Name a TV doctor you'd want as your doctor

[LogDog75]

Martin Ellingham in Doc Martin. He's rude, aloof, has a poor bedside manner but he's great at diagnosing what's wrong with you. He doesn't put up with fools or idiots even if they're his fellow doctors but he does care about is patients even if he doesn't show it.

I've had a number of doctors being in the military and being retired receiving my medical care at a Navy clinic. Most have been very good and there's been one or two who hardly talked to you. The one I have now is great! I can put up with rudeness if the person is good at their profession and cares.

1. Hawkeye and BJ

yes INDEED

[Harker]

11. They'd keep you in stitches.

[Skittles]

21. heh

I just loved their humor that rose above their dismal circumstances

[markodochartaigh]

2. Dr Bashir,

he could introduce me to Garak.

[OldBaldy1701E]

16. Yes, either him or maybe Kate Pulaski! (n/t)

[Tarzanrock]

3. Dr. Gregory House

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. My choice, as well.

He'd tell you how it is, straight up, whether you like it or not!

4. Hawkeye Pierce

[LSparkle]

5. Marcus Welby M.D.

Robert Young as a kindly mature doctor ... with a hot young partner (my introduction to James Brolin when he was sooooo attractive back in the 70s!).

[JoseBalow]

6. Dr. Katz

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Marcus Welby.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

17. ME TOO!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. He was so kind and fatherly.

Now, all my doctors are younger than I am.

[nuxvomica]

8. Doctor Who

Like if I fell from a tree and broke my leg we could go back in time and stop me from climbing the tree, for example.

[Emile]

9. Dr. Shaun Murphy (The Good Doctor)

[no_hypocrisy]

10. The crew from St. Elsewhere

Dr. Mark Craig (William Daniels)
Dr. Philip Chandler (Denzel Washington)
Dr. Daniel Auschlander (Norman Lloyd)
Dr. Donald Westphall (Ed Flanders)

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. I'm rewatching St. Elsewhere right now.

It's on Hulu.

[milestogo]

23. I rewatched it over the winter.

Loved Dr Fiscus (Howie Mandel) and Boomer (David Morse). First big break for a lot of these guys. Mark Harmon and Denzel too.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. They're all so young!

Howie Mandel actually has hair.

[milestogo]

25. Hard to believe its the same guy.

David Morse has had a lot of roles. He never became an A lister, but he's a very good actor.

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. On Fridays, there's a TV station called Heroes & Icons that shows old episodes of Hawaii 5-0.

Ed Flanders appears in several episodes. That man was an excellent actor, so it's sad that he committed suicide.

[milestogo]

32. I didn't know that.

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. Can't remember how I found it.

It's always nice to gaze upon Jack Lord again.

[catbyte]

12. House -- he'd find out what was wrong with me and fix it within an hour.

And bedside manner is overrated anyway.

[Wounded Bear]

14. If he doesn't kill you in the 2d act!

[Harker]

13. Just a simple country doctor...

with a medical tricorder!

[Niagara]

15. Dr. Jack Shepard

I couldn't find any short clips that I liked of Jack performing his medical duties before or after the flight crash.

I'm going to share a heartfelt exchange between Sawyer talking to Jack about Jack's father.

[sl8]

18. Dr. Ken is an actual MD:

[BigMin28]

ER

[FarPoint]

27. Siddiqi from the Walking Dead....

He rose up to serve the best he could with what he had to use....

[Ptah]

28. Dr. Johnny Fever

[FSogol]

29. What? No one is going to pick Quincy?

[Annie Moosee]

35. That was one

that occurred to me...

He was the medical examiner, right? Making sure my 50+ brain is remembering correctly.

[TommieMommy]

30. Dr Who or Dr Welby

[Iggo]

34. Life on the line? Dr. House.

GP? Dr. McCoy.
