Not That Kind of Doctor | comment |
If someone in TV-land is referred to as "the doctor", it means they're a medical doctor. It might not be explicitly mentioned, possibly even outright denied, but anyone called the doctor seems to be able to deliver any and all surgical operations and medical technobabble required by the plot. There are no exceptions (well, other than THE Doctor). All those other people who've got doctorates in science, law and philosophy are helpfully distinguished from a real doctor with vaguely-academic titles like "professor", if they're even awarded one at all. This trope stems from a modern convention: in the past, "Doctor" had a purely academic connotation — the word itself derives from the Latin doctor, meaning "teacher", meaning that the title-holder is licensed to lecture at a university on the subject they have a Doctorate in. Later, the meaning of the word Doctor narrowed down to mean that the holder has a doctorate degree: M.D. = Medicinæ Doctor (Doctor of Medicine), or Ph.D. = Philosophiæ Doctor (Doctor of Philosophy). At some point, the word (in English, at least) began to shift from being the title of a learned person/a person with a doctorate to meaning the same as "physician". Originally, the M.D. was a doctorate in medicine, but in some places, like the US and Canada, it became the first professional degree. (In the UK and Ireland bachelor of medicine & surgery — primarily abbreviated as MB ChB, though it can vary depending on university — are the first undergraduate degrees; holders are addressed as "Doctor" regardless. Meanwhile, surgeons — which require a graduate degree, equivalent to a North American M.D. in length of education — are only addressed in honorifics in a form of reverse snobbery.)note Historically, being a doctor (the equivalent to GP today) was considered a more upper-class career than surgery, as they do not have to get their hands dirty. Most surgeons were simply working-class barbers. This was in fact the origin of the iconic barber's pole, which dates back to medieval times; the red stripe represents bloody bandages, with the blue stripe being a much more recent addition that began in the United States (due to the national colors) and has spread from there. However when the modern era rolled around and surgery become a more specialized and prestigious line of work than mere doctoring, the surgeons refused the title of Doctor as a sort of passive-aggressive middle-finger to the snobs who denied them the title 300-ish years previously. It is easy to see how the term "doctor" was slowly divorced from its academic roots. This has gone so far that it is common for it to be thought that "real" doctors are physicians... which brings us to this trope. And M.D. Envy to boot. Certain professions blur the line. A psychiatrist or forensic pathologist will necessarily have a medical doctorate, but their main occupation isn't taking care of people's cuts and sniffles. If they're suddenly forced to act like that kind of doctor — like, say, they're on hand when someone gets hit by a car — expect them to act awkward and unsure before they save the day. In all likelihood, after all, it's been years since they had to give much thought to the treatment of physical injuries. Veterinarians would also cause this trope, as they work on animals rather than humans, although they are properly addressed as "Doctor" when working. Not to be confused with Morally Ambiguous Doctorate. See also Open Heart Dentistry and Omnidisciplinary Scientist. Compare All Monks Know Kung-Fu (which is, basically, Not That Kind Of Monk) and Not That Kind of Mage, where someone good at one form of wizardry is unskilled at another. Contrast with Super Doc, when the Doctor can heal you no matter what his field is. If the character actually complains about this, he might say some form of I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder. Note that this trope holds water only in certain languages, such as English; other languages were smart enough to create different words to distinguish between MDs and PhDs. An example would be Chinese, where the medical professionals are addressed as [Surname] yÄ«shÄ“ng while academics get [Surname] bóshì. In languages that don't have the distinction, the use of "Doctor" by non-MDs varies with culture: in English-speaking cultures it is frowned upon for someone with the title of "Doctor" to use it in a field where their title does not apply. For instance, if a Doctor of Education worked in a hospital, referring to himself as a doctor could be misleading since he has no background in medicine. But in some countries like Germany and Italy, it is almost always used. |

Dr. Eggman manages to put a rather cruel twist on this trope in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics). One of his minions confronts him about the cybernetics that were given to their crippled and diseased sister, stating that they aren't curing her like he said they would. Eggman then cheerily explains that, not being a medical doctor, he didn't know what her condition even is, but went through with it anyway because he could use the threat of letting the minion's sister die to keep them both in line. | |

