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

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

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

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

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'd trust Kevorkian, but only if I'm ready to die.

The more anyone looks at this, the worse it gets.

Someone needs to fix this. But not me, I don't have my doctorate in memeology yet.

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.

You've got Doc Ock but no Doc Doom?

You should probably switch Zoidberg with Dr. Pepper.

How are Oz and Phil so high on this spectrum?

The Doctor is only on “TRUST WITH YOUR LIFE” as long as you aren't messing with (or have ever attempted to mess with) humans or other people they care about... otherwise they're on “RUN, RUN VERY FAR”.

You don't want to be an incidental character when The Doctor is about.

You also don't want to be his companion...you're best off jumping to a different reality and getting far away from London.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago

It's a tad out of date, but the Second Doctor claims he received a medical degree after studying under Joseph Lister in 1888.

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

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!

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

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!

Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?

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

I thinki. Could trust Dr Dre a bit more than what you're saying I should.

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