The only reason that I'm "OK" with visiting the Dr. is because I secretly hope they'll resemble George Clooney or Mr. McDreamy. We glamorize the world of the ER and trauma units, but boy-it is interesting, even if it's a little bit of "fact-tion." Who's YOUR favorite FAKE Doc???
Dr. Izzie Stevens
Izzie grew up in nearby Chehalis, Washington living in a trailer park with her mother, who nicknamed her “Cricket”. Izzie worked as a waitress as a teenager and had savings for college, but her mother spent all of their money calling psychics, so Izzie ended up paying the vast majority of their bills with her own money. This caused their estranged relationship. At 16, she gave birth to a daughter whom she subsequently gave up for adoption, as she wanted a better life for her daughter than she could give her at 16. When Izzie turned 18, she left home. Her daughter was adopted by a presumably upper-class family that once lived in Santa Barbara. The daughter was named Hannah by the adoptive parents. Izzie donated bone marrow to save Hannah, who was suffering from leukemia. Izzie paid her way through medical school at University of Washington as a lingerie model for a fictional lingerie company called Bethany Whisper (a play off Victoria’s Secret). She also worked as a candy striper before her arrival at Seattle Grace.
IZZIE’S BEST TV MOMENT: Gripping to her fiance as he died while “Chasing Cars” played in the background.
Dr. Jack Shepard
…he doesn’t look like a Dr. and he may be “LOST” but he IS sexy.
Eddie Murphy as Dr. Dolittle
Everyone loves talking animals and remakes.
Dr. Seuss
The greatest RHYMING Dr. of ALL TIME. Any Dr. that prescribes a few doses of “one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish” is the kind of Dr. who knows how to cure, for sure.
Patch Adams
Even though Patch Adams was a real-life Dr. having ROBIN WILLIAMS as a Dr is a completely different story, no Dr. could compare to him.
Dr. Maggie Rice
Even though the movie REALLY left me PISSED OFF (who wasn’t angry at the end of this movie????) Meg Ryan managed to play her usual affable, loving character and this time as a Dr.
Dr. Heathcliff "Cliff" Huxtable
Who wouldn’t want Bill Cosby as a Doc?!
Enjoying way more family time than most TV doctors, Dr. Heathcliff’s sweater budget probably exceeded most docs’ country club fees. Think of him as the super-caring Dr. Dad we probably all wish we’d had. Add in his hot lawyer wife Clair and brood of good kids and it’s clear Cliff was living the dream.
Dr. Doogie Howser
As a child, he twice survived early-stage pediatric leukemia, “first when I was four and then…again when I was six” after his father—a family physician—discovered suspicious bruising. The experience fueled Howser’s desire to also enter medicine.
Possessing a genius intellect and an eidetic memory, Howser got a perfect score on the SAT at the age of six. He completed high school in nine weeks, graduated from Princeton University at age 10, and finished medical school four years later. At age 14, Howser was the youngest licensed doctor in the country.
Dr. Miranda Bailey
Miranda Bailey, a graduate of Wellesley College, is a resident surgeon who was also previously in charge of the five interns (now second-year surgical residents). Her colleagues refer to her as “The Nazi” because of her tough personality and blunt attitude. Although often harsh with her interns, she has been shown to provide both support and advice when they need it; some might say she practices “tough love.”
Dr. Carlisle Cullen from TWILIGHT
VAMPIRE AND DR. in one, now that’s pretty bad ass. He also doubles as superhero adopting rejected vampire children and protecting them.
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
Who would’ve guessed Jane Seymour would’ve gone from medicine woman, to sexy vixen Dancing with the Stars woman years later. The long peasant skirts are long gone.
This is part one of the Brit-com team French and Saunders hilarious parody of Dr. Quinn.
Dr. House
Words cannot describe how much I love Dr. House. He can take my blood any day.
Hawkeye Pierce
This guy taught me everything I know about humor and drinking
Zach Braff
SCRUBS IT THE BEST SHOW EVERRR!

You know you're going to give your kid a complex if you call them "The Mean Bean" instead of; sweetiepie, sugar face, bear, etc. My nickname stuck- even when I got nicer.
