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.

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

How are Oz and Phil so high on this spectrum?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They haven't eaten human liver or tried pan frying a piece of someone's brain .... but they're still a couple of idiots that shouldn't be trusted for medical advice

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

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

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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 2 days ago (1 children)

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 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a tad out of date, but the Second Doctor claims he received a medical degree after studying under Joseph Lister in 1888.

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 (2 children)

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!

Also... I think he brought some mother fuckers back from the dead. And he helped reverse the snap.

That sounds like he's probably got a solid defense against any complaints made to the state board.

You've got Doc Ock but no Doc Doom?

Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?

You should probably switch Zoidberg with Dr. Pepper.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

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

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

Trying to figure out where Dr Doom would fit. Supposedly he does have a doctorate but it came from Latveria so could be a bit... biased
