* Any character with low medical skill in ''VideoGame/{{Rimworld}}'' is this by default: the only thing keeping them from performing surgery on someone is the restriction on the activity, which you can change at any time. While high skill medical allows someone to pull off absolutely life-saving medicine, such as stopping someone from bleeding out after their arm is torn off, ''low'' medical skill characters can botch something as simple as putting a bandage on a mild cut. Not only that, but they can mess it up so bad they ''kill the patient'' (though it's unlikely unless they're doing an actual surgical procedure, which can result in such insanity as "removing the head to treat a broken toe"). Low medical skill checks usually result in scarring, which negatively affects the character permanently.

* ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'' has Doctor S, Rob [=McTodd=]'s personal plastic surgeon. He claims that he doesn't need a medical license to practice medicine out of a cave, and for some reason, ends up being hired as the kingdom's official doctor. He frequently makes misdiagnoses, and his practices resemble a MadScientist more than a doctor.
-->'''Doctor S:''' ''[regarding a line of patients]'' Look at them, Nurse Phantom! So many test subjects and I don't even have to dig any of them up!\\
'''Hector:''' I don't know why I'm here, I'm in perfect health.\\
'''Doctor S:''' Not for long!

** The current page image depicts one such doctor who offers to exchange Fry's lungs for a set of gills, reasoning that Fry won't need his lungs anymore once he has his new gills. Leela is forced to prevent the operation by way of boots applied to faces. The same guy is later seen giving Hermes cyborg upgrades, operating on his desk, and using his scalpels as darts.

* Creator/CarlHiaasen has used this trope a couple of times:
** In ''Literature/SkinTight'', the BigBad, Dr. Rudy Graveline, has set himself up as a plastic surgeon even though he doesn't have a license. He comes to the attention of the hero of the story, ex-cop Mick Stranahan, when it turns out Graveline accidentally killed a patient through a botched nose job and [[RevealingCoverUp and then made the body disappear]].
** In ''Literature/NativeTongue'', after TheDragon shoots up a trailer and ends up hitting Skink (he thought he was shooting Joe, the main character), Joe ends up taking Skink to a vet to sew him up, at Skink's insistence.