In the Bleach fanfic Project Tatterdemalion, we have Dr. Yoruichi Shihouin (ecologist), Dr. Masaki Shiba (biology), Dr. Isshin Shiba (might technically be a medical doctor, but hasn't worked on anything but mice in years, so comes down to biology), Dr. Tessai Tsukabishi (physics), and Dr. Kisuke Urahara (any number of things). All research scientists- although they do manage to create a fast-and-dirty vaccine against The Virus. No medical doctors in the original group (although they do have a nurse and a paramedic). In the sequel, when (medical) Dr. Retsu Unohana arrives to treat the nurse's injuries, Yoruichi introduces herself with her specialty, to keep things clear. | |

Doctor Octopus' doctorate is not in medicine in Spider-Man: The Animated Series either, but he is able to bluff Aunt May into thinking he is one in one episode. Short version: When he and some other super-villains woking for The Kingpin are looking for Spidey, the Scorpion gets the idea to question Peter, due to the photographs he takes - Ock insists on going to his house himself to avoid any unnecessary violence. When he introduces himself to May as Doctor Otto Octavius, May panics when she hears the word "doctor" and thinks Peter has been injured. Ock is able to think fast and tell her that Peter collapsed on the street and was taken to his clinic, volunteering to take her there. (The clinic is actually owned by the Kingpin, and Ock is thus able to leave a ransom note for Peter making it seem like May has been kidnapped, demanding he send Spider-Man there.) | |

Cliff on The Cosby Show is that kind of doctor (albeit a specialist, specifically an obstetrician). One rather hilarious scene in an episode was where Rudy hurt her leg, and cried to Cliff that she wanted to see a doctor. Cliff had to remind her that he was a doctor. Making it even funnier, when Clair came home and looked at it, she panicked a little and exclaimed that they had to call a doctor, again forgetting that Cliff, who was right next to her, was a doctor. | |

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan of Bones is an anthropologist, and she is quick to correct anyone who refers to her as anything but Dr. Brennan. However, her boss, Dr. Camille 'Cam' Saroyan, is a forensic pathologist—and, thus, is that kind of doctor (though that isn't her day job). In one episode, when Brennan is introduced as Doctor Brennan to a physician, he immediately asks "M.D.?", to which she replies "Ph.D". The physician then makes a snide remark about academics, which is rather galling considering an academic doctorate is often harder, and almost always requires more time to obtain than a medical one. In addition, physicians couldn't even become physicians without Ph.D-holding professors (Biology, Chemistry, and/or Physics knowledge needed for MCATs/Med school). |

In Gotham, Dr. Leslie Thompkins, who ends up employed as the GCPD's medical examiner, starts the series as a physician in the women's wing of Arkham Asylum, and is repeatedly called on for medical services she doesn't specialize in throughout the rest of the series. She does lampshade this at least twice, though, once when she's forced to perform an emergency surgery, and once when she's trying to explain to someone who just went through a traumatic experience that she should talk to someone who's actually a trained psychiatrist. | |

In the Broad City episode "Hashtag FOMO," Trey calls Abbi to ask about the tapeworm she said she had. Abbi gives the phone to Lincoln, saying he's her doctor, but he doesn't leave a very good impression on Trey. Afterwards, Lincoln says, "I'm a dentist, not a doctor. I don't know how to deal with high-pressure situations." | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent gives us the Team Medic, Mikkel Madsen. He's emphatically not a doctor. Nor a veterinarian, for that matter. And, he flatly corrects others... while verbally dancing around what his qualifications actually are in a very subdued sort of way. He most likely has no doctorate in any particular subject, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have skills. | |

Half-Life plays with this in regards to the Black Mesa Science Team, who are doctorate holders that can also administer first aid to Gordon Freeman when he's injured. It's otherwise averted with Gordon himself and his colleagues in subsequent games, as they are physicists with no known medical knowledge. | |

In one episode, she and Jerry hit a deer, and when she expresses a wish that she had the equipment to try and save its life, he tries to comfort her by saying that, since she deals with horses, there was nothing that she could do anyway. Beth, naturally, takes that as an insult and spends the rest of the episode angrily determined to save the deer. | |

The vets in All Creatures Great And Small sometimes have clients who mistake them for traditional doctors, often under embarrassing circumstances. Tristan once went on a house-call to an infertile couple under the mistaken belief that he was going to artificially inseminate their cow. Another time a woman turned up at the surgery asking for confirmation of her pregnancy and Siegfried pretended to comply with her wishes in order to freak out Tristan and James. | |

Captain Holt tries to use this to his advantage in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode "The Box", trying to get under the skin of a murder suspect, a dentist, by saying he's not a real doctor. The dentist isn't impressed, and retorts that it's better than university professors calling themselves doctors. Holt, who is both married to a university professor and a stickler for details, takes this very seriously. | |

In Torchwood, Doctor Owen Harper is that kind of doctor.

