A stock phrase that is almost always worded as: I'm an X not a Y. With X being their profession, and Y being whoever would be better able to do the job that they are having difficulty with. The most famous example, and thus the Trope Namer, is Star Trek's Dr. McCoy — but the earliest example we have so far is from 1869, making it not only Older Than Star Trek but Older Than Radio. (It was in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.) Note that DeForest Kelley, contrary to popular belief, never prefaced his statement with "Damn it, Jim" or some variant thereof; he never swore on the show, given that it aired in The '60s. He did swear up a storm in most of the movies, however, so parodists naturally combined his potty mouth with his catchphrase, to great effect. (He never actually used his catchphrase in a movie until the reboot — wherein he did swear, but he wasn't talking to Kirk, so the complete memetic phrase ultimately wasn't uttered until Star Trek Beyond.)note The reason why it's Scotty instead of McCoy that says "He's dead already!" in Star Trek II is that Kelley didn't want to mess up a dramatic moment by referencing the catchphrase. |

Claude Trilleo from Sunrider will sometimes shout "Dang it, Captain! I'm a doctor, not a fighter!" when ordered to attack an enemy, as a Shout-Out to the Trope Namer. And considering the terrible accuracy of her Ryder's only weapon, she's absolutely right. | |

Rocketship Voyager: The Auto-Doc delivers lines like "I'm an Autodoc, not an astrogator!" or "I'm a doctor, not a porter!" Later when the Autodoc insists it has become Chief Medical Officer after the deaths of the human medical staff, Captain Janeway retorts, "You're an Autodoc, not an officer!" When the Chief Science Officer, Dr. Zimmermann, complains about being ordered to help out in a field hospital, Janeway quips, "Let me guess: you're a doctor, not a doctor?" During the Final Battle, B'Elanna Torres realises she's an engineer not an Action Girl despite coming from a Proud Warrior Race of Venusian Amazons. She then uses her engineering skills to get a damaged airlock hatch open and save their lives. |

The Dresden Files: Quoth Butters, in Cold Days: "Dammit, Dresden, I'm a medical examiner, not an intelligence analyst." In a separate incident, Murphy and Dresden are considering calling him in to perform some off-the-books emergency surgery (they can't go to a hospital because that would lead to the victim's gunshot wound being reported). Murphy quips that Butters is likely to show up, take one look at the victim, and say something along the lines of "dammit, Murph, I'm a forensic examiner, not a pasta chef". |

In 1933 Philo Vance detective movie The Kennel Murder Case, the doctor is called to the scene of the crime, questioned by bystanders, and replies "I'm a doctor, not a magician". A few minutes later, he pronounces a man to have committed suicide and is reminded he's supposed to look at the body, to which he replies "I'm a doctor, not a detective". | |

The Transformers: An example that is not a parody and not played for laughs: when Skyfire is told by his old friend Starscream to kill a bunch of Autobots they've taken captive, the horrified Skyfire states that "I'm a scientist, not an executioner!" A late Season 3 episode features interim Autobot commander Rodimus Prime ordering Wreck-Gar to deposit the remains of previous leader Optimus Prime on an examining table, who exclaims "I'm a doctor (which he isn't), not a forklift!". For bonus points, Wreck-Gar follows this up with another Shout-Out to the Trope Namer in the form of "He's Dead, Jim". |

Star Trek (2009 revival): We get it a couple times, but toward the beginning, Bones' first line: "Dammit, man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!" (Well, his understanding of the physics Spock suggested seemed okay....) Subverted in Star Trek Into Darkness. Bones gives the expected line, but Spock replies that a doctor is exactly what he needs for his (unstated) plan. And in Star Trek Beyond, Bones tries to give the line while being transported aboard an enemy ship with Spock, but is interrupted. What Bones isn't this time is a Riddle for the Ages.note Given the context of what he was about to be asked, the completion of the line is probably "fighter pilot". |

