Ah, medicine! The wonderful science of putting people back together... or pulling them apart. Let's face it, there's just something inherently creepy about medical doctors. Their profession is one that centers around guts, organs, blood, and bones, things that could make the most hardened badass vomit on the spot and they don't even flinch during their operations day after day after day. They can take a knife to a man's flesh, open him up like a zip-lock bag, do lord-knows-what to the insides of their patients, and close them up again, ready for the next patient. And they're always so... jolly. This guy? This guy is all of that wrongness collected and made real. This is the guy that uses his knowledge of the workings of the body (or of the mind) to do evil, abuses the authority he has from his doctorate to practice freakish and horrific experiments, harvest organs or even providing Foul Medicines, proving that Science Is Bad. Nowadays, Predatory Big Pharma may be covering for him. If patients no longer want to see him, he may resort to kidnapping his test subjects. Why he treats them, and not him, is not clear. Of course, for all his insanity, the doctor may in fact be a Bunny-Ears Lawyer who actually knows what he's doing. Patients may be terrified by the way he acts and the bizarre treatments he puts them through, but when the doctor is done with them they're actually cured. This has happened often enough in Real Life (notable in the original trope name, "The Mengele", named after infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele) that there's a branch of medical ethics devoted to figuring out what you can do to your patients For Science!, and (at least in the USA) every hospital and university has a committee whose entire job is to oversee research with human subjects. It's generally agreed that you must tell people you're experimenting on them, why, what the risks are, what they get out of it, and give them the opportunity to say no. The Other Wiki has more information than you require. A supertrope of Deadly Doctor (a combatant in medical garb) and Psycho Psychologist (psychologist/psychiatrist who commits evil/unethical/malicious deeds with his expertise). The counterpart of Mad Artist, Mad Mathematician, and Mad Scientist in the field of medicine (of course as with all the "Mad Genius" archetype sub-tropes, these are not mutually exclusive and often overlap — medicine does require scientific research and a Mad Artist could use expertise gained as a physician, mathematician and/or scientist in creating their insane artwork). Could be an Evilutionary Biologist. Some may have a Morally Ambiguous Doctorate. For unintentional examples, see Comically Inept Healing. If the doctor in question is a Jerkass, then you have Dr. Jerk. Of course these two could overlap literally. Compare Quirky Doctor. Compare Depraved Dentist. If you were looking for the Mickey Mouse short, see here. |

Subverted a tad bit in Awful Hospital, while the deranged staff of the Hospital clearly looks the part, with no two alike and most of them sentient body parts or surgically/medically symbolic things, they're not quite as bad or crazed as they seem to be; they're just doing their job. | |

Dr. Akihiro Kanou kicks off the plot of Tokyo Ghoul by crossing this with Mad Scientist. His research involves making Artificial Hybrids by implanting a Ghoul's predatory organ into a human and hoping it works out. When Kaneki confronts him over destroying his life, Dr. Kanou calmly explains that he's a doctor, and the experimental surgery he did saved Kaneki from dying. | |

Both surgically modify their subordinates to serve themselves in inhuman capacity — Mayuri turns them into living bombs, Szayelaporro into living medkits. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise: The Mirror Universe version of Phlox from the episode "In a Mirror, Darkly" enjoys performing brutal and sadistic medical experiments. He also gets dangerously close in the prime universe in "Singularity" when radiation makes the entire crew turn obsessive-compulsive. He nearly dissects Mayweather's brain because of a simple headache. |

House: Dr. Gregory House himself is really just a Dr. Jerk. However, at one point he had two dozen or so candidates who were competing for a coveted position on his diagnostic team. When it seems that one of their patients has polio, which is mostly a third world disease, it turns out that one of the doctors was deliberately poisoning the patient to mimic the symptoms of polio in order to, as he put it, "raise awareness". After House disqualifies him, he tells Foreman to call the cops. | |

However, it's shown that him and the other doctors are a bunch of quacks who don't know what they're doing, as their first instinct is to remove her entire brain.

