History Main / MadDoctor

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' had Dr. Pau on Heaven Hive with his highly experimental {{nanobots}} and a little mafia enforcing the monopoly. He caused any harm at all only because [[spoiler:he didn't fully know what he's doing]] but was quite willing to go on.

%%* Pauline in ''Film/{{Excision}}'' has dreams of becoming a this, and progresses into it over the course of the film.

* ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'': In "Recap/TalesFromTheCryptS2E2TheSwitch The Switch]]", Carlton visits a mad doctor who performs a face, then a torso, and finally a lower body transplant on him. This being ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'', things do not end the way he had hoped.
* ''Series/TheXFiles'' has its share of crazy doctors engaged in cloning and hybrid experiments on humans. Special off-MythArc mention to the 4x06 episode "Sanguinarium" that introduces the worst kind of mad doctors: Satanist mad doctors.

* ''Series/GetSmart'' parodies this concept with one-off villain Jarvis Pym, the self-styled 'Mad Pharmacist'. Pym was, appropriately enough, played by Creator/VincentPrice.

* Dr. Igor Markoff in ''Film/TheMonsterMaker'' is a specialist in glandular conditions. He has developed both a means of infecting people with acromegaly (a condition that is normally caused by a pituitary disorder), and a means of curing it. He plans to become rich by infecting people and then charging what he wishes for the cure. His first target is a concert pianist, with the aim of forcing the man's daughter to marry him).

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', Mayuri Kurotsuchi arguably fits into this role because, although his primary function is not medicine, his research does lead him to cures and other treatments. Plus he's seriously messed up.
** Not to mention his apparent Arrancar counterpart, Szayelaporro Granz.

* Lampshaded in [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff400/fv00350.htm this]] ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}''.

* Túsū Wine from ''Tale of Food'' is a talented doctor who studied under Huà Tuó, but is incredibly eccentric and {{jerk|ass}}ish, and often deliberately antagonizes other people even when his intentions are good. People call him "Doctor Strange" for this reason.

Let's face it, there's just something inherently creepy about medical doctors. Their profession is one that centers around guts, organs, blood and bones, things that could make the most hardened badass vomit on the spot and they don't even flinch during their operations day after day after day. They can take a knife to a man's flesh, open him up like a zip-lock bag, do lord-knows-what to the insides of their patients and close them up again, ready for the next patient. And they're always so... jolly.

A supertrope of DeadlyDoctor (a combatant in medical garb) and PsychoPsychologist (psychologist/psychiatrist who commits evil/unethical/malicious deeds with his expertise). The counterpart of MadArtist, MadMathematician and MadScientist in the field of medicine (of course as with all the "Mad Genius" archetype sub-tropes, these are not mutually exclusive and often overlap -- medicine does require scientific research and a MadArtist could use expertise gained as a physician, mathematician and/or scientist in creating their insane artwork). Could be an EvilutionaryBiologist. Some may have a MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate. For unintentional examples, see ComicallyIneptHealing.

* A Partnership for a Drug-Free America ad from the 1980's had a doctor high on marijuana... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAx1_CsJc1k This]] is a later remake.

* Dr. Muraki in ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness''. Weirdly, he's actually an excellent doctor, except when he decides not to be. It's implied he runs a successful medical clinic most of the time he's not doing things like vampirizing people for fun and trying to resurrect his dead brother's head. Or "supplying" the black market (or another mad doctor) with organs taken from his victims. AND using them as a bait for his favourite shinigami...
* Shingen Kishitani in ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' Contrary to the most other examples, he's not really evil -- [[MadScientist just crazy]].

* ''Manga/TegamiBachiLetterBee'' presents a Subversion of this trope with the Dr Thunderland Jr. He uses an eye patch and is obsessed with dissection, but besides that he is shown to be a very kindhearted person who cares for the others despite his ruthlessness. Also, his job actually helps people.

** After dropping the gun toting, Hush evolved into this, performing heart surgery on Catwoman and throwing scalpels at Batman instead of knives.

* ''ComicBook/CombatKellyAndHisDeadlyDozen'': In their final mission, the Deadly Dozen were sent to stop Dr. Sweikert who was performing terrible experiments on patients in the name of medical science. After he captures Kelly and Laurie, he plans to operate on Laurie (without anesthetic) to remove her Achilles tendon and see if it cane replaced with steel wire.

* George "Sawbones" Zimmerman from the [[ComicBook/JonahHex2005 2005]] ComicBook/JonahHex series is a well educated and cultured man who enjoys using his medical skills to torture and murder people.

** Arguably a subversion, because we don't know for certain whether he's guilty. He is accused of these crimes, and is executed for them, but he denies the charges, and we never learn the truth.

** ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' has [[spoiler:Pharma]] who appears to have been a perfectly sane and exceptionalfly competent doctor until making a deal with the local squad of murderous torturers to protect his clinic and employees. It's implied that his sanity was eroding even before the deal was exposed and he JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope. To further exacerbate things, the one who exposed the deal was his old friend and mentor, who he has a massive InferioritySuperiorityComplex towards. The next time they meet, his behavior towards the guy veers into {{Yandere}} territory. He's even referred to as "The Mad Doctor" by his new teammates.

* In ''Film/TheClimax'', Dr. Hohner is theatre physician at the Theatre Royal, and a CrazyJealousGuy. To prevent Angela from singing, her firstly hypnotizes her to be unable to sing, and later attempts to [[TongueTrauma surgically remove her tongue]].

* ''Film/{{Predators}}'': When the characters organise themselves, one character asks why those who put them on the planet to hunt got a merc, an Israeli soldier, Spetznaz, a prisoner inside for multiple rapes, a Yakuza, a rebel etc. and put a doctor with them? [[spoiler:Answer: he's a poison-obsessed killer]].

* ''Film/StonehearstAsylum'': Lamb. While he his methods towards mental health are humane in and of themselves, he keeps the real staff locked up, puts a homicidal killer like Finn in charge of security and shows no remorse when Finn kills two escaped staff members and later one of the patients, electroshocks Salt into amnesia and tortures Newgate.
* ''Film/AViewToAKill'': HerrDoktor [[NaziGrandpa Carl Mortner]] is a Mengele-sque eugenicist who conducted a SuperBreedingProgram in an effort to create the "ideal" soldier for the Nazis. While most experiments failed, the few DesignerBabies that survived became highly intelligent — but also [[TheSociopath mentally unstable]] due to the {{Psycho Serum}}s used. [[BigBad Max Zorin]] is one of the more horrific examples.

* Dr. Herbert West from Creator/HPLovecraft's ''Literature/HerbertWestReanimator''. Mad doctor tries to reanimate dead tissue in order to defeat death, a noble ideal, although his fervor and methods (including bodysnatching and using people who have just died, often directly or indirectly due to him) in order to get the 'freshest specimens' tip him safely over the edge into crazy.

* Dr. Eric Logue in the Literature/JoePickett novel ''Trophy Hunt''. A former army surgeon, he was dishonorably discharged from the army and sent to a military prison for conducting unnecessary surgery on prisoners of war. Escaping, he travels the country posing as ufologist; attacking a dissecting people while they are still alive and believing that he is acting under the orders of aliens.

* The Thinking Machine Erasmus in ''Literature/LegendsOfDune'' who preform deadly experiments to countless human slaves out of sheer curiosity, he can be best described as robo-Mengele.
* Colonel Titus Hyde from the Literature/MatthewHawkwood novel ''Resurrectionist''. Literally mad, as the novel starts with with escaping from Bethlem Hospital (the original Bedlam) by killing a visiting clergyman, cutting off his face and wearing it as a mask.

* Maester Qyburn from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' was this. Until he was stripped of his maester status for performing [[strike:autopsies on people...''while they were still alive'']] vivisections, which was an ethical breach too far for the Citadel. He ended up working with the most foul and depraved mercenary company in both Westeros and beyond as their company [[MDEnvy definitely-not-a-maester-anymore]], [[MadScientist officially-demoted-to-quack]] [[TheMedic surgeon]]. And, given the world includes companies led by people such as Gregor Clegane, "the Bloody Mummers" status as "sellswords everybody hates" is truly impressive. Qyburn fitted himself right in, and kept up the [[ForScience "good" work]] on the company's victims. By-the-by... he's actually [[FalseReassurance really, really good at keeping patients alive through horrifically awful injuries or amputations]]; better than most of the maesters who have specialised in healing, in fact. Plenty of unethical, hands-on practice makes one a terrific surgeon, apparently.

* ''Literature/TalesOfTheBountyHunters'': Imperial surgeons cut out most of Dengar's hypothalamus, removing all his emotions but anger, hope and loneliness to make him into a perfect assassin. Other material establishes that physicians in the ''Star Wars'' universe also have the "first, do no harm" rule like the real world Hyppocratic Oath, which of course the Empire doesn't care about. They also perform this ''en masse'' on the pacifist Aruzans to "Redesign" them as violent killers.

* In the ''[[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Wheel of Time]]'' universe, Nemene Damendar Boann was a very famous and successful doctor in the Age of Legends... but she was also secretly a sadist, who deliberately inflicted excruciating pain on her patients for no other reason than her personal pleasure. The authorities finally discovered her evil, and she fled and joined the [[BigBad Dark One]] to avoid retaliation. She became the Forsaken Semirhage and still enjoys torturing people ; she is said to have once driven an entire city insane by magical torture.

** He also gets dangerously close in the prime universe in an early season when radiation makes the entire crew turn obsessive compulsive. He nearly dissects Mayweather's brain because of a simple headache.
* The immortal, organ-stealing doctor from the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "Time is on my Side".
* ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'': In "Recap/TalesFromTheCryptS2E2TheSwitