No Right Answer: Best TV Doctor

Doctor House would kill the majority of his patients in real life just by virtue of testing them to death. This isn't simple conjecture on my part. This is based on what real doctors have said of the show.
That, and I know people, who aren't doctors, who regularly make a game of beating House to the diagnosis just by using medical search engines. They usually win.

For those saying Doctor Who, I wouldn't really want the Doctor as my medical caregiver. For one, he doesn't seem to have all that much medical experience, and secondly, a lot of people around him die or are put into horrible situations. Just saying.
In on-topic terms of best TV doctor, I'd go with Cox myself. House is so completely unrealistic that, if I saw him or someone like him working as a doctor in a hospital, I'd likely go to a different hospital. One more argument against him that was missed was that he wouldn't mind putting you through intense physical and mental pain just to find an answer. Nor would he really care if you lived or died as long as he found out what was wrong with you before it happened.
Cox, while fairly unrealistic as well I think, is much more realistic about his goals. Yes, he might know that if he's treating you, you'll likely die. He's also more likely to try his hardest to heal you, even getting his army of minions to work on your case as well. Plus I could laugh at his antics with his staff.
Going the really non-realistic route, I think Tony-Tony chopper would be a good one. As others have said, he follows anime-rules for healing. A little rest can pretty much heal anything in those types of shows.

its going to be sickening how many people will say "the Doctor" is the best doctor when his title is more educational rather than medical.
Anyway, I would say dr. Crusher. why? cause then you're going to get to hang out on the Enterprise, and she doesnt lose a patient (usually) they usually come to her dead.
EDIT: also, house has lost patients. Im rather sure he lost the black girl who had the building fall on her, I know he lost the guy who brought his dog in with hi, and I think he's lost a few more.

You guys should definantly do a Dr. Who episode. Tom Baker is a must to be on one side, And i would like to see Matt Smith or Christopher Eccleston on the other side. Though you'll probably go with David Tennant as the other if you do the episode since he was extremely popular as the character... Though for me I never really felt that David Tennant was actually playing the Doctor but a human who was filling his shoes for a time. Don't get me wrong I the show when was in it.(except the Season with Martha. They did a horrible job writing her.) I just didn't think he was playing the Doctor. One of the things that makes The Doctor The Doctor is his tons of quarks it shows his alien side of him.Firefilm said:
David Tennant didn't have a lot these, His character was too serious and too human. Matt Smith on the other hand is extremely quarky, but lacks that serious side of the Doctor. It's is almost like he was making up for lack of quirks of his predecessor. My favorite of the New Doctors is Christopher Eccleston. He had the right balance, between his serious side, and his quarks. It's a shame he only signed on for one season, because I would have liked to see him play the Doctor at least one more season.
Oh on to the topic, I say House is the better Medical Doctor, however I wouldn't want to ever be seen by him. Since I do not ever want to be that sick to be seen by him.
Really? I thought Tennant was over flowing with quirk compared to Eccleston. Most of the time when I think back to the first season I end up thinking Tennant was in it.darkbshadow said:
