This will be old news to some readers who know me, and as I originally posted nearly 4 years ago, the numbers are probably out of date.
Also, the database has changed slightly, but you should be able to verify most, if not all of the following GPs on the GPs Register.
If you are in the UK, you can check your Doctor's credentials on www.gmc-uk.org from the current list of approximately 200,000 GMC Doctors.
Of course, your Doctor might be Dr. Smith – but there are 1166 of those - or Dr. Jones (1183) – perhaps Dr. Singh (443) or Dr. Patel (741).
However things could be much more interesting. Sometimes some people seem simply to be suited to their profession – or perhaps not!
From the very same list (name followed by how many)…
Famous Doctors.
Dr. Watson 344 (Elementary!)
Dr. Foster 145 (but only 2 in Gloucester)
Dr. Robert 5 (Beatles fans)
Dr. McCoy 7 (no Leonard's)
Dr. Hoo 3 (well it's close!)
Good Doctors.
Whilst those of a certain age will know of Dr. Kiss Kiss, I could not find any of those but…
Dr. Kiss 3
Dr. Love 32
You'll feel at ease with…
Dr. Nice 3
Dr. Pleasant 1
Dr. Friend 12
Dr. Lovely 1
And of course, what could possibly go wrong when you visit…
Dr. Cure 1
Dr. Safe 3
Dr. Nurse 4
Dr. Doctor 3
You'll feel secure with…
Dr. Secrett 1
But perhaps a little confused with…
Dr. Patient 5
Specialist Doctors.
Maybe you have a particular ailment. Then a visit to one of the following (in roughly descending order) might help.
Dr. Hair 2
Dr. Head 24
Dr. Brain 24
Dr. Skull 2
Dr. Ruth 2 (the shrink!)
Dr. Bone 22
Dr. Smallbone 1
Dr. Limb 6
Dr. Hand 18
Dr. Hands 8
Dr. Lung 2
Dr. Liver 1
Dr. Back 4
Dr. Bottom 1
Dr. Belli 2
Dr. Tumi 1
Dr. Willy 1
Dr. Kneebone 5
Dr. Legg 10
Dr. Foot 9
If your time is precious, choose carefully between…
Dr. Quick 6
Dr. Slowe 2
Ones to avoid?
Perhaps it is in the best interests of your clean bill of health not to visit…
Dr. Bugg 3
And maybe steer clear of…
Dr. Beer 16
Dr. Beere 1
Dr. de Beer 13
Dr. Beers 1
Dr. Wines 1
Dr. Winer 1
Dr. Ginn 2
Dr. Ginns 2
Dr. Drinkall 1
...preferring…
Dr. Low-Beer 3
Dr. Drinkwater 5
Dr. Waterdrinker 1
…and of course…
Dr. Sober 1
Under no circumstances whatsoever should you visit…
Dr. Pain 10
Dr. Hurt 2
Dr. Risk 3
Dr. Blood 2
Dr. Cutter 3
Dr. Fear 4
Dr. Crack 1
Dr. Crackett 1
Dr. Scarr 2
Dr. Scarabelli 1
Dr. Grave 1
Dr. Gash 4
Dr. Slaughter 1
Dr. Coffin 4
Dr. De'ath 1
Dr. Kille 1
Dr. Heaven 3
Dr. Hell 1
Wrong Profession?
Maybe give these a miss as well.
Dr. Catt 1
Dr. Rabbitt 2
Dr. Woof 1
Dr. Goose 2
Dr. Gander 1
Dr. Duck 4 (and yes... one is called Donald!)