Tales of the Bounty Hunters: Imperial surgeons cut out most of Dengar's hypothalamus, removing all his emotions but anger, hope, and loneliness to make him into a perfect assassin. Other material establishes that physicians in the Star Wars universe also have the "first, do no harm" rule like the real-world Hippocratic Oath, which of course the Empire doesn't care about. They also perform this en masse on the pacifist Aruzans to "Redesign" them as violent killers. | |

Community: In "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps", Troy's scary story has him and Abed stumbling on mad doctor Pierce's lab. He slips them a mickey and sews them together like conjoined twins...but they find this gives them a psychic bond, and they knock him out with a telekinetically hurled skillet. They then operate on him, sewing his butt-cheeks onto his chest. He laughs that he can now feel himself up — until he finds that they've also switched his hands with his feet! | |

Fandom-renowned RWBY fanfiction author Coeur Al'Aran's recurring Original Character Tsune is a light-hearted example. She's a fox Faunus who serves as Beacon's resident doctor, and although she does her job, she has a bit of a thing for observing pain in her patients, which is consistently Played for Laughs. In one fic, she even expresses reluctance to use drugs unless they're very necessary, decrying them as an abomination for their pain-numbing effects. | |

In one episode of Highlander, Duncan is kidnapped and drugged by a doctor who wants to conduct experiments on him, having seen Duncan's immortal Healing Factor kick in after being hit by a car. It's revealed that Duncan isn't the doctor's first victim, either — the guy killed a nurse who caught on, and Duncan has to find evidence to prove his innocence, as the doctor used Duncan's T-bird when he killed the nurse. | |

Lampshaded in Freefall. Florence is stuck in the middle of a hurricane with a life-threatening cut on her leg, and muses that with her luck, the only medical center she'd be able to find would be run by a mad doctor. She then notes that, as an uplifted wolf, what she really needs is someone experienced in canine physiology. Cue a "mad veterinarian" sign.

Whateley Universe: Several Mad Scientists are medical doctors, or at least claim to be. Notable examples include Dr. DNA (creator of the Ani-Men), Dr. Venus (who is a Professor Guinea Pig in addition to her experiments on her 'studmuffins'), Dr. Veritas (who was Dr. Venus's mentor, and did the cybernetic implants for the 'Cyber-Tribe') and Dr. Gladys Wilkins (who runs a 'black' clinic for the supervillain community in New York City). Jobe Wilkins is notable in that he has the skills and knowledge of a full medical doctor as of 2006, just not the degree — he's still in high school. Given her ambitions and vanity, she probably has attended medical school by the time of the 2016 stories, or at the very least found some institution willing to grant the title. |

One episode of ¡Mucha Lucha! was actually about an evil doctor who threatened to remove the Flea's spleen as a result of a prank the Flea played on him just so he can use said spleen to create a monster made entirely out of internal organs. However, it then turns out that the spleen actually escaped the Flea's body prior to the episode's events, and the spleen for some reason is three times the size of the Flea himself. | |

Transformers: Shattered Glass (the Mirror Universe, in which Decepticons are heroes and Autobots are evil) has Ratchet, the Autobot medic. In fact, any wounded bot gets sent to him not for repairs, but as a punishment. Ratchet himself actually means very well. However, he possesses an irresistible desire to "improve" his patients by adding them unwanted extra details, and then gets surprised when they express their disapproval. Rodimus, for example, was sent to have his missing hand replaced, and Ratchet decided to give him a buzzsaw instead. | |

However, all it does is make them blind. Another in "D.A.W." is a former drug addict who now uses morphine to OD his patients, pilfers valuables from them, and gets them to agree to cremations so that their real cause of death can't be traced. |

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters features the "Monster Doctor", whose idea of medicine includes using the earth prong on an electrical plug to give someone a third nostril. A runaway Ickis is seen walking across the camera despite not being responsible, causing his friends to believe that he is responsible. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has one or two in settings involving Mad Science: Dr. Victor Mordenheim and Dr. Daclaud Heinfroth in Ravenloft. The former focuses on medical science of the Frankenstein nature, while the latter is a mad psychiatrist (also a vampire that feeds on cerebrospinal fluid). There's also a minor Darklord, Frantisek Markov, who is a cheap rip-off of the titular character from The Island of Doctor Moreau; mutilating animals and humans to create "broken men", which are horrific humanoid animals. He's mostly self-titled, however; he's a former butcher and pig farmer who developed a sick fascination with surgery. Spelljammer has the whole race of these, Xixchil. They do —for a price— any surgery feat imaginable, like "improvements" adding strength, "natural" armor, wings, sex changing, and so on. Xixchil just can't grasp their clients' (and players') assumptions and use their very non-humanoid common sense, working as close to the request as they imagine. Body Horror ensues in all and any cases more ambiguous than medical or minor plastic surgery. |