In the last episode of Torchwood Season 2, it turns out this was because Owen was hung over that day. Tosh almost certainly has a doctorate in something. |

At the very least, he knows general medicine and dentistry. Paul Bunyan's disease seems not to be that rare in the setting given there are a group of people who hunt and kill Paul Bunyan sufferers to use their stuffed bodies as giant theme park mascots. Later in the stories we learn that Dr. McNinja might be a doctor of EVERYTHING. Except agriculture. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Most of the main and recurring characters have Doctorates in physics, with others in microbiology and neurobiology. The character Howard has a Masters in Engineering, which leads to plenty of jokes at his expense for not being a doctor. Of course, there are a few occasions where people mistake their title as being medical doctors: "A doctor doctor or your kind of doctor?" In one episode, Sheldon gives Leonard medical advice in his usual Insufferable Genius manner. Leonard sarcastically responds, "Thank you, Doctor Cooper." As usual, Sheldon doesn't get it and confusedly replies, "You're welcome, Doctor Hofstadter." In another episode, someone (a police officer) who just learned Sheldon is a doctor is reassured by Leonard with "Not the kind with access to drugs." |

There are a lot of people holding the title "doctor" around SPEAR's facilities in the Heroes of the Storm fanfic Heroes of the Desk. In one case, Dr. Kara Grimes is asked about "embiggering" tech, to which she replies, "I'm a psychologist, not a researcher." The doctors around SPEAR tend to be well-separated: doctors of medicine into specialties (averting Super Doc) and doctors of science into different fields (averting Omnidisciplinary Scientist). | |

Dr. John Henry Irons/Steel is an engineer. The issue comes up when he visits a hospital on whether it's appropriate to call him "Dr. Irons". In Christopher Priest's run, he works at a hospital, and to his embarrassment, the administrator says calling him "Dr. Irons" is good publicity. | |

Stargate: This comes up a few times, but Dr. Daniel Jackson (PhDs Archaeology, Anthropology, and Linguistics) of Stargate SG-1 is the best example, while his equivalent in Stargate Atlantis is Dr. Rodney McKay (PhDs in Physics and Mechanical Engineering; he has noted his disdain for medicine, despite becoming best friends with one medical doctor and falling in love with another). Other examples include Dr. Bill Lee, a consulting scientist for the program; it is never entirely clear what his degree is in, but it's definitely not in medicine. He usually helps with whatever scientific crisis is most at hand during that episode. A weaker example is Samantha Carter, who holds a PhD in Astrophysics and realistically could go by Dr. Carter, but due to the greater emphasis on her military role she goes by her rank instead. However, in early episodes she is occasionally called Captain Doctor. (During her introductory scene, she specifically points out to her superior Colonel Jack O'Neill that she should be referred to by her rank of Captain rather than by her salutation of Doctor. She later proceeds to introduce herself to Dr. Jackson as "Doctor", to which O'Neill quips, "I thought you wanted to be called 'Captain'.") This is played for laughs in one episode. A man who has captured SG-1 is injured, and asks Daniel to patch him up. Daniel explains that he doesn't know how. Sam ends up patching him up with a first-aid kit due to her field medical experience, despite the fact that she's Not That Kind of Doctor either. She just learned it through military training. Though normally this doesn't come up for Sam, it does occur when an alternate-timeline version of her introduces herself to the alternate version of Daniel. In "Harmony", a girl believes that Rodney should know something about, well, being a doctor. His response is similar to Daniel's above. This come up again in Rodney's panicked rant in season 5 about why he can't deliver a baby. Note that this didn't prevent Daniel from delivering a baby on two separate occasions — three if you count one mentioned off-screen. He was much more calm about it. In the first birth Sam was also looked to for help, but this could also have been because she's a woman and in that case would not necessarily be an example of this trope. A (Subverted?) example in Atlantis season 5 when Daniel is kidnapped by a new Big Bad and apparently assumed to be a physicist since he was doing research in an Ancient physics lab. (He was actually there studying the files and history.) His response in this case is that he is Not That Kind of Doctor. Fortunately, Rodney was captured with him and actually is a physicist, so they are able to solve the problem. |

