    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

        Not just fully trained, but at the top of his field and possessing an MD and a PhD! He should be at the far right edge!

        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.

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

        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.

          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.

    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.

    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.

      Dr Strange being a professional surgeon and barely making it past the neutral mark on the qualification axis seems, well, a bit strange

        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

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

        “They used to hand-cut and sew people like garments. Needles and sutures.”
