** "Doctor" (Emergency Medical Hologram) from ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', with Kes or Paris as an occasional Nurse. The EMH kind of cheats here as "he" is essentially a 24th century supercomputer integrated with a database of '''the ''entirety'' of Federation medical knowledge''' with holograms and forcefields used to provide a "body". Kes/Paris being used as a nurse/medic was more for when they couldn't bring the patient to the Doctor as he was, at least initially, stuck in sickbay by his holographic nature there being no projectors elsewhere on the ship.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': The "frog-faced doctor" seems to be capable of treating ''anything''. Now, he does have access to some seriously advanced medical technology, but thus far the only things he's been unable to cure have been cases where portions of his patient's brain have been outright destroyed, and in one of those cases he found a workaround anyway. There's a reason he's known as "Heaven Canceller".
