Excuse me! Dr Pepper should be an absolute top left corner candidate.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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

Seriously....him and Dr. Strange alone would all but garuentee your safety.

[–] DonGirses@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

This vexes me.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

Off the top right.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I'm curious what the rankings of all the star trek doctors would be.

Like for competence, would Flox (sp?) or EMH top the list?

Or for charisma, would it be Flox or Bashir?

For not taking shit EMH or Bones?

Closest with the captain, Bones or Crusher?

Most victim of the writers, Pulaski or Fitzgerald? (First one at least got a season but the second one didn't even get an actor)

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.

That said, how much do you trust your life with Dr. Who? I've seen many characters die while trusting him, and that's just the ones on screen.

I'm not saying he is a bad doctor, but he was caught on film losing several sidekicks/ allies. If you're caught on film doing something, you probably do it a lot.

"If you get caught doing crack on the news, you are a crackhead. It's not like a "oh this was just the one time" situation. You do it enough you get caught on the news doing it." -Josh Johnson

Edit: just looked for an answer of what the mortality rate is for the Doctor and it's 42% according to a reddit question. At some point the authorities would be called in because 42% is more than just a "licence revoked" number.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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've probably lost more patients than he's ever treated."

Phil and Venture at the same level of trust is rough but true.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 24 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ViperActual@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I'd gladly trust drinking a Dr pepper over anything to do with Dr Phil or Dr oz

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I don't even like Dr Pepper and I'd rather drink a six pack than watch either of those assholes.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

THANK YOU. Why is Dr. Pepper the absolute lowest you can go on this chart, lower than Dr. Evil lol

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

"Dr." Bubs is in Quadrant III. He's the most quackinest.

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm just happy to see someone remembers the Spin Doctors.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

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?

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago

Top right corner, there's a Collage Humor watermark.

It explains why this is so inaccurate

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Depends on which season. Are you extrapolating current JD? Or can we pick season 1 JD, where he has a lot of knowledge, but very little experience, and wasn't a very good doctor yet?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

SO'S YOUR FACE!

Of course not! He's Vanilla Bear to Turk's Chocolate Bear!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I should trust Zoidberg more than Dr. Phil?

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Technically zoidberg should be further right on the training axis than everyone else on it combined, He's literally the best doctor in the universe for every single species other than humans.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Yes even though Zoidberg is a fictional doctor he is ten times the doctor as that quack phil.

[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 26 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Doctor Evil didn't go to Evil Medical School for six years to be put in the section with no training, thank you very much!

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 25 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Why is Doctor Strange to the left of JD from Scrubs? Isn't he a world renown surgeon or something? Does that count for less because he hasn't had medical practice lately?

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Not to mention less formal training than Dr. Quinn? At least he’s studied modern medicine and has specialty years after surgery residency.

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'll be honest, I don't recognize that character. What are they from?

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

From the show Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Quinn,_Medicine_Woman ran 1993-1998.

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 18 hours ago

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.

  1. Dr. Phil has training that's a shock?
  2. Bro I'd trust Dr. Pepper more than a lot of people on this list
[–] FuryMaker@lemmy.world 18 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

I feel like Zoidberg should be a lot lower.

You're missing Dr. Zhivago, Dr. Kevorkian and Dr. Shipman.
