When did the cat in the hat become his creator?

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Hannibal goes at the top-right if you're not rude.

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

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

It's also inexplicably missing the coolest one (Dr Victor von Doom)

This vexes me.

[-] Sho@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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."

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day 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.

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Oz is a Doctor, and was a very good one who got corrupted in his aim for fame and fortune. Part of his tragedy is that if he'd shut up and just do his actual doctor work only he'd be a benefit to society, not the detriment he is now. It's important to know that he's worse because he had actual skill as a heart surgeon. Quoting wiki:

In 1982, he received his undergraduate degree in biology magna cum laude[3] at Harvard University.[31] ... In 1986, he obtained MD and MBA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine[30] and Penn's Wharton School.[34][35]

Edit: also, as far as I can tell, still performing heart surgeries, so should still be licensed. Still a piece of shit who should stick to surgeries. Lots of people good at 1 thing think they're geniuses at everything.

[-] ViperActual@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

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

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 18 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 5 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

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

It explains why this is so inaccurate

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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 5 points 1 day ago

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 4 points 1 day ago

SO'S YOUR FACE!

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)

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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!

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day 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?

[-] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 28 points 1 day ago

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 7 points 1 day ago

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.

I should trust Zoidberg more than Dr. Phil?

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[-] zeekaran@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago
  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
[-] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 80 points 1 day ago

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

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 4 points 1 day ago

Just goes to show, it’s a hard knock life

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 102 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] UtMan1988@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I would trust Hannibal Lector more than Oz, frankly.

[-] Railing5132@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

At least Lecter is honest about who he is!

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

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.

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.