Dr. Malus Thorm from Baldur's Gate III is a Shar worshipper who's been warped by the shadow curse, turning him into an insane, undead monster. He performs grotesque surgeries on unlucky "patients", allowing his nurses to murder them under the belief that the absence of life is the only way to "cure" them. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade has a number of examples, but one of the standouts is Dr. Netchurch of Clan Malkavian. Netchurch denies that there is anything wrong with him, despite the assumptions of his clan (every Malkavian has or acquires some form of mental disorder), and believes there is a rational explanation for the "magical" powers associated with vampirism, one that can be found through his detailed experiments on willing volunteers. Of course, Dr. Netchurch's problem is that he slips into fugue states, and doesn't realize that he's using his powers of Dominate to compel his test subjects to volunteer for painful, invasive procedures... | |

Played straight and subverted in the Halo novels with Doctor Catherine Halsey. Played straight in that she is repeatedly compared to Josef Mengele in Karen Traviss's Kilo-Five trilogy due to Halsey's role in the SPARTAN-II program. The subversion is the fact that all other Halo media, including all the novels released before Kilo-Five, depict Halsey as being nothing like a mad doctor. | |

In Global Frequency #9, surgeons in a medical research facility became literally Mad Doctors after the leak of an experimental gas. The surgeons' pre-existing fascination with the inside of the human body escalated into fanatical worship, and so... "They went into the wards, where their volunteer patients were. And they used stem-cell technology and bioreactors to make things out of them. And they're all still alive." | |

Faust VIII of Shaman King, who basically introduces himself by vivisecting Yoh's Muggle friend Manta, tearing open his own leg with a scalpel to replace a broken bone with one from one of his many skeletons and then revealing himself to be constantly high as hell on morphine. Between other things, he also carries around his dead wife's skeleton in his coat, he cut off his own legs to give said skeleton new legs after they got destroyed in battle, and at the start of the Shaman Fight, he does essentially nothing to break a fall from hundreds of feet in the air that would have killed him if he hadn't operated on himself right after crashing thanks to, again, constantly being high as hell on morphine. Of course, Defeat Means Friendship — a long time later. | |

Batman: Because his own father was a physician, Batman takes criminal doctors very personally: The Crime Doctor, who started as a Batman villain but then naturally became the nemesis of Doctor Mid-Nite, the resident metahuman physician. From the department of Mad Psychiatry, we get the Scarecrow, who sometimes attaches syringes to his gloves and drives people insane with fear so he can study / watch for kicks. After dropping the gun-toting, Hush evolved into this, performing heart surgery on Catwoman and throwing scalpels at Batman instead of knives. Professor Pyg is equal parts this and Mad Artist; he kidnaps and surgically mutilates people into his idea of perfection before brainwashing them to be perfectly obedient. Dr. Hugo Strange. Like Scarecrow, he's a psychologist who frequently works at Arkham Asylum in most adaptations, and experiments on his patients and does everything he can to prove he's better than Batman. |

In Guns of the Dawn, an enemy army is under the command of the notorious "Dr. Lam", said to be a physician who rose to power in the chaos of revolution and who now enjoys dissecting captured prisoners. When Emily gets captured, she's taken to see him. It turns out that not only is Dr. Nathanial Lammegeier not a medical doctor (he's an engineer), he's also one of the nicest characters in the book. This isn't the biggest falsehood believed about the Denlanders and their "bloodthirsty revolution", either. | |

