Open Heart Dentistry	comment	When a character is shot or has some other lethal wound, but the next hospital is 100 miles away or the police are after them, an alternative is needed. It doesn't matter if they find a vet or a dentist; as long as they know how to hold a needle, they will do. And they will do just fine! In most cases, not even a scar will remain. To a very limited extent this is justified, as medical doctors in different specialties do all go through basic medical trainingnote For instance, while you can't expect an eye doctor to conduct a heart or liver transplant, they can be realistically expected to diagnose a heart or epilepsy attack, provide competent first aid, stitch up a wound, assist in childbirth, and so on, and some of the skills of one discipline cross over. A bit.note In general, the more specific a procedure, the more specialized the doctor has to be (for instance, your average veterinarian is perfectly capable of sewing up a superficial wound in the skin, but won't be able to perform surgery for a shattered ankle — that latter will need an orthopedic surgeon). Oftentimes a subtrope of Closest Thing We Got, if the dentist's employed in an emergency. Compare Back-Alley Doctor, who may or may not be a licensed practitioner of medicine, but could still save your life if worst comes to worst. Compare/contrast with Super Doc when you can actually find a genuine doctor who is more like medicine's answer to the Omnidisciplinary Scientist. See also Surgeons Can Do Autopsies If They Want.

Open Heart Dentistry / int_10bc0a19	comment	Later still, in Night Watch, Vimes trusts Dr John 'Mossy' Lawn, who is a pox doctor (that is, someone who treats... ladies of negotiable affection... for the infections they contract whilst... negotiating...) with the lives of his wife and unborn child during labour, when the delivery starts going badly and the midwife is out of her depth. It's implied that Dr. Lawn had similar attitudes to Ignaz Semmelweis when it came to childbed fever. However, a doctor who specializes in treating... seamstresses would have ample practice in both pregnancy and the resulting affliction that happens after it, though apparently, this is less of a problem than you might think. (Because Vimes is a very rich man when this occurs, he rewards Dr. Lawn by helping him set up a free public hospital. Subsequent books imply that the influence of the institution have downplayed this trope over time.)

Open Heart Dentistry / int_10f67d68	comment	Father Neil daSouza is a Catholic priest who wrote five volumes of the Bless Me Father... short stories about his everyday life as a new parish curate straight out of seminary. Assigned to the wily and street-hardened Father Duddlestone, he learns quickly. Sent to a rich parishioner one day, she tearfully shows him an apparently dead canary and asks if there is anything Father Neil can do for it. (Compare this to James Herriot's story of dealing with a dead cagebird, elsewhere in this section.) Nonplussed, Da Souza read a random prayer in Latin and sprinkled holy water over the bird. He attributes its recovery and bursting into song to the shock of the cold water...

In the first game, Alan Probe is a humble pizza delivery boy who discovers he has an incredible knack for surgery — but since he's not an actual doctor he has to practice in his van or apartment and merely improvise his surgical tools. The sequel features a half-senile 70-year-old Probe called back into the saddle.

Introduced as a medical examiner, it seems that later decisions to visit him for treatment are strangepotentially Medical examiners in real life need medical degrees anyway, so any given medical examiner is qualified to work on living people as well as the dead. In fact, in many places around the world, medical examiners are basically first trained as pathologists, which is often seen as one of the hardest and most prestigious branches of medicine, even if they mostly work with the dead.. In fact, Knox had originally been a highly skilled physician but after taking part in medical experiments on captive Ishvalans he felt he was only fit to handle the dead.

