* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Winry's parents were doctors from Amestris who worked tirelessly to save lives in the so-called Ishvalan Civil War, a genocide perpetrated against the Ishvalans by Amestris. As humanitarians of the nation, they were owed protection by the Amestrian military. Viewing this as a waste of resources, especially since saving Ishvalan lives ran contrary to the whole point of the war, the military instead targeted them for [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident assassination]], but ultimately they were murdered by one of their own patients [[FreakOut in a fugue]] just before it could be carried out. Even [[MadBomber Kimblee]], their intended assassin, expresses his respect for them sticking to their principles in the middle of a war zone.

* ''Series/{{House}}'': Dr. House gets away with all his shenanigans and curmudgeonly personality because he is a brilliant diagnostician who will not stop until he diagnoses and successfully treats his patients, even though most of the time he doesn't even like them. He's even not above doing things like lying to or insulting patients if he believes it will benefit them medically in the long run.
* ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'': Emu Hojo starts out as naive, but determined pediatric intern, who took this attitude from his idol, Kyotaro Hinata, a surgeon who saved his life after a childhood incident. Patients are always his first priority regardless of who they are and he is very much annoyance-proof when it comes to their behavior. The most notable example is when Emu finds out that the current BigBad is ill and about to be taken to prison when he will probably die and convinces everyone from authorities to his teammates to let the man be treated first. Other doctors on team initially have a nasty tendency of throwing everything out to fight each other, but they learn from Emu to be more professional just as he learns to be more realistic.

This dedication to the Hippocratic oath is why first Col. Blake and then Col. Potter tolerate (and sometimes cover for) the shenanigans of Trapper, BJ, and Hawkeye; it's also what enables Hawkeye, BJ and Charles to work together despite vast differences in personality. In fact, the above-mentioned Major Burns is unique as the sole Inversion of this trope amongst the regular cast.

But then she sees them about to reset Jamie's broken arm with a move she knows will make it much worse, and speaks up to initiate it correctly.

** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': Dr Bashir, to an extreme. In the early seasons, he comes off as like a bit of a fop or a lightweight, but put a life in danger or under his care and it's a near instant transformation to {{Determinator}} badass.
*** In [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS01E01E02Emissary the very first episode]], the Cardassians attack the station, and several people are wounded on the Promenade. Even as debris is raining down around him, Bashir kneels down to treat one, grabs Odo, and tells him to put pressure on a severed blood vessel to keep the woman from bleeding out. When Odo starts to protest, Bashir fixes him with a [[DeathGlare look that would freeze a sun]] and says [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Hold. It. There."]]
*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS02E22TheWire The Wire]]", Bashir is forced to endure lies and verbal abuse from Garak while the latter is suffering from psychological and physiological complications brought on by a malfunctioning implant in his brain. Despite the vicious and constant vitriol from Garak, Bashir never wavers in his determination to heal him.
*** Another one from Garak. When the crew's transporter patterns are cached in the holodeck during "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E10OurManBashir Our Man Bashir]]", turning a silly game into a serious "kill the character, kill the person" scenario, Bashir shoots Garak to prevent him from endangering the others. It's deliberately ambiguous as to whether Bashir intended to merely graze Garak or go for a kill shot if needed.
*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E04HippocraticOath Hippocratic Oath]]", Bashir attempts to cure the Jem'Hadar's dependence on Ketrecel White, a drug used to maintain their loyalty to the Dominion -- his obsession with doing is such that O'Brien has to physically sabotage his work snap him out of it.
*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E24TheQuickening The Quickening]]", Bashir's unshakeable will to heal actually results in the first child born without "the Blight" in a society where literally everyone is born with and dies from the disease, despite not actually curing the disease. Even after this minor success, he still endeavours to find a cure, long past the episode where it is introduced.
*** There's also at least one occasion when Julian proves that his commitment to medical care includes knowing when to stop. In "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E13LifeSupport Life Support]]", against all the odds, he's able to save the life of an important Bajoran religious leader who has been badly injured in an accident, installing positronic implants to compensate for the brain injuries he received. However, when it proves to be only a partial and temporary solution, Dr Bashir makes the call that further medical intervention is not in the patient's best interests: his quality of life is already poor, and replacing any more of his brain anatomy with artificial substitutes would result in DeathOfPersonality. He explains this to Major Kira, who is very close to said patient and distraught at the thought of losing him, with commendable sensitivity and professionalism.