Marvel Universe: Brother Voodoo (Dr. Jericho Drumm) is a psychologist. Some readers assumed when they saw him go by 'Doctor Voodoo' that the title had come along with the office of Sorcerer Supreme, which he inherited from Doctor Strange. Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom dropped out of school after his Freak Lab Accident and then proceeded to learn magic and take over a country. He never actually finished his Doctorate. No one would argue that he doesn't deserve one, but he simply never finished the coursework. Ordering the University of Latveria to give him a degree (what the fanon suggests he did) doesn't count, even though the thesis defense would have been... interesting. Tony Stark/Iron Man actually does have a doctorate, but he almost never brings it up anyway. Mercifully, his teammates in The Avengers never ask him to be That Kind of Doctor either. In Secret Wars (1984) issue #7, the Molecule Man is badly injured, and his girlfriend Volcana pleads with Dr. Octopus to do something since he's a "Doctor". Octavius replies "I'm a nuclear physicist, not an MD!", though he manages some basic stitches. Notably, he appears to have taken his above inability to practice medicine as a fault to be corrected, because by the time of Superior Spider-Man (2013), he's able to perform brain surgery to such a degree that a trained surgeon and fellow supervillain is in awe of him. Reed Richards informs Jen that she is losing her powers in The Sensational She-Hulk issue #52. She desperately begs him to come up with a cure and he responds that this is a medical and biochemical issue which falls outside his area of expertise. What is unusual about this trope is that Reed is an Omnidisciplinary Scientist, which She-Hulk lampshades. Also appears in Ultimate Spider-Man. Peter is injured in a fight and goes to Dr. Connors for help. Although he isn't an MD, as he is quick to point out, he is persuaded to treat the wound anyway. |

For a pathologist, Scully certainly does a lot of emergency/trauma type medicine on The X-Files. She even delivers a baby in one episode. Justified in that Scully is that kind of doctor. She has an MD and was recruited to the FBI from medical school to become a pathologist. Even if she did not specialize in emergency/trauma medicine, she still has all the basic knowledge of human anatomy and medicine that any other medical doctor would have. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor: Darcy Lewis is a scientist interning with a team of astrophysicists, but is not very helpful to them, being a political scientist. Later subverted in WandaVision, where it's revealed that in the intervening years, she did switch her study and is now a doctor of astrophysics, which is exactly what the situation requires, though her political science major still has payoff. Discussed when Dr. Selvig and Coulson talk about "Dr. Donald Blake" (Thor's human alias). Selvig claims that "Donald" is a physicist, but the Son of Coul points out that "Donald" is M.D. in his ID. Inverted with Dr. Bruce Banner, as while he's a physicist, he is seen practicing medicine in the slums of Calcutta at the start of The Avengers. However, The Stinger for Iron Man 3 has Bruce say the line verbatim to Tony Stark, who has been telling the entire story of the movie to him as if Bruce were his psychotherapist. Bruce however has fallen asleep and missed the whole thing. Bruce gives this trope, but then Stark starts to ramble on about his Freudian issues. Thor: Ragnarok does confirm that he has seven Ph.Ds; unfortunately for him, none of them are for driving alien spaceships. |

The Venture Brothers: Rusty Venture is usually called "Doctor Venture", even though he dropped out of school after his father died. He does possess a doctorate, but he prefers not to bring up where he got it from (it's an honorary doctorate from a Tijuana community college). Dr. Orpheus (whose official credentials are a major in Communication with a minor in Women's Studies from a community college yet claims to have received his doctorate from "a higher power") is the only character to always call Dr. Venture "Mr. Venture." The causes and implications of this are unknown. The only characters known for certain to have a real doctorate are Doctor Henry Killinger, whose doctorate is Child Psychology, and Jonas Jr., who earned two of them only a few months after escaping from Dr. Venture's bowels. Billy earns a forged doctorate after performing heart surgery on a supervillain, though it's suggested that he does have enough skill to get the degree legitimately. After The Monarch has a severe allergic reaction to a gourmet meal, his wife Dr. Mrs. The Monarch tells him she can't help, as she's not a doctor. When he asks why he called her Dr. Girlfriend during the years when they dated, she clarifies that she's "not that kind of doctor." Though her actual doctorate is never clearly stated, she's noted to be a physicist and engineer (which fits with her status as a Gadgeteer Genius). |