Even more directly, with the Wild Wasteland trait activated, NCR Ambassador Crocker will shout the line "I'm an ambassador, not a doctor!" in response to a question about Jet and the human heart. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "Broken Link", Garak tries to convince Worf to stand by and let him commit genocide against the Dominion. Worf responds with "I'm a warrior, not a murderer!" In "Empok Nor", a Garak crazed by Psycho Serum taunts Chief O'Brien that he's no longer a soldier, only for O'Brien to reply, "You're right — I'm an engineer." and set off an improvised bomb he's rigged up. Bashir uses it occasionally, one of the most notable (but far from the first or only) being the protest "I'm a doctor, not a botanist" when Dax brings him a sick plant because Keiko O'Brien (the station's resident botanist) is at a conference at the time. He does, of course, use it in the show's anniversary episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" (a crossover episode with Star Trek: The Original Series courtesy of in-universe time-travel and real-life special effects wizardry). O'Brien also gets this line in "It's Only a Paper Moon", when Nog is speculating about the unusual nature of holo-character Vic Fontaine: "I'm an engineer, not a philosopher." |

Mass Effect: When you encounter the Rachni in the first game, if Liara is present, Shepard will ask her what they are. She will just say that she's an archaeologist, not a biologist, and is as clueless as Shepard. If you select Mordin as the specialist to open the doors during the Suicide Mission in the second game, he'll protest that he's not that kind of scientist (in other words, not a computer expert). Shepard gets in on it too. In the first game, Renegade Shepard responds to Nihlus' questions about Eden Prime with "I'm a marine, not some tourist on vacation." In the third game, Shepard tells Anderson "I'm a soldier, not a politician" to which Anderson responds "I don't need you to be either." The third game, sees an inverted version used by Gabby Daniels on Ken Donnelly - "You're the power systems engineer, not me." Gabby is a propulsion system engineer. |

I'm a supervillain, not a corporate shyster". On another occasion, Drakken says he wants to prove he's more brillainter than everyone else. |

Late into Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Sir Divish tasks Master Tobias Feyfar with building a trebuchet so they can more effectively lay siege to Talmberg after Istvan Toth takes it. Master Feyfar acknowledges that he is an engineer, the best in the fief in fact, but he's a mining engineer and thus isn't of much help in military matters. Luckily, there is an actual military engineer staying in the Sasau monastery, so Henry is tasked with getting his help. | |

Stargate Atlantis has Carson Beckett do this in a couple of episodes. Note that Beckett is an actual medical doctor and was written as a pretty obvious reference to Bones McCoy (to the point where Rodney McKay says that Dr. McCoy is "the TV character [Dr. Beckett] plays in real life"). In "The Eye", he says: "I'm a bloody medical doctor, not a magician." In "The Brotherhood", the line is: "For the last time — I'm a doctor not a bloody fighter pilot." |

Star Trek: Voyager: Proudly continued by the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH), who is, in fact, an actual placeholder. (That is, he was supposed to be a supplement to organic doctors in emergencies, but ends up permanently filling in for the chief medical officer when said officer is killed in the first fifteen minutes of the pilot.) Ironically, when auditioning for the part, Robert Picardo ad-libbed the line, "I'm a doctor, not a nightlight", having no idea that it was Dr. McCoy's catchphrase. In "The Cloud", we have this exchange. In "Future's End", the EMH says "I'm a doctor, not a database!", only for the episode's villain to point out that he's actually a bit of both. The EMH Mark II featured in "Message in a Bottle" indicates that the later EMH models continue the tradition: If you shoot him in the game Star Trek: Elite Force, he says "I'm a doctor, not a bullseye." Lampshaded by B'Elanna ("I'm a Doctor—" "Not an engineer, right.") and flipped around by Tom ("I'm a pilot, Harry, not a Doctor!"). The justification variant is frequently abused by Tuvok, who seems to feel compelled to begin any and every sentence or explanation with "I am a Vulcan." |

Subverted in a recurring Monkey Dust sketch where comedian David Baddiel would regularly volunteer to perform some sort of specialised task (such as surgery or piloting a space shuttle.) Upon being told "You're a famous comedian, not a ..." he would indignantly reply that his job makes him just as qualified as a trained professional. | |

Dr. Elizabeth Shannon of Terra Nova, when talking to her Cowboy Cop husband: "I'm a doctor, Jim, not a chemist." Considering that some of the people working on that show had also had a hand in Star Trek, that may have been intentional for any Trekkies watching. | |