Open Heart Dentistry / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: People who actually know what they're doing don't go to a doctor for major medical problems, they go to a vet. The logic is thus: If a doctor isn't good, they usually just have a dead patient. But if a vet isn't good, they usually have a rich, furious, mafioso racing horse owner with lots of hired muscle and little patience (or worse, if the mafioso in question is Chrysophrase the troll) to deal with. Hence why horse vet "Doughnut Jimmy" Folsom is regarded as one of the best doctors in the city, despite his tendency to act as if all of his patients are horses, regardless of their actual species. Later in the continuity, they start going to Igors. When someone is trained to stitch together dead body parts into living monsters, stitching someone's lost arm back onto the body it belongs to is much, much easier. Later still, in Night Watch, Vimes trusts Dr John 'Mossy' Lawn, who is a pox doctor (that is, someone who treats... ladies of negotiable affection... for the infections they contract whilst... negotiating...) with the lives of his wife and unborn child during labour, when the delivery starts going badly and the midwife is out of her depth. It's implied that Dr. Lawn had similar attitudes to Ignaz Semmelweis when it came to childbed fever. However, a doctor who specializes in treating... seamstresses would have ample practice in both pregnancy and the resulting affliction that happens after it, though apparently, this is less of a problem than you might think.

Until Sergeant Robert Barone tries to take charge of his sister-in-law's pregnancy scare and attempts to rush her to the hospital. He only succeeds in getting stuck in a traffic jam on Queensboro Bridge and, faced with delivering Debra's baby, flounders terribly. Ray is of no help.

Justified by the fact that his assistants are more or less medically trained and his knowledge of Bizarre Alien Biology is a vital part of what keeps the clinic up and running. (Not to mention that he also occasionally shoots the mercs that try to disturb the clinic's work). Choosing him as the tech specialist during the suicide mission is also this and WILL get him killed. This is probably justified because Mordin is an Omnidisciplinary Scientist that also handles your tech and weapons upgrades when you recruit him. Treating a clinic's standard patients would probably be a cakewalk for him, and his recruitment mission involves dispensing a cure he created for a plague that is ravaging the clinic's neighborhood. He can even sing! In Noveria in the first game, the injured survivors in Peak 15 are being seen to by the facility's microbiologist. As he notes he has a doctorate, but not in medicine.

Of course, in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Dr. McCoy's lack of medical knowledge about Klingons dooms Chancellor Gorkon and lands McCoy and Kirk in prison. That being said, McCoy successfully cured a rock once (a wounded Horta, to be precise). He realized that he was way out of his depth, having no training in silicon-based biology, but covered a phaser wound with plaster —the silicon equivalent of a bandage. Dr. Phlox from Star Trek: Enterprise also gives Captain Archer's beagle regular check-ups. Justified because Phlox uses lots of animals as a source for curative substances, so he presumably learned how to properly care for and treat them, too.

Open Heart Dentistry / int_8d814070	comment	MAS*H: The doctors will attempt to bring in a specialist if a patient has a particularly complex issue, but circumstances often mean that it's simply not possible. In many cases, one of the unit's four main doctors will end up having to perform a highly specialized procedure that may be completely outside their primary area of expertise. In addition, the nurses will also take on some of the work that would ideally be given to a doctor, and even non-medical personnel have occasionally been called to assist in surgery when the situation was particularly dire. In situations where they were especially shorthanded or overloaded, head nurse Margaret Houlihan occasionally performed some of the less complicated surgical procedures, like closing a patient's incision(s) after surgery. In later seasons, it became more common for the nurses to handle procedures of this type so that the doctors could focus on the more difficult procedures, allowing them to move the wounded through more quickly. In one episode, every doctor except Hawkeye is taken out of commission by the flu, as are a number of the support staff. When a load of wounded arrives, Hawkeye (who is himself ill by this point) ends up pressing pretty much every unit member still standing, including company clerk Radar, into service. (The jobs of the non-medical personnel were usually limited to "hold this" or "hand me that", but those are still people whose jobs usually don't entail any direct involvement in surgeries.) Inverted in episodes when the surgeons offered medical care to animals, like Radar's various pets or the shrapnel-injured cow whose calf they delivered. In another episode, Father Mulcahy, the chaplain, has to perform an emergency tracheotomy on a wounded soldier, guided by Hawkeye over the radio. He succeeds.

Also, during Jack's operation, Bernard seemed mostly in charge of giving Juliet tools and applying Jack's anesthesia. As a dentist, Bernard would plausibly have more experience with that latter job than most other doctors who aren't surgeons.

