I’m guessing it’ll do well with all the fans on the boards here but perhaps it’ll be a bit too myopic. I struggled with #8 for a bit before the epiphany, I wonder where that’ll rank. It probably _should_ be the winner but it’s been out rotation recently and he doesn’t do much doctoring any more. I thought of using that, but we all know that it’s never lupus. ---

I put Dr. Robert Caldwell for hunkiest male doctor, but I had to look up the character’s name. It was the doc played by Mark Harmon, who I was in deep lust with in college. Also: Denzel Washington! It was a great show. ---
