and never tells the truth.

      What is the one question you could ask of only one of the princes to learn what a prince and lover ought to be so that your father won’t eat his hat and disown you?
