Bio+med regulars, and their TV counterparts

tallaght01

In the last few years on this forum, I've developed a mental picture of some of the regulars on this forum.

I usually picture them as people from medical TV shows that kind of remind me of them.

So, here's my short list of the users that I associate with TV characters :P

Does anyone else do this, or am I mental?

DrIndy: JD from scrubs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.D._(Scrubs)

Mystik Monkey: Charlie from Holby City.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Fairhead#Charlie_Fairhead

2scoops: Edgar from "24". I know it's not a medical drama, and I know poor Edgar isn't much to look at. But He's a smart cookie, which is why he reminds me of 2scoops. Sorry, man :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Stiles

RobFowl: Karl Kennedy. Question is, can you double up as a neurosurgeon/intensivist/paediatrician like Dr Karl can? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kennedy

ZYX: "Mac" the old school GP from the BBC series "doctors".
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/doctors/past_characters/brendan_mcguire_person_page.shtml

Traumadoc: Dr Anspaugh from ER. I think he was chief of surgery. http://www.erheadquarters.com/images/cast/danspaugh/peter&anspaugh.jpg
So, is it just me? Or have I lost it? :P

There's a few new regulars posting lately, so I'm sure I'll be updating this thread sometime soon. Watch out drkpower and DrZhivago!!!!

I don't do that, but your list will probably prompt me to start! I sometimes like to think I'll be like House (a genius, not an Ass) if I ever in up in Medicine, but in reality I'd probably be more like 13.

DrIndy

lol

Guy:Incognito

What about yourself Tallaght? Just so we can get an idea of you.:)



Waits for "why, DR. Doug Ross from ER, what with my dashing looks and all":D

Dr Galen

Dr Galen

I did think of you, and I have a mental pic of you. But I can't think of a female TV psych. I often picture one of my undergrad tutors who was a psychotherapist when I see your posts.

But she doesn't have a wikipedia page :P

2scoops has rightly pointed out that full-name typo, btw. Jack...Edgar....it's hard to avoid mixing them up

Dude, karl Kennedy is a legend!!!

I haven't watched neighbours in a long time, but I remember the following:

1) In middle age he was knocking some really hot burd, and his wife still took him back afterwards.

2) He's saved more asses with emergency roadside procedures than the entire HEMS crew combined in the last 10 years.

He even has facebook groups devoted to him.

Embrace the comparison, man :P

Actually, the could be quite accurate. I do laugh a lot in work. I reckon he's a better physician than me though :P I've seen him take out tonsils, do heart surgery and treat radiation poisoning.

He's up there with Karl Kennedy!

My mammy says im like Mark Hamilton off "How long will you live"!:rolleyes:
And mammies are always right!!!!

tech77

Any takers for Dr. Nick (Simpsons), Dr. Romano (ER) or Dr. House even?

FWIW one TV doctor i've always found interesting is Archie Morris on ER.
Loved the character progression from total waster to half-decent, responsible physician.
Always liked Morganstern (William H. Macy) as well.
So eccentric.

Sadly he's about as close as any TV charachter comes to my job

Obviously I am far more dashing and a little younger...