After that, she operates illegally in an underground clinic, performing more experiments on homeless people for what she claims is advancing medical knowledge. However, when a hitman murders her brother, she subjects him to a sex reassignment both to punish and change him (supposedly) for the better. After he kills most of her employees, plus shooting her, in revenge, she's found out by the police and sent to a mental institution. | |

Plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Smith from Let Me Call You Sweetheart really isn't right in the head. He's obsessed with his dead daughter to the point of recreating her likeness in other women and is revealed to have performed surgery on her himself, which is rather unethical. He views Barbara Tompkins as his creation and feels he's entitled to her company, and felt much the same about Suzanne. He gets almost violently angry with Kerry when she questions him, to the point she genuinely fears for her safety, and then intends to kill himself near the end of the story due to no longer being able to operate. Overall, he is just not a well man. | |

It's implied that he runs a successful medical clinic most of the time he's not doing things like vampirizing people for fun, trying to resurrect his dead brother's head, or "supplying" the black market (or another mad doctor) with organs taken from his victims and using them as bait for his favourite shinigami. | |

In the Pony POV Series, Professor Kabuto Beetle, the Evil Genius of the Changelings. He rivals Twilight in terms of intellect, and has a Doctorate, but really likes performing horrid medical experiments on anypony he can get away with, and relishes doing so. He's so bad with this trope that the rest of the Changelings loath him. | |

Maester Qyburn from A Song of Ice and Fire was this. Until he was stripped of his maester status for performing vivisections, which was an ethical breach too far for the Citadel. He ended up working with the most foul and depraved mercenary company in both Westeros and beyond as their company definitely-not-a-maester-anymore, officially-demoted-to-quack surgeon. And, given the world includes companies led by people such as Gregor Clegane, "the Bloody Mummers" status as "sellswords everybody hates" is truly impressive. Qyburn fitted himself right in and kept up the "good" work on the company's victims. By-the-by... he's actually really, really good at keeping patients alive through horrifically awful injuries or amputations; better than most of the maesters who have specialised in healing, in fact. Plenty of unethical, hands-on practice makes one a terrific surgeon, apparently. As of A Feast for Crows, Qyburn has moved on to being the main... interrogator... for Queen Cersei. | |

Dr. Herbert West from Herbert West–Reanimator. Mad doctor tries to reanimate dead tissue in order to defeat death, a noble ideal, although his fervor and methods (including body-snatching and using people who have just died, often directly or indirectly due to him) in order to get the 'freshest specimens' tip him safely over the edge into crazy. | |

Dr. Victor Mordenheim and Dr. Daclaud Heinfroth in Ravenloft. The former focuses on medical science of the Frankenstein nature, while the latter is a mad psychiatrist (also a vampire that feeds on cerebrospinal fluid). There's also a minor Darklord, Frantisek Markov, who is a cheap rip-off of the titular character from The Island of Doctor Moreau; mutilating animals and humans to create "broken men", which are horrific humanoid animals. He's mostly self-titled, however; he's a former butcher and pig farmer who developed a sick fascination with surgery. | |

Chronicles of Darkness and the fan-game Genius: The Transgression: If you suffer a crash in the Midnight Roads, you may attract a gremlin. Driven by a mad desire to fix anything — or anyone — that's "broken", it'll set itself down beside you and take those long drills and scalpels it has in place of fingers and it'll start to work. It'll cut and bore and stitch and weld and otherwise do its best to piece you together with whatever it has to hand — if you're lucky, it'll just chop up any of your fellow passengers. More likely, it'll use the bits of the car or bike you crashed to do the work. If you end up living through their removing your ribs and replacing them with a chassis of solid metal, and grafting parts from an old clock to your heart to keep it beating, then they'll pull out your guts and put in a diesel processor before replacing the flesh of your trunk with plastic and rubber. But if you live through all that... relax! When the gremlin vanishes back into the Shadow, it'll take the magic keeping you alive with it, and you'll die more or less instantly. They also like to do things like trying to build a car from the carcasses of dead cattle and babies from scrap metal, just to see if they can make them "work". This is also where many Geniuses and demiurges end up. In the first case, the Progenitors have just recovered from a fairly brutal and messy purge of the unmada and Illuminated in their ranks, and there's still a considerable chance for any given Genius to go screaming off the deep end and end up insane rather than just crazy. In the second, the only way for a demiurge to catalyze the creation of a new Promethean lineage is obsession, and most have a healthy dose of desperation and insanity to go with it, neatly explaining why they spent so much time and effort trying to reanimate the dead. |

Warhammer 40,000 has more than its fair share of Mad Doctors: The Orks' "Mad Doks" or "Painboyz" are nothing but these. These Orks have basic medical knowledge hard-wired into their DNA, along with a compulsion to "tinker." They've been known to decapitate an Ork, and graft its head onto another Ork's body just to see what happens. Or swap two Orks' limbs, just for fun. Or replace an Orks' brain with a live squig, for the hell of it. Or give an Ork bionic lungs, when he came in with a toothache. Or just plain forget what they were supposed to be doing, pick a limb at random and bolt on a replacement. You have to be really desperate to visit a Mad Dok, so some don't bother waiting for you to show up. This is probably best displayed in the spinoff Gorkamorka, which has six pages of tables dedicated to the Dok's surgery because it's that unpredictable. Some interpretations even indicate that the Orks in a mob led by a Dok have Feel No Pain not because of the Dok providing medical help, but because the Orks are so afraid of him doing so that they pretend not to have suffered any injury less severe than decapitation while chanting phrases like "Missin' leg? No, dat'z just a skratch, 'onest." The most infamous of these would be Mad Dok Grotsnik, whose work included hiding explosives in the heads of his patients and detonating them when he felt like it. The other Orks' revenge and Grotsnik's subsequent "resurrection" at the hands of his Grot assistants have left him a patchwork of greenskin and cyborg bits, and even loonier. Grotsnik occasionally amputates his own limbs "just to keep his hand in" and is rumored to be collecting parts from his patients to build a super-Ork. He is only alive because he is the unofficial court physician of the Ork warlord and prophet Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, whose "vishuns from da Gods" started right after Grotsnik gave him his adamantium skull (sans explosives). The setting's Dark Eldar have Haemonculi, who have great knowledge of physiology and medicine but use it for decidedly sadistic purposes. They share the Mad Doks' desire to "experiment," but have more tools and practical understanding of medicine at their disposal, so unfortunately their "patients" can live through more. They are often responsible for the lumbering, misshapen Grotesques that sometimes accompany Dark Eldar raiders as literal meat shields due to their inability to feel pain, while one story describes a Haemonculus who had a victim reduced to a collection of skin and organs hanging from hooks on his lab's ceiling. The victim was still alive. Fabius Bile, a Chaos Lord whom we are contractually obligated to remind you has a lab coat made of human skin, has transformed the population of entire planets in shambling monstrosities in genocidal experiments. He's so crazy he's spent thousands of years in the Warp and come out of it mostly unchanged. He created a master race that are the Space Marine Super Soldiers but stronger and crazier, while his failed experiments tend to disintegrate from the violence of their mutations. In the Horus Heresy novel Angel Exterminatus, even the Iron Warriors — embittered siege-focused killing machines who committed genocide on their own homeworld and are often chomping at the bit for the chance to wipe out their rivals among their own ranks — are appalled by what Fabius Bile does to captured Space Marines. The World Eaters have specialized people who can perform a delicate surgery where they partially lobotomize the patient, removing the parts of the brain that let them feel fear, allowing for scarily murderous warriors. These are called berserker-surgeons. |

Team Fortress 2's Medic: The healing properties of the Medigun were an accidental side-effect of whatever his experiments were supposed to be for, possibly related to the time he made a man's skeleton disappear. Meet The Medic pretty much sums him up. Apparently, progress sounds like an exploding heart. Aside from extracting a man's skeleton, he has put a (live) human brain inside of a pumpkin, sewed baboon uteruses into people (including three different ones INTO THE SAME GUY), had said uteruses produce live baboon offspring, and surgically added the souls of others to himself to escape the deal he made with Satan. So yeah, the man is insane. |

