need to define in what sense i am trusting them with my life here - medical? spiritual advisor? defending me against a rampaging horde of post-apocalypse cosplayers?

let's say you need an emergency appendectomy

― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Thursday, 20 August 2026 14:50 (one month ago)

No Doctor House, no credibility.

Well, we have direct evidence that Dr. Hibbert can handle that.

as Alan Partridge found out, sadly Doctor Hook is not a qualified medical doctor.

― Oaf To Joy (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 20 August 2026 14:55 (one month ago)

if it's for emergency medical treatment then obv Drs Kildare or Hibbert would be the most qualified but on the other hand i couldn't afford US medical care

Dr Quinn might do the job on the barter system which would probably work out cheaper

Dr Who can do magic i suppose

Fräulein Doktor (1969)

In the case of an appendectomy, Doctor Strange. And I would be disappointed if he performed a conventional surgery, rather than making an arcane gesture and my appendix suddenly materializes in a jar.

― Infanta Terrible (j.lu), Thursday, 20 August 2026 14:58 (one month ago)

Faustus could get Satan to fix me right up, just a question of who foots the bill there

getting Dr Zaius in would be the equivalent of going to a vet

― 99 gram lychee (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 20 August 2026 14:59 (one month ago)

Dr. Demento, no question

― paper plans (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 20 August 2026 15:00 (one month ago)

Doctor Zhivago would keep you in the waiting room for like 3 hours.

― jmm, Thursday, 20 August 2026 15:01 (one month ago)

Went with Dr Strange, just can't see past the surgeon/sorceror double. I suppose Dormammu might interrupt your surgery.

― woof, Thursday, 20 August 2026 15:01 (one month ago)

Doctor Zhivago is an enemy of the people so he can get to fuck

Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, M.D., Ph.D. has the hard to beat combo of actual medical knowledge ("Originally a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon") and a mastery of the mystic arts, all bases covered.

― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 20 August 2026 15:05 (one month ago)

Although I believe Morbius the Living Vampire - aka Dr Michael Morbius - is even more eminent in his field.

Here we have a borad full of They Might Be Giants fan-type people completely failing to actively nominate or even passively mention Doctor Worm for this now quite invalidated poll, now I have to do it after-the-fact. These results are meaningless! And we're supposed to believe all the fancy new methodology and infographics bells/whistles on this high-falutin' new "Sand Box" site are supposed to somehow rectify egregious omissions such as this going forward? Yeah, no! I think this site is NOT getting good, and I hope it CAN handle criticism!!!!!!!!!1111111

that is precisely the sort of finer point that should've been put on it when it was the appropriate time to discuss and deliberate about such matters
