A monster of some type who works in a profession their own dietary needs and compulsions make extremely difficult and unexpected. The individual in question may be a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire struggling with the fact that Warm Bloodbags Are Everywhere for them, someone who has enough control to use such a job to better disguise what they are or even someone who has found a way to take advantage of their job for personal gain. They might have overcome the temptation of their Horror Hunger and are using a position helping those they naturally consider food as penance for consuming people in the past, or are part of a wider community using their position to help their fellow monsters such as by acquiring blood donated for medical use. Not to be confused with someone Supporting the Monster Loved One. |

Tales from the Crypt: In "The Reluctant Vampire", the main character, Mr. Longtooth, works at a blood bank, though as a security guard. He does know some medical procedures though like asking if a person has taken drugs or has any diseases and what not and managed to refill the so-called missing quota the bank seems to be going through. | |

Arknights: Warfarin is one of Rhodes Island's resident doctors and combat medics. She (naturally) specializes in hematology, and has authored many landmark books on the subject. In normal circumstances she is professional enough to separate "work and food." However, when confronted with unusual blood, like that of the Doctor or any of the Abyssal Hunters, she starts showing Mad Scientist tendencies, and before she was reigned in by her superiors she would frequently experiment on other Rhodes Island Operators. In combat her talents come out in the form of being able to boost the offensive power of herself and a random Operator in her healing range at the cost of constant life loss. | |

Parodied in Scrubs. It comes out in one episode that J.D. has written a screenplay about a vampire doctor called ''Dr. Acula". He takes a blood sample the usual vampire way: by sucking the blood from the patient and spitting it into the test tube. He also diagnoses the patient through tasting the blood. | |

The Tomb of Dracula: Dr. Deacon Frost, the doctor summoned to help Blade's mother during childbirth, was really a vampire. He was in the process of draining her when Blade was born, resulting in Blade having vampire enzymes in his bloodstream that made him a Dhampir and immune to most vampiric powers. | |

The Dresden Files: Thomas Raith gets a job where he poses as a gay hairdresser in order to feed on non-harmful bits of his clients' emotions without harming anyone, save himself. This level of feeding leaves him constantly starved but is just enough that he can keep his Hunger in check and not give in and feed more deeply on anyone or manipulate their emotions so that they want him to. | |

Multiple such monsters appear in Supernatural: In "Something Wicked", the Monster of the Week is a shtriga (a spirit that feeds on life force) that uses its sinister powers to hospitalize and feed upon the life force of various children while posing as a doctor trying to cure them. In "Sam, Interrupted", a wraith poses as a nurse at a mental hospital, taking full advantage of the fact that the patients there are supposedly 'insane' so that she can feed on them without having to at all worry about anyone believing her targets' attempts at warning others about her actions. In "The Purge", a Peruvian fat-sucking monster called a Pishtaco works at a fitness center and takes advantage of the fact she feeds on human fat to harmlessly feed by giving people special treatments at a spa. Her brother, also an employee, also attempts to take part in such a style of feeding, but ends up unable to keep control of himself while feeding. |

Vampyr (2018): Jonathan Reid, the main character, is a doctor specialized in blood transfusions and has been turned into a vampire shortly before the start of the game. He can see people's health conditions using his Vein-o-Vision. The best way to level yourself up quickly is by feasting on any of the unique civilian NPCs. They all have placards over their heads showing how much experience they're worth, so it tempts the player as much as the thirst tempts Jonathan. | |

A Robot Chicken sketch involves vampires taking over TV media. One of their shows was about a hospital where all the doctors and nurses are vampires. They try to treat a patient by giving him a blood transfusion, but since they're, well, vampires, they keep drinking all of it. Ultimately, they just decided to drain the patient of his blood, instantly turning him in the process. | |

Soon there is evidence that a vampire is on the loose, and Carroll seeks the aid of his colleague, Dr. Blake. They find that Nicolle is the vampire. Following Blake's advice, Carroll kills Nicolle. When the police come to arrest Carroll for his wife's murder, Blake denies giving any such advice. As the police take Carroll away, Blake says to himself that the city isn't big enough for two doctors or two vampires, and he turns into a bat. | |

Regis from The Witcher books introduces himself as a village medic and herbalist when Geralt first meets him, but is eventually revealed to be a Vegetarian Vampire. All the herbs he always has with him are mainly there to prevent dogs and other animals from picking up his vampiric scent — although he has also become a legitimately good doctor after decades, if not centuries, of practice. | |