Lots of characters in Mass Effect, including but not limited to: Dr. Liara T'Soni (archaeology) Dr. Rana Thanoptis (neuroscience) Dr. Saleon (genetics, possibly transplant medicine - but then he was a Mad Scientist anyway) Dr. Mordin Solus (genetics, biochemistry - though he does run a clinic). He's also a Professor. Dr. Okeer (genetics) Hilariously, Dr. Conrad Verner, whose dissertation was on xeno-technology and dark energy integration. One of these creates an odd inversion of Not That Kind Of Doctor. During the suicide mission, Mordin is a candidate for the Tech Specialist position. Try to use him in that regard, however, and he's guaranteed to die. "I'm a doctor, not a hacker." In "From Ashes", one squadmate asks Liara if she's ever dug up a dinosaur on one of her digs. She starts explaining the difference between archaeology and palaeontology, then realizes that they're joking (except James, who just likes dinosaurs). |

Star Trek: Doctors McCoy, Crusher, Pulaski, Bashir, the EMH, and Phlox are definitely that kind of doctor. To emphasize the Mildly Military nature of Starfleet, it is apparently not appropriate to address them by their rank (if any). Further, as a psychiatrist, Deanna Troi is likely a Doctor as well, sort of that kind. Troi's title is Counselor, meaning she probably filled the role of a guidance counselor of sorts to the crew (more of a psychologist's job, and while they are doctors in the Ph.D. sense, her empathic nature helped her more than her training). Also, the official medical doctors all were required to learn multiple alien anatomies as well as forensics and other analysis. McCoy is pretty dependent on his lab in the original, but in space the doctors have to be able to cope with an emergency. After all, Klingon anatomy has double- or triple-redundancies to keep them fighting and Vulcans have their heart in their abdominal cavity, so why risk being underprepared? Surprisingly, McCoy admitted in "Journey to Babel" that he's really not very experienced with performing surgery on Vulcans, and would rather not risk the life of Spock's father by having to do the operation himself. As he explains, he is technically trained to do it, he knows where all the organs are - but that's no substitute for years of hands-on surgical experience. In short, he's a generalist for an entire multi-species crew, but realistically he'd rather let a specialist do it. All of these doctors (aside from Phlox, who's not an actual member of Starfleet, and Voyager's Doctor, who's a hologram) do have ranks, designated on their uniforms. McCoy was a Lt. Commander, for example. Troi, who does not wear a uniform, held the rank of Lt. Commander for most of the show and got a Hand Wave of not wanting to intimidate her clients because she out-ranked them. (Granted, what she was wearing instead was probably off-putting in other ways…) Crusher was a Commander. Bashir was a Lieutenant. Medical doctors in Starfleet don't get addressed by their rank, probably because they are not (usually) considered part of the "command" crew as such (not physically part of the "bridge" crew) and are thus relatively low in the official chain of command - in terms of succeeding as Acting Captain if the current Captain is killed, incapacitated, or missing. While McCoy is technically a Lt. Commander, both Lt. Sulu and Lt. Uhura are actually ahead of him in succession to the captain's chair. Even Voyager's Doctor eventually got a DLC turning him into the Emergency Command Hologram, temporarily replacing his medical database with a tactical one (and yes, he was able to use it effectively, employing a Shoot the Bullet tactic used once by a Romulan commander to disable two enemy ships). |

In Chapter 2 of Jenny and the Multiverse, the confusion is intentionally invoked to self-serving ends by Laura (whose degrees are actually in physics and engineering) to get Jenny to tell her about some revealing dreams she had under the guise of therapy.

