Sometimes a Back-Alley Doctor, sometimes an otherwise respectable doctor, Dr. Feelgood serves as a catalyst for another character's dangerous or unethical prescription drug habit. They may have promised to "do no harm," but at the end of the day, they either are oblivious to the fact that the patient has a problem, or they just don't care. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Trope Namer is the Mötley Crüe song, though the title character is not literally a doctor. Not to be confused with the Aretha Franklin song or the British pub rock band. Examples: |

House: Dr. Gregory House is his own Dr. Feelgood, what with the Vicodin addiction and all. However, due to the rules against doctors writing prescriptions for themselves, he usually has Wilson or one of his minions get the goods for him. They occasionally find this is true of the patients they're treating that week; one episode had them discover a working Mom was filling a Ritalin prescription for her children without the knowledge of her family so she could take the pills herself for the buzz. | |

On Mad Men the creative team has to work over the weekend to come up with a new campaign pitch for an important client. Everyone is very tired so Rogers suggests that they call in a doctor he knows that can give them 'vitamin shots' that will give them the energy they need to finish the project. The doctor injects everyone with what appears to be methamphetamines. Things turn weird quickly with people acting loony and some even start hurting themselves. It is implied that the doctor also supplies Roger with LSD. | |

FBI: Most Wanted: Dr. Jason Brock, the Villain of the Week in "Dopesick", is running a pill mill for a biker gang. He writes prescriptions for opioids for the addicts the biker gang sends him as patients without even the most cursory examination: listing 'back pain' as the reason for prescription. The addicts fill the scripts, keep a percentage of the pills for their own use, and give the rest to the bikers to on-sell. Aside from the huge number of prescriptions written, the FBI are tipped off because all of his 'patients' pay cash. | |

The Venture Bros.: Dr. Venture visits a "Tijuana doctor" for a resupply of his pills. Initially the doctor balks at prescribing such a large amount of drugs, and was insulted that Dr. Venture assumed he'd just grant a prescription because he was a Mexican doctor. Dr. Benjamin helped smooth the ruffles. | |

Desperate to keep playing football and "play through the pain", he asks Tim Riggins for help. Tim refers him to a local doctor, telling him to compliment the doctor on his college football career and how to answer the very rote questions (the doctor doesn't even vary the order of the questions). | |

On Shadowhunters, Victor Aldertree, head of the Institute and a former field medic, gives Isabelle the Fantastic Drug yin fen. This is allegedly to help her recover from an injury, but he plays up his helpfulness in seeking a date with her. The drug is also extremely addictive, being made from vampire venom. Unable to get it from any source except for Aldertree, Isabelle ends up seeking out actual vampires to get bitten. | |

Despite coaching from the doctor to claim that he's suffering from back pain, anxiety, or insomnia, the patient comes up with a series of increasingly unlikely ailments like AIDS, leprosy, scurvy, rickets, and consumption, leading the fed up doctor to slap him in the face: | |
