Name a TV doctor you'd want as your doctor [View all]

Martin Ellingham in Doc Martin. He's rude, aloof, has a poor bedside manner but he's great at diagnosing what's wrong with you. He doesn't put up with fools or idiots even if they're his fellow doctors but he does care about is patients even if he doesn't show it.

I've had a number of doctors being in the military and being retired receiving my medical care at a Navy clinic. Most have been very good and there's been one or two who hardly talked to you. The one I have now is great! I can put up with rudeness if the person is good at their profession and cares.
