    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.

    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.

    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?

          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.

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

    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.

      Yeah Phil goes down and to the left. I’d say oz goes down a little bit too, but I’m glad the maker of this meme still put those guys in the right section.

    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.

      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.

    I would trust J.D. with my life way over Dr. Seuss.

    J.D. is a fool, but he’s also a really good doctor.

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

    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.

    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.
