Dr. Evil didn't spend 6 years in evil fricking medical school to be put in no professional training

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

Ah, the late, great Hannibal Lecter.

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

That depends on what drugs he's on

Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil have done far more harm than Dr. Pepper could ever aspire to.

Trying to figure out where Dr Doom would fit. Supposedly he does have a doctorate but it came from Latveria so could be a bit... biased

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

DOOM has no need for your silly meme graphs!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

No Doc Holliday?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Bruh… that’s literally what doctoring is now. Got the hurt? Pain pills. Got the sad? SSRIs. Got two, three, four sets of titties? Ozempic!

Wait, Robotnik has a medical degree?!

[–] vaultdweller013 3 points 10 hours ago

No he has a doctorate in mechanical engineering and a masters in cloning. I dont know if this is true but it fits.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (8 children)

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.

At some points he's arguably the best diagnostician at Sacred Heard.

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

And does he actually have no formal training? You’d think at some stretch of his life he actually became accredited somewhere. Possible on multiple planets.

I would put him the same level as an abusive husband he will probably protect you with his life but you will suffer every moment you are with him and he will eventually be the cause of your death.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes but your death will also result in The Doctor saving a highly populated and benevolent spaceship/city/country/civilisation/planet/solar system/multi system commonwealth/galactic empire/inter galactic multi reality or indeed the whole Universe both multiversal and singular.

Or your death will result in The Doctor defeating a malevolent spaceship/city/country/civilisation/planet/solar system/multi system commonwealth/galactic empire/inter galactic multi reality or indeed the whole Universe both multiversal and singular.

So worth it really.

Right? This is an invalid graph without Dr. House.

I hope OP doesn't have lupus

Somewhere between top-right and top-middle depending on how revoked his license is at the given moment and how much vicodin he is on.

Top right, about 20 feet outside the graph.

Dr. Who and Dr. Strange both have a shitload of training...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, Dr. Strange was literally one of the world's best surgeons, right?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, and Time Lords in general probably had several medical degrees worth of education.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I vaguely remember from my Dr. Who phase one of the doctors confirming he did get an Earth M.D. at some point

Dr. Robotnik is more trustworthy than Phil tbh, but I suppose context matters.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

He'll amputate your limbs but replace them with fairly functional robot parts?

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.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 20 hours ago

I trust Doctor Pepper more than Phil.

[–] where_am_i 1 points 9 hours ago

Approximately the phrase with which JD starts the Scrubs.

Nonsense! Zoidberg's a fine physician. For Aliens. Your mistake is being human!

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.

Dr. Strange is a fully trained surgeon. He should be farther to the right!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

But he also refused a lot of patients because he really only wanted "sure things" and not something that might damage his reputation.

Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?

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