Transformers: Prime: Ratchet is the medic of the Autobots and very knowledgeable about biology and medicine...but only Cybertronian-based, which is a far cry from human biology and medicine. Part of it has to do with the fact he never thought he'd need to know it, as the Autobots were hiding on Earth from the majority of the population and he himself isn't really a big fan. This almost comes back to bite him when Raf, a human who has become friends with the Autobots and a part of the team, ends up getting dangerously sick thanks to exposure to Dark Energon and he has no idea how to help him, and the day is only saved by Jack's mother, who is a nurse. | |

Almost all the Sparks in Girl Genius are that kind of doctor. Except for Agatha, because they wouldn't let her take the tests. Which is actually justified. When she wanted to be a doctor, she had her locket on, which acted as a damper for all of her senses, making her very clumsy. Presumably, if she had tried to be a doctor, bad things would have happened. | |

Hogan's Heroes has the boys helping many doctors of science to escape from the Nazis lest their knowledge be used to further the German war effort. In almost every case, it was made clear that their doctorates were in scientific fields like physics, chemistry, metallurgy and others. One example, however, stands out - the episode "The Assassin," when General Burkhalter brings a Dr. Vanetti to camp. At first Klink thinks he is a physician, but the General quickly corrects him quoting the trope name word for word. Although it is never stated outright what his doctorate is in, Hogan quickly deduces that he must be a doctor of atomic physics. | |

Inverted with Dr. Bruce Banner, as while he's a physicist, he is seen practicing medicine in the slums of Calcutta at the start of The Avengers. However, The Stinger for Iron Man 3 has Bruce say the line verbatim to Tony Stark, who has been telling the entire story of the movie to him as if Bruce were his psychotherapist. Bruce however has fallen asleep and missed the whole thing. Bruce gives this trope, but then Stark starts to ramble on about his Freudian issues. Thor: Ragnarok does confirm that he has seven Ph.Ds; unfortunately for him, none of them are for driving alien spaceships. | |

In M*A*S*H, Hawkeye, Trapper, Frank, Henry, B.J., Charles, and Colonel Potter—pretty much all the male officers, not counting occasional visitors—were all that kind of doctor. Dr. Sidney Freedman is a psychiatrist, and therefore, is that kind of doctor, but it's not his occupation. In a crisis he's forced to help out in the O.R., over his protestations that "medical school was a long time ago." Before he agrees to help in the OR, Freedman mentions that the last surgery he performed was lancing a boil on his kid's butt. Inverted in a couple of episodes where the doctors do veterinary medicine. When he has to treat Colonel Potter's horse; B.J. calls a vet he knows stateside for a consult. |

The DCU: According to the fact file at the back of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold comic, even though Dr. Cyber is an Omnidisciplinary Scientist, her actual doctorate is in literature. The original Doctor Fate was a doctor of archaeology and actually did earn a medical license at once point. Most of the subsequent Doctor Fates weren't doctors at all, they'd just inherited the name. That said, one of them was a psychoanalyst, while another was a medical student. The trope name is spoken word for word in Injustice: Gods Among Us when Harley Quinn is trying to save a talking chimp and asks Doctor Fate for help. Harley, who actually did go to medical school, then tells Mister Fate to take the chimp's human friend out of the room while she starts to work on him. The fact that Harley got her degree in psychiatry through blackmail is lost on her, of course. One-shot Justice League of America foe Dr. Julian September is a physicist. He is not mistaken for a doctor of medicine, but an official who doesn't want to reapprove of his funding makes a quip about September fixing his jeep, since he works in quantum mechanics. Shortly after, Dr September's work first paid off, when the official was struck by lightning before he could sign the paper that would have stopped September's work. Dr. John Henry Irons/Steel is an engineer. The issue comes up when he visits a hospital on whether it's appropriate to call him "Dr. Irons". In Christopher Priest's run, he works at a hospital, and to his embarrassment, the administrator says calling him "Dr. Irons" is good publicity. |

In Futurama, amazingly Doctor Zoidberg, who has declared people dead when they have been sitting up and talking, and diagnosed robots with fin-rot, DOES have a doctorate. It is a doctorate in Art History. A reversal in that it's only Zoidberg himself who doesn't seem to realize that this doesn't qualify him to be a medical doctor. An episode from the Un-Cancelled seasons reveals that Zoidberg is in fact That Kind Of Doctor... but his field of medical study is xenobiology, meaning that while he's a brilliant surgeon when it comes to all sorts of alien races, he doesn't know squat about human beings. It also reveals that Professor Farnsworth keeps him around in spite of this because they're True Companions. |