Dr. Barber in The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack seems a little unhinged which really showed in the episode where everyone in Stormalong became infected with The Black Plague. He seemed like a kid in a candy store. In another episode, he seemed really interested in performing surgery on Flapjack for something that wasn't serious in the first place. Added to the fact that he uses barber tools and doubles as a barber... He was going to test Flapjack for blindness with a harpoon. Although it sort of makes sense; if he wasn't blind, he would probably move before he got impaled through the face. |

CSI: It may be a stretch, but "Justice is Served" has a mad nutritionist. She has a bad case of porphyria and thinks that the best way to stave off its symptoms is to feast on the most blood-rich organs of healthy men. The mad white supremacist eugenicist who killed Lady Heather's daughter in "Pirates of the Third Reich". |

League of Legends invokes this trope with Dr. Mundo, a brutish Dumb Muscle with an insane pain tolerance who merely thinks he's a doctor. He was raised by abusive asylum doctors that regularly performed torturous experiments on him, but not only was he immune to them, he took it as a genuine inspiration to take up medicine on his own. Unfortunately, his only real knowledge of "being a doctor" is butchering people to shreds, not that it seems to bother him too much. | |

Spelljammer has the whole race of these, Xixchil. They do —for a price— any surgery feat imaginable, like "improvements" adding strength, "natural" armor, wings, sex changing, and so on. Xixchil just can't grasp their clients' (and players') assumptions and use their very non-humanoid common sense, working as close to the request as they imagine. Body Horror ensues in all and any cases more ambiguous than medical or minor plastic surgery. | |

Doctor Fred Edison from Maniac Mansion has no compunction about kidnapping the protagonist's girlfriend to test out his new zombification machine, but as it turns out he's actually a decent enough guy who's really under the control of the Big Bad meteor that enslaved him over twenty years ago. In the sequel, Day of the Tentacle, Laverne isn't quite a doctor yet, but as a med-student, she's on her way there — and she's certainly quite... unhinged. | |

Hajime Hanafusa from Kengan Ashura is a brilliant surgeon with an unhealthy obsession with dissecting people he finds interesting, especially fighters. During his debut fight in the tournament, he reveals that he turned himself into a Cyborg by implanting swords made from his own femurs into his arms, modifying his brain to eliminate his sense of pain, loading high-pressure gas into his heels to deliver explosive jump kicks, and adding cardiac implants that kept his heart beating and allowed him to survive having his neck snapped. | |

In Tsukihime, Kohaku has great medicinal knowledge and a pharmacology license despite her role as a Meido, which she occasionally uses for rather worrisome ends. In the pseudo-sequel, one possible way to end the day is to end up trapped in the basement jail with Kohaku about to inject Shiki with many syringes. This carries over into Fanon and the fighting game adaptation Melty Blood. | |

Although probably not comparable to some of the others on this page, Shiro Miyata of Siren 1 is far from sane. Before the game has even started he Murders a pregnant nurse he was involved with and then buries her in the woods. He later dissects her zombified corpse (fetus and all), along with that of her twin sister (who he also murdered). He also murders his own twin brother and assumes his identity, even though by the time he does this, there is no one around for him to interact with, making the murder and the masquerade especially pointless. |

This is also where many Geniuses and demiurges end up. In the first case, the Progenitors have just recovered from a fairly brutal and messy purge of the unmada and Illuminated in their ranks, and there's still a considerable chance for any given Genius to go screaming off the deep end and end up insane rather than just crazy. In the second, the only way for a demiurge to catalyze the creation of a new Promethean lineage is obsession, and most have a healthy dose of desperation and insanity to go with it, neatly explaining why they spent so much time and effort trying to reanimate the dead. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Darkling", the Doctor alters his programming in an attempt to become smarter, but adding personality traits from others creates an Enemy Within from their collective dark side. Or whenever someone deactivates his "Ethical Subroutines", which seems to happen quite easily given that it doesn't appear to take much skill to turn them off. In "Coda", Janeway merely imagines the EMH to be like this during a hallucination when she awakens in sick bay after a shuttle crash. The doctor coldly informs her that she has a fatal illness and refuses to let her see anyone else, then erects a forcefield to perform involuntary euthanasia on Janeway. "Living Witness" has a propagandistic holoprogram portraying the crew as evil people aiding the race that conquered them hundreds of years before. The Doctor is shown injecting a prisoner with a substance that destroys his brain. Dr. Crell Moset from "Nothing Human" is a Cardassian doctor who is clearly based on Josef Mengele. The crew of Voyager create a holographic replica of him to help remove an alien parasite from B'Elanna, and she refuses treatment when she learns who they replicated. There's also a Bajoran crew member who objects to the hologram because his grandfather was killed by the real doctor's experiments during the Occupation. |

