Line 60:
* In the original ''[[The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]'', Dr. Henry Jekyll may or may not be that kind of doctor; Stevenson actually doesn't specify whether or not his doctorate is in medicine, although given his expertise in chemistry, it is possible. Some adaptations have indeed depicted him as running a private practice, or being retired from one.
* Dr. Abraham Van Helsing in the original ''[[Dracula (novel)|Dracula]]'' is that kind of doctor (and a professor of medicine), and ''not'' a vampire hunter, as adaptations often turn him into; he's just smart enough to know enough about them to improvise.
* The protagonist of ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]'' is that kind of doctor; in fact, the full title of the book was originally ''Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships''. However, the story doesn't include any situation where his medical skills are needed.
