Not That Kind of Doctor: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'', Hawkeye, Trapper, Frank, Henry, B.J., Charles, and Colonel Potter—pretty much all the male officers, not counting occasional visitors—were all that kind of doctor. Dr. Sidney Freedman is a psychiatrist, and therefore, is that kind of doctor, but it's not his occupation. In a crisis he's forced to help out in the O.R., over his protestations that "medical school was a long time ago."

* The Doctor of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has medical knowledge and ''has'' used it to heal people on occasion, but science is his forte and "Doctor" part of his assumed identity anyway. In ''The Moonbase'', he claims to have received a medical degree... under Lister on ''19th century'' Earth. In any case, he's had centuries to come by plenty of knowledge honestly.

** In the episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E07 A Good Man Goes to War|A Good Man Goes To War]]", the character Lorna knows he must be a great warrior because "Why else would he be called that?" Turns out that in her language, 'Doctor' means 'Mighty Warrior'. The irony is {{spoiler|that the Doctor has become so feared in reputation, that he created the term. In a way, he ''is'' that kind of Doctor.}}

** Liz Shaw is that kind of doctor, [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist|among other things.]] Harry Sullivan's doctorate is strictly medical.
