I'd choose Dr. House. I would appreciate the sarcasm laced treatment.

Now I am interested if anyone know that movie.

(9,808 posts)Given his curative powers tend to come with the unfortunate side effect of immortality, that's a risk I'm willing to take.

(3,447 posts)I didn't like him at first but he really grew on me. I don't generally like Star Trek too much, but I liked that series (mainly because of Janeway, she was ~amazing~!).
If it had to be a 'living human' (but still fictional) doctor, then I'd agree with you on House. My gastroenterologist is actually a lot like him, very brusque manner but skilled as all hell, punctual like you wouldn't believe (seriously, your waiting room wait is under 3 minutes), and he's rated among the best in Indiana. Only doctor on this planet I actually trust (I've had bad doctor experiences in the past).
