    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.

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

      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?

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

            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.

              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.

          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.

            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.

              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.
