History Main / VampireDoctor

* Kim Newnan`s character, Genevieve is a powerful vampire and a paramedic\MD\combat medic. She even has a Sorbonne diploma of MD in "Anno Dracula" series and feeds by her lovers, never from patients.

* ''VideoGame/Vampyr2018'': Jonathan Reid, the main character, is a doctor specialized in blood transfusions and has been turned into a vampire shortly before the start of the game. He can see people's health conditions using his VeinOVision. The best way to level yourself up quickly is by feasting on any of the unique civilian [=NPCs=]. They all have placards over their heads showing how much experience they're worth, so it temps the player as much as the thirst tempts Jonathan.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': In "The Dark Age", Buffy and Angel dust a pair of vampire doctors who attempt to steal a blood shipment to Sunnydale Hospital.
* Parodied on ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. It comes out in one episode that J.D. has written a screenplay about a vampire doctor called ''Dr. Acula." He takes a blood sample the usual vampire way: by sucking the blood from the patient and spitting it into the test tube. He also diagnoses the patient through tasting the blood.

** In ''Something Wicked This Way Comes'', the MonsterOfTheWeek is a shtriga (a spirit that feeds on life force) that uses its sinister powers to hospitalize and feed upon the life force of various children while posing as a doctor trying to cure them.
** In ''Sam Interrupted'', a wraith poses as a nurse at a mental hospital, taking full advantage of the fact that the patients there are supposedly 'insane' so that she can feed on them without having to at all worry about anyone believing her targets' attempts at warning others about her actions.
** In ''The Purge'' a Peruvian fat sucking monster called a Pishtaco works at a fitness center and takes advantage of the fact she feeds on human fat to harmlessly feed by giving people special treatments at a spa. Her brother, also an employee, also attempts to take part in such a style of feeding, but ends up unable to keep control of himself while feeding.
* ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'': In ''The Reluctant Vampire'', the main character, Mr. Longtooth, works at a blood bank, though as a security guard. He does know some medical procedures though like asking if a person has taken drugs or has any diseases and what not and managed to refill the so called missing quota the bank seems to be going through.

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': The vampire Carlisle Cullen has managed to attain such perfect control over his blood lust that he can operate as a medical doctor for humans without issue, despite it being incredibly difficult for vampires to hold themselves back from attacking when they smell human blood.

* ''Videogame/{{Arknights}}'': Warfarin is one of Rhodes Island's resident doctors and combat medics. She (naturally) specializes in hematology, and has authored many landmark books on the subject. In normal circumstances she is polite and professional and can separate "work and food." However, when confronted with unusual blood, like that of [[PlayerCharacter the Doctor]] or any of the [[BizarreAlienBiology Abyssal Hunters]], she starts showing MadScientist tendencies. In combat her talents come out in the form of being able to boost the offensive power of herself and a random Operator in her healing range at the cost of constant life loss.

* Averted in {{Webcomic/Oglaf}}: the vampire "[[BackAlleyDoctor doctor]]" Navaan doesn't seem to suffer from HorrorHunger, but is so bad at medicine she ends up killing her patients anyway (or leaving them with their original affliction at best). All of it PlayedForLaughs.

* A ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch involves vampires taking over TV media. One of the shows was about a hospital where all the doctors and nurses are vampires. They try to treat a patient by giving him a blood transfusion, but since they're, well, ''vampires'', they keep drinking all of it. Ultimately, they just decided to drain the patient of his blood, instantly turning him in the process.
