Top 11 Medics in Pop Culture

March 31, 2013

I went in for outpatient surgery on Monday; I had to go to the 12th surgeon on my list, because apparently, the first 11 don’t actually exist…

11. Shaman from Alpha Flight – I don’t normally accept alternative medicine as real, but since he is Canadian, the entire procedure is free under their socialist health care system.

10. Dr Leonard McCoy – Damnit, Steve, I’m a doctor, not a… oh, right, you actually DO need a doctor.

9. Dr Demento – Because laughter is the best medicine.

8. Dr Buckaroo Banzai – Not only could he perform my surgery, but he would also give my car a tune-up, and write a song about my gall bladder.

7. Dr Donald Blake – What do you need that hammer for, doc?

6. The Doctor – Not actually a doctor, he got his degree from some Timelord diploma mill.

5. Dr Midnite – Fantastic, my doctor is blind, and can someone get that damned owl out of the operating room!

4. Dr Destroyer – The main villain in the Champions RPG. He probably could fix me quickly and with no pain, but he’s way out of my point range.

3. The Crime Doctor – This is the guy who patches up all of the villains in Gotham. When I get shot robbing a bank to pay for my previous surgery, he will be the one I go to.
