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