Two from Gog: Doctor Horald Olafsen from the Disease as cure chapter believes that healthy people live less and that being free of ill is "a hidden harm", so logically everyone must be perpetually sick, and that people should receive diseases from doctors in order to have an average level of well-being. Gog notices that he was probably the only person to ever bother hearing the doctor's ideas. Doctor Anosh-Uthra from Moral surgery claims he can rid people of sins or unwanted virtues. When Gog asks if his entire soul can be amputated, the doctor says that he could try it. |

Assassin's Creed: The Templars seem to have someone filling this role in every game. Assassin's Creed: Garnier de Naplouse has his men round up the indigent and insane so he performs surgical experiments on them, hoping to cure their insanity by making them braindead slaves... and he thinks he's helping them. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood: Malfatto is basically a Renaissance-era Jack the Ripper dressed in a beaky plague doctor mask. A Templar (read: on Malfatto's side) privately notes how disturbing he is and doubts that he's even a real doctor. Assassin's Creed: Unity: le Roi des Thunes takes a cut from all the beggars in Paris; if they don't make their quotas, he has his surgeons cut off a limb since crippled beggars bring in more dough. Assassin's Creed Syndicate: John Elliotson floods the streets of London with a datura-based drug that rapidly erodes their conscious mind, leaving them drooling idiots. He's introduced in an operating theater dissecting a corpse; he ruins the brain and then gives a slightly embarrassed "whoops" before calling his assistant for another. |

It's implied that his sanity was eroding even before the deal was exposed and he Jumped Off the Slippery Slope. To further exacerbate things, the one who exposed the deal was his old friend and mentor, who he has a massive Inferiority Superiority Complex towards. The next time they meet, his behavior towards the guy veers into Yandere territory. He's even referred to as "The Mad Doctor" by his new teammates. | |

House Astyanath, a faction in Infernum, are a House notorious for their almost religious fascination with pain, and are implied to have quite a few of these in their ranks. More explicit are Dissectionists — Mad Doctors as entertainers! For the delight and amusement of other demons, these depraved surgeons publically "peel" living creatures, using blades and alchemical concoctions to neatly remove skin from flesh, peel flesh from bone, and extract organs, all of which are arranged onto steel frameworks as part of the "show". The circulatory system and other such things must be kept intact during the "performance", so the end result is a grotesque flower of flesh and viscera... which is still alive, aware, and in incomprehensible agony. | |

Transformers: From the Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen tie-in comics, we have Flatline, who's best summed up as Josef Mengele as a Transformer. The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye has Pharma, who appears to have been a perfectly sane and exceptionally competent doctor until making a deal with the local squad of murderous torturers to protect his clinic and employees. It's implied that his sanity was eroding even before the deal was exposed and he Jumped Off the Slippery Slope. To further exacerbate things, the one who exposed the deal was his old friend and mentor, who he has a massive Inferiority Superiority Complex towards. The next time they meet, his behavior towards the guy veers into Yandere territory. He's even referred to as "The Mad Doctor" by his new teammates. Transformers: Shattered Glass (the Mirror Universe, in which Decepticons are heroes and Autobots are evil) has Ratchet, the Autobot medic. In fact, any wounded bot gets sent to him not for repairs, but as a punishment. Ratchet himself actually means very well. However, he possesses an irresistible desire to "improve" his patients by adding them unwanted extra details, and then gets surprised when they express their disapproval. Rodimus, for example, was sent to have his missing hand replaced, and Ratchet decided to give him a buzzsaw instead. |

In Super Smash Bros. Melee and the fourth game, Dr. Mario has a Palette Swap that invokes this. He dons a black lab coat, black gloves, and black shoes. The Japanese Melee website even described this costume as an "unlicensed doctor". | |
