    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.

      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?

    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.

    I should trust Zoidberg more than Dr. Phil?

      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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

      Dr. Strange had his injury in 1963, he probably went through medical school in the 1950’s and has been studying magic, not medicine ever since. His techniques and knowledge are extremely out of date.

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

      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.

      Probably the same reason Zoidberg is considered to be on the same level of medical competence as Dr. Dre (Zoidberg literally doesn’t know human anatomy), and a higher one than Dr. Pepper (Which is genuinely responsible for less death than Zoidberg is), and Dr. Evil (Went to Evil Medical School)

      And even then all of these people are probably better doctors than Doc, the dwarf who lived back in the days when washing your hands was considered a “Rookie mistake no self-respecting gentleman in the medical profession would ever make”

      And the Medical Profession consisted of people wearing scary crow masks who just spread disease around and kill people, fully believing that disease was caused by not saying “Bless you” when someone sneezes
