Which TV doctor would you want as your doctor?

For me, I'd like to have Martin Ellingham from Doc Martin. Doc Martin is a great diagnostician and although he's aloof and brisk with his patients, he really cares about them.

but I would try really hard NOT to kill my patients 3 times before I figure out what is really wrong with them.

Oh, I've also considered myself to be a Sherlock Holmes too.

I had an older doctor just for few years after I married in 70's he was just like him would sit on end of bed and say how are you doing? And he really meant it.

Instead of treating an injury they could go back in time and prevent it from happening in the first place.
