How in the heckin' is JD below a dwarf, a mad scientist tinkerer, and a random catchy band?

He is a caring, trained, and competent doctor who will put his pride and personal life aside to help a patient.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 2 weeks ago

At some points he's arguably the best diagnostician at Sacred Heard.

He arrived late to thank his trashmen, ended up letting a patient die.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

He wasn’t to blame, though he easily could’ve been. That was death was the radiologist’s fault though, IIRC.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Given the same medical technology I would place JD the highest and furthest right.

Not just because I like the character but because he truly does give a shit about his patients.

Dr. Strange should have more formal training for his surgery specialty. Did JD specialize or did he just stay in internal medicine?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Internal medicine, and then eventually started teaching medical school classes too. Yes, I did watch the shitty Scrubs final season reboot.

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So Dr. Strange is trained in neurosurgery, which is a 7 year residency compared to 3-4 years for internal medicine. He may have also done a neurosurgery fellowship for 2 years.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He definitely should be higher than J.D. if we're going just by special issues. I would rather have him overseeing my brain surgery than J.D.

But if I was in the hospital for a more common ailment, I'll take an expert in internal medicine over a neurosurgeon.

In fact, if I was in the hospital for, for example, getting poisoned by something and no one can figure out what, I'd pick an expert in internal medicine over a neurosurgeon.

JD should definitely be higher than Strange on the Y axis. He cares way more for his patients.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Dr. Strange, if he’s practicing medicine, might decide not to try and save you (he was a neurosurgeon IiRC) because it would hurt his stats.

JD would try.

I honestly can’t recall if JD specialised.

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But that’s the Y axis. Training is on the X. As a neurosurgeon, he’s had at least 2 more years of training than JD, possibly a lot more.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t know if Dr. Strange would technically be lower because he hasn’t been practicing for a long time? But I see what you mean.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's too easily distracted by seeing Tirk.

I wasn't really sure on how he spelled it. I didn't want to associate him with The Shinra.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But he did put a penny in the door.

That's always the excuse, isn't it?
