This made me laugh more than I'm proud of.PotatoeMan said:
+1 to the mass of posters who vote for The Doctor.
As the best medical doctor, I like Dr.Cox from scrubs, and as the best Doctor who, I like Christopher Eccleston.
Agreed. And if I had a choice of nurse, I would choose between these two:mew4ever23 said:Damn, beaten to it. Anyway, both sides invalid, the best doctor is of course The Doctor.SomeLameStuff said:You're BOTH wrong! The best doctor is of course, this guy.
I hope someday to meet you in glory of battle where I will crush the life from your worthless human form. Try and get some rest.mastermerrick said:Agreed. And if I had a choice of nurse, I would choose between these two:
1: Yeah, should have seen the Doctor Who response coming... I was expecting 1 or 2, but not nearly the entire response page. Still, I'd like to see that in another video.
2: Out of the choices given: tough choice, but I gotta go with Doctor House.
3: Personal choice: Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece. We're going by anime logic, so band-aids heal everything.

Okay, the David Tennant vs. Matt Smith debate would be (at best) who's the 2nd best Doctor (or 3rd if you ask David Tennant because he'd probably put Peter Davidson 1st). Because everyone knows, no one can challenge the greatness that is Tom Baker.InterAirplay said:
I, like the other nerds in this thread, assumed it was about The Doctor, from whom all other titles of "Doctor" stem. But it was a fun discussion, nonetheless.
Coincidentally, I observe your PPG box in the background. And now I want to watch them. Good job, background references.

nope, best doc was Dr. Carson Beckett from Stargate Atlantis! heck, he put a retro-virus in someone to change their entire dna! now that's doing some science!
Great episode guys. This was a great example of "No Right Answer" between two excellent candidates. Though I also liked the episodes with two silly candidates, or the two worst candidates.
If you're going to do an episode on The Doctor, I recommend not going the "two best candidates" route. Do something like your Batman episode and argue between Rowan Atkinson (Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death) and Paul McGann (the Doctor Who TV movie).

Dr J. of course... i mean the doctor that Michael J Fox played in Scrubs, he has a medical and a Surgery spacialty, kicked Dr. Cox's ass in rounds and performed a (dont remember the name of the surgery) in like 6 seconds. He's Super Doc... Super Doc... Super Doc... alright, Super Doc with OCD.
I'm of the opinion that the answer to this question SHOULD have been Dr "Hawk-eye" Pierce of M*A*S*H. i really dislike house, though i am a big fan of Dr Cox. Hawk-eye is simply the better doctor, he loses fewer patients despite being in a war-zone.
I'll take any doctor from M*A*S*H over house any day.
You guys are funny, house is a joke of a show.

Doctor House would kill the majority of his patients in real life just by virtue of testing them to death. This isn't simple conjecture on my part. This is based on what real doctors have said of the show.
That, and I know people, who aren't doctors, who regularly make a game of beating House to the diagnosis just by using medical search engines. They usually win.

For those saying Doctor Who, I wouldn't really want the Doctor as my medical caregiver. For one, he doesn't seem to have all that much medical experience, and secondly, a lot of people around him die or are put into horrible situations. Just saying.
In on-topic terms of best TV doctor, I'd go with Cox myself. House is so completely unrealistic that, if I saw him or someone like him working as a doctor in a hospital, I'd likely go to a different hospital. One more argument against him that was missed was that he wouldn't mind putting you through intense physical and mental pain just to find an answer. Nor would he really care if you lived or died as long as he found out what was wrong with you before it happened.
Cox, while fairly unrealistic as well I think, is much more realistic about his goals. Yes, he might know that if he's treating you, you'll likely die. He's also more likely to try his hardest to heal you, even getting his army of minions to work on your case as well. Plus I could laugh at his antics with his staff.
Going the really non-realistic route, I think Tony-Tony chopper would be a good one. As others have said, he follows anime-rules for healing. A little rest can pretty much heal anything in those types of shows.