The staff do what they can with supplies meant for very large dogs, but he dies before an ambulance arrives to take him to some human doctors. The detectives are taken aback when the vet gives them a precise description of the man's injuries; he explains this as having "x-ray hands" due to treating patients that can't talk. Truth in Television, as vets in most states are legally permitted and morally obliged to help injured humans until someone better qualified to treat people can take over.

Open Heart Dentistry / int_c0d295c4	comment	The official Team Fortress 2 webcomic has this. The team is split up after being fired when Grey Mann takes control of Mann Co., and each has gone their separate ways. When Miss Pauling tries to gather up the team, she finds Soldier, Pyro, and Demoman, and has to drive them around in her car. Soldier and Pyro behave like children and do the "This Is My Side" thing in the back of the car. Pyro doesn't approve of Soldier being on his side. Without the Medic, they have to resort to a roadside veterinarian to reattach his hand. Soldier seems perfectly fine with this and it's the vet who looks positively traumatized by the whole affair. In all fairness, Soldier is crazy.

When one of its staff needs an alien-Virus-infected limb amputated, a zoologist is tasked to perform the emergency surgery because he's a better choice than the geologist or botanist: at least he's probably held a scalpel before, if only for dissections.

Despite being one of the best bird doctors and the best dinosaur doctor in the world, the most he's able to do is give Malcolm morphine and try and keep the wounds clean and closed; and he outright says Malcolm will die if he can't be evacuated within a day. Presumably he's also the one treating Malcolm in the movie, where he does a much better job.

Seeing that the guy won't make it, they find the nearest person with a medical degree, who happens to be a dentist. The man points out that he has no idea how to help the suspect. He injects the then-legal cocaine to calm down the guy but has to do it in his mouth, as he has never injected a syringe anywhere else. The guy dies while a desperate van Alden, uh, accelerates his questioning under these conditions. Played relatively straight in season 3. Samuel Crawford is called in to treat a man who has been shot in the stomach. He is a medical student still two years from graduation and this is the type of operation that normally requires a proper hospital and a skilled surgeon. He is forced to operate out of a kitchen and use whiskey as an anesthetic. Luckily the bullet did not hit any vital organs and Samuel manages to extract it and sew up the wound. He then explains that the patient might still die from complications if he is not taken to a proper hospital.

Open Heart Dentistry / int_c8996787	comment	On Discovery Health's Untold Stories of the E.R., one episode featured a med student with a background in biochemistry and pharmacology who ended up delivering a baby — rather, watching in shock while a nurse delivered the baby. A family with the mother in labor walks into the wrong section of the hospital, where the med student is, and the instructor orders him to help the woman. He had been a resident for 4 days and didn't even know where the emergency room was. It is worth noting that, barring complications, delivering a baby is pretty straightforward. Anyone with even basic first aid training is more than up to the task unless the delivery encounters complications that are not immediately apparent.

He'll treat more human injuries in a pinch, but the characters go to him for anything more supernaturally based.

Maturin is one of few actual physicians in the Royal Navy, and can (unlike most Navy surgeons) be trusted to do more than amputate limbs and pull teeth, meaning that most medical men he meets defer to him. Maturin is not only a physician, but also a zoologist of some renown, and has a very good handle on anatomy in general. Maturin is usually the only medical professional in range when Sophie is at sea, and finally, other physicians readily acknowledge that Maturin is very, very good.

As it is, the proper veterinary clinic is too far away and the goat has to be taken to Rampart Hospital instead over the vociferous objections of Dr. Brackett, who has to be talked into treating the goat. As it is, a vet from Animal Control guides the Rampart surgeons over the phone and Dr. Early happens to have enough animal training to avoid using the wrong drugs. On a later episode, the paramedics are on an isolated island with the one bridge out and thus they are the medical staff around except for one doctor, who is a psychiatrist. With radio contact with Rampart Hospital, she still proves an asset under the circumstances until Dr. Morton can be flown in to take over. Not as far-fetched as it might sound; a psychiatrist is a full M.D. with a specialty in diagnosing and treating mental illnesses.
