Deadly Doctor is "someone who fights or kills with a medical motif." Further down it says, "Deadly Doctor refers specifically to doctors who apply their medical knowledge to their combat techniques." This is not the same as Combat Medic which is a doctor who also happens to be a good fighter, but who uses actual martial techniques instead of medical techniques.

Meatgrinder Surgery describes "flagrantly careless surgery that still manages to get positive results (mostly)." It describes a surgeon who uses inappropriate tools and techniques for surgery but is almost always played for laughs. The non-comedy version is likely Playing with Syringes.
