Shots. Physicals. Pills. Prescriptions. Long waits.
No one likes to visit the doctor. Not in real life, that is.
On television, however, some of our most pleasant experiences each week take place while watching those in a white coat, whether they are making us laugh, swoon or squirm.
For the following physicians, we'd gladly book a trip to the hospital. STAT!
1. Mindy Lahiri
Yes, she's an OB. But few physicians would put any patient at ease as well as Mindy Lahiri. She has an MD in hilarity.
2. Derek Shepherd
How could we be the least bit afraid when we're lost in these McEyes?
3. Hannibal Lecter
What? What's the problem? You want a doctor with a high IQ, don't you?
4. Meredith Fell
She's willing to risk her career by using vampire blood on her patients. Now THAT'S dedication.
5. Ducky Mallard
We can't think of any medical examiner we'd rather want to solve the case of our homicide. God forbid and all that.
6. Lanie Parish
Friendly, perceptive, a supporter of Castle and Beckett from the beginning. We'd trust her with our dead bodies.
7. Tara Knowles
Tragically, this isn't possible any longer. But when she was alive, Tara could work quickly and efficiently... in any setting at all.
8. Zoe Hart
Just chatting to Zoe about her love life would distract us from what ailment brought us to the doctor in the first place.
9. Temperance Brennan
Is there a different fictional forensic anthropologist you’d prefer to lead an investigation?!?
10. Joan Watson
No longer serving as a doctor, but her investigative abilty give her a multi-skill set unmatched by nearly every other physician.
11. Doctor Who
D'uh.
12. Julius Hibbert
His laugh would put us at ease, making us think even the most severe diagnosis was easily curable.
13. Eric Gablehauser
Yes, he fired Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory. But that was awhile ago. And who doesn't love the Physics Bowl?!?
14. Fitch Cooper
We'd never want to date Dr. Fitch Cooper. But his relaxed bedside manner would put us at ease.
Did we leave anyone out? Who is your favorite fictional doctor and why? Sound off below!