The West Wing: Josiah Bartlet is a Doctor of Economics. Of course, he also has another title by which he prefers to be addressed throughout the series. It does, however, give him a minor moment of awesome when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court — not a fan of his — snidely refers to him as "Mr. Bartlet". His wife, Abby, is That Kind Of Doctor. However, she loses her license to practice throughout the remainder of his term once her role in his keeping his multiple sclerosis from the American people is revealed. Shows up in one episode, where President Bartlet tears a conservative radio personality to shreds. At the beginning of their conversation, he asks her what exactly her doctorate is in (it's English literature). More to the point, he initially asks her if she is an M.D., forcing her to clarify that she is not. |

The CSI-verse has two ex-doctors. CSI had Dr. Ray Langston and CSI: NY has Dr. Sheldon Hawkes. Both have ended up giving emergency care a time or two. Hawkes even helps with a bicycle first aid team in the park. Of course, the medical examiners (Robbins, Hammerback) are also doctors, but don't practice medicine. Doc Robbins has occasionally been shown to do things medically related - while Grissom was losing his hearing, Doc Robbins gave him regular check-ups to make sure Grissom was attending to his health. He also delivered a baby by C-section once, with Nick at the scene of a teen-age girl's death. |

Tony says he was probably an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist but Strange is a neurosurgeon, for the record. | |

Dr. Loboto from Psychonauts is a dentist (supposedly), hired to perform brain surgery. Of course, not knowing jack about brain surgery doesn't necessarily stop him from performing it. Lampshaded in his first appearance: | |

Oglaf: Naveen declares herself a doctor, despite having very little idea what a doctor is, her most obvious misunderstanding being the belief that a doctor's job is to solve mysteries, go on adventures, and get laid. Most people seem to buy it, even though her cure for everything is leeching above all, sex, and draining blood so she can drink it. "I'm a dentist, not a fight wizard!!" Subverted, since his dentist power actually does save the day. |

Exaggerated in Bean. While standing around waiting in the hospital, a nurse notices the "Dr. Bean" label on his suit and rushes him into a surgery. Bean is too taken aback to correct her, but then again, he isn't even a non-medical doctor (he spends the entire film being mistaken for a professor of art history). | |

In Clue, Professor Plum, a psychiatrist, is called upon to determine what killed Mr. Boddy and immediately protests, "I am not a forensic expert!" This gets turned around on him in one ending, as Plum had inspected Mr. Boddy and declared that Boddy was dead when in fact the man was still alive. Wadsworth points out that psychiatrists have more than enough medical knowledge and training to be able to tell whether someone is alive or dead, (in the modern era, psychiatrists are medical doctors in addition to psychologists, which is why they have the ability to prescribe drug treatments) so Plum must have known that Boddy was still alive even though he said otherwise. Wadsworth concludes this is because Plum wanted to kill Boddy himself. | |

Thor: Darcy Lewis is a scientist interning with a team of astrophysicists, but is not very helpful to them, being a political scientist. Later subverted in WandaVision, where it's revealed that in the intervening years, she did switch her study and is now a doctor of astrophysics, which is exactly what the situation requires, though her political science major still has payoff. Discussed when Dr. Selvig and Coulson talk about "Dr. Donald Blake" (Thor's human alias). Selvig claims that "Donald" is a physicist, but the Son of Coul points out that "Donald" is M.D. in his ID. |

Dave expresses surprise that Marconi is "that kind of doctor." However, when Dave later observes Marconi tending patients while smoking a pipe, he has doubts that Marconi has any medical training.

When asked how much use he could possibly get out of it when his job is mowing down people with a minigun, he replied, "More than you'd think." The Engineer has eleven "hard science" doctorates.

