Of course, for all
This has happened often enough in [[Real Life]] that there's a branch of medical ethics devoted to figuring out what you can do to your patients [[For Science!]], and (at least in the USA) every hospital and university has a committee whose entire job is to oversee research with human subjects. It's generally agreed that you must tell people you're experimenting on them, why, what the risks are, what they get out of it, and give them the opportunity to say no. The Other Wiki has [[wikipedia:Human subject research|more information than you require]].

A supertrope of [[Deadly Doctor]] (a combatant in medical garb). The counterpart of [[Mad Artist]] and [[Mad Scientist]] in the field of medicine. Could be an [[Evilutionary Biologist]]. Some may have a [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]].
Not to be confused with an angry [[Doctor Who|Time Lord]]. Compare [[Depraved Dentist]].

* [[wikipedia:Josef Mengele|Dr. Josef Mengele]], SS officer and doctor at the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp, and the [[Trope Codifier]].
* [[wikipedia:Theodor Morell|Dr. Theodor Morell]] turned [[Adolf Hitler|his own Führer]] into a guinea pig - for almost 8 years he doused him with compounds of strychnine, atropine, amphetamines, cocaine, even goddamn ''metamphetamine''. And he got away with it. [[Operation Valkyrie|Colonel Stauffenberg]]'s bomb brought him a death sentence even as it did much less damage to Hitler's health.
* [[wikipedia:Harold Shipman|Dr. Harold Shipman]].
* [http://jezebel.com/357761/dr-graeme-reeves-the-sickest-man-alive Dr. Graeme Reeves].
Line 214 ⟶ 210:
* Herman Webster Mudgett, better known by his alias: [[wikipedia:Dr. H. H. Holmes|H. H. Holmes]] was one of America's first documented [[Serial Killer|serial killers]]. [[Inn of No Return|He built a hotel containing gas chambers and secret chutes to dispose of the bodies]]. After killing his victims, he would usually dissect them and keep the parts he liked.
* Played for laughs by [[Dave Barry]] in various columns, where he tends to theorize that the "medical treatment" doctors provide generally consists of them performing sadistic tests on you until you are smart enough to pretend whatever you came in for is better. He also describes prostate exams like this (though in contrast, the doctor who performs those tests comes across better).
* [[Serial Killer]] Efren Saldivar gained notoriety for killing at least six (some estimates list his kill count at over 200, though this is hard if not impossible to prove due to some of the victims having been cremated) patients by injecting a paralytic drug which led to respiratory and/or cardiac arrest while working as a respiratory therapist. Saldivar was able to walk away from the murders despite an initial confession, as no damming evidence against him could be presented to court due to the fact that some of the compounds like succinylcholine chloride and morphine quickly decompose to harmless compounds. Pancuronium (brand name Pavulon) was used in six murders, and was thus found in tissue samples gathered from some of the victims, leading to his arrest and life imprisonment; had he not pleaded guilty as part of a plea bargain, he would have ended up [[Hoist by His Own Petard|sharing the same fate]] as his victims through lethal injection.
