[[folder:Tabletop Games]]

* James Nichols in the SixteenThirtyTwo series, but then again, he's a doctor of 2000 in the 17th century.

* More Medicine Man than Doctor, {{Mushishi}}'s Ginko has can recognize almost any mushi, and has a solution to nearly every Mushi-based problem the series has to offer; in both cases, usually after very little deliberation or research.

* Night Nurse[[hottip:*:who actually has an MD, but acknowledges the codename is better]] provides emergency medical care for superheroes when they can't go anywhere else, and seems able to treat anything from minor injuries to operating on heroes with invulnerable skin.

* Aes Sedai in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' series have the magical means to heal almost anything short of a missing limb or death, but Nynaev has an innate medical mastery that far outstrips even those who have studied the art for decades. Early on she uses healing magic that is far more effective, though proportionately difficult, than that considered standard by the Aes Sedai (because it provides the energy for the healing rather than drawing it from the patient themselves) and eventually goes on to cure conditions such as the severing of one's ability to do magic and the madness brought on by a tainted source of magic, acts considered impossible even in the nigh-omniscient [[TheTimeOfMyths AgeOfLegends]].

* Doctors in ''{{Fallout}}'' are able to casually heal your hp, broken limbs, addictions, radiation poisoning, and sometimes, even perform plastic surgery on your face.

* [[DoctorStrange Dr Strange]] is either this or ForgotAboutHisPowers when it comes to medicine. He [[NotThatKindOfDoctor was a surgeon]] whose career ended in the 1960s, but he's still been asked to do anything from give an injection to deliver babies.

* Any ''StarTrek'' doctor--ships' doctors, in space as at sea, have to be flexible to deal with whatever comes up far from help, but ''Trek'' doctors seem never even to struggle with the sheer breadth of medical issues facing them, only being troubled by completely new diseases and thought-impossible surgeries.

** "Bones" [=McCoy=] from ''StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''.
** Dr Beverley Crusher from ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration''.
** Dr Julian Bashir from ''StarTrekDeepSpace9''.
** "Doctor" (Emergency Medical Hologram) from ''StarTrekVoyager'', slightly averted by having Kes/Paris as an occasional Nurse.
** Dr Phlox (a rare non-human Super Doc) from ''StarTrekEnterprise''.

* The Medic from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has his medigun that can keep a fellow team member alive under heavy bullet rain at such a degree they'll die only via concentrated effort from the opposing team. The "Meet The Medic" video shows that if he has the peace and quiet and equipment for it, he can easily keep a patient conscious and talking without a heart.

* A more literal "Super" Doc would be ''{{Doctor McNinja}}'', who not only specializes in bizarre medical problems (like a disease that turns people into Paul Bunyans), but also fights crime and saves the world in his spare time.

* Any ''StarTrek'' doctor.

** Dr Carson Beckett (''StargateAtlantis'')
** Dr Jennifer Keller (''StargateAtlantis'')
** First Lieutenant Tamara Johansen (''StargateUniverse'')

* The Medic from ''TeamFortress2'' has his medigun that can keep a fellow team member alive under heavy bullet rain at such a degree they'll die only via concentrated effort from the opposing team. The "Meet The Medic" video shows that if he has the peace and quiet and equipment for it, he can easily keep a patient conscious and talking without a heart.

Despite being an old woman, and the fact that humanity has only had thirty or so years' experience dealing with alien species, she knows how to treat just about any wound on any sort of species. Liara T'Soni (a 106-year-old asari scientist) is impressed at how much she knows about her species' physiology. She later proves how unflappable and determined she is by surviving the destruction of the original ''Normandy'', leaving the Alliance just to serve aboard the illegally-constructed second ''Normandy'', and pulling herself together after being abducted and almost liquified by the Collectors. She flat out tells you that she'll go through any sort of hell to serve at your side. How's that for UndyingLoyalty?

* BlackJack, from the manga of the same name.

** Speaking of...I gotta give an honorable to Doctor Chakwas (also from ''MassEffect''). Despite being an old woman, and the fact that humanity has only had thirty or so years' experience dealing with alien species, she knows how to treat just about any wound on any sort of species. Liara T'Soni (a 106-year-old asari scientist) is impressed at how much she knows about her species' physiology.

* Doctors in {{Fallout}} are able to casually heal your hp, broken limbs, addictions, radiation poisoning, and sometimes, even perform plastic surgery on your face.
* Nurse Joy in any Pokemon game. At least, from a Pokemon's point of view.
* Medic from TeamFortress2 has his Medi Gun that can keep a fellow team member alive under heavy bullet rain at such a degree they'll die only via concentrated effort from the opposing team. Meet The Medic video shows that if he has the peace and quiet and equipment for it, he can easily keep a patient conscious and talking without a heart.