Octavius replies "I'm a nuclear physicist, not an MD!", though he manages some basic stitches. Notably, he appears to have taken his above inability to practice medicine as a fault to be corrected, because by the time of Superior Spider-Man (2013), he's able to perform brain surgery to such a degree that a trained surgeon and fellow supervillain is in awe of him. | |

In Cabin Pressure, the episode "Boston", a passenger dies of a heart attack on an airplane. Whilst trying to decide whether to divert or not, the pilots notice there's a doctor on board and start requesting ever more urgently that any person with medical training come to the flight deck. As no one comes, they start speaking of a "hypothetical doctor" with a hypothetical sandy mustache hypothetically sitting in the seventh row. The man eventually comes, and recommends a bridge. A tunnel’s obviously out of the question, but if they really need to get past the passenger, they could use a couple of drinks trolleys and a stretcher to rig up a rudimentary cantilever bridge. That at least is his professional opinion as a PhD in civil engineering, assuming one of them hasn't made some sort of really embarrassing mistake. | |

Sam & Max: Freelance Police has Momma Bosco, who got her doctorate online - as a ghost. She's technically more of an inventor, though she still prefers the 'doctor' title. To prevent confusion with her son, who is just 'Bosco', she prefers 'Dr. Momma Bosco'. | |

In the South Park parody of The Core, Randy is recruited by Cartman as the team's requisite scientist. When they finally get to their destination in the middle of a miles-wide hippie drum circle, Randy proves to be completely useless in their situation because he's a geologist. | |

Dr. Jean Poule of The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! is a biologist with a PhD in polymicrofragilistic monoclonalexpialidocious. Being a biologist is hardly useless in a medical situation, but she's the first to admit she is not a medical doctor. | |

The protagonist of Youth in Sexual Ecstasy after acquiring an STD, looks for a doctor to get treated, he finds the card of a specialist in "sexual dysfunctions" (sex therapist) and goes to him to get treated, luckily for him the doctor already had a background on medicine and biology; The doctor later points out what his specialization really means. | |

Doctor Strange is a trained (though not currently practicing) surgeon. Specifically, he was a neurosurgeon, but an accident left his hands unable to hold a scalpel steady enough to do the fine manipulation necessary for such delicate surgery. On the occasions when he does show his medical chops, he tends to be better and more versatile than a specialist decades out of practice should be, though he'll usually quip that he hasn't been that kind of doctor for a long time. The movie version actually has multiple Ph.D. and M.D. degrees. | |

The original Doctor Fate was a doctor of archaeology and actually did earn a medical license at once point. Most of the subsequent Doctor Fates weren't doctors at all, they'd just inherited the name. That said, one of them was a psychoanalyst, while another was a medical student. The trope name is spoken word for word in Injustice: Gods Among Us when Harley Quinn is trying to save a talking chimp and asks Doctor Fate for help. Harley, who actually did go to medical school, then tells Mister Fate to take the chimp's human friend out of the room while she starts to work on him. The fact that Harley got her degree in psychiatry through blackmail is lost on her, of course. | |

Reed Richards informs Jen that she is losing her powers in The Sensational She-Hulk issue #52. She desperately begs him to come up with a cure and he responds that this is a medical and biochemical issue which falls outside his area of expertise. What is unusual about this trope is that Reed is an Omnidisciplinary Scientist, which She-Hulk lampshades. | |

In the main Mega Man timeline (and nearly all fan works), being a "Doctor" doesn't invariably mean you're a medical doctor... instead, it invariably means you build robots. Notably, it means you build robots even if you have a doctorate in something else. Dr. Cain, for instance, has a background in archaeology and botany, and still invented reploids. Which may well explain their tendency to go crazy and try to take over and/or destroy the world. | |

Frasier has an aversion: Dr. Frasier Crane and his brother Niles are both That Kind Of Doctor, despite frequently (and amusingly) being mistaken for Not. Possibly a borderline case, since psychiatrists (MDs who complete residencies and board certification in mental illness) are commonly conflated with non-MD-holding mental health professionals such as psychologists and social workers. It doesn't help that Frasier and Niles are usually seen helping people with personal drama, bad habits, and relationship issues, which is, usually, a counselor or social worker's job. Frasier uses his Ivy-league education to feed his minor celebrity status while Niles seems to care more about maintaining his lifestyle and social status. The joke may be that no one takes psychiatry seriously, or that nobody takes them seriously because they're more concerned with money and reputation than helping people with serious mental illness. One episode actually has Frasier, being more pompous than usual, insisting his medical degree (from Harvard, thank you!) qualifies him to tell actual, working-in-a-hospital doctors how to perform extremely advanced surgery. Eventually, they hit on a solution: Just ignore him. Lampshaded in one episode of Cheers, where Frasier looks at a bar patron's injured leg and tells him how to treat it, then turns to Lilith and says, "See? I could have been a 'real doctor'!" |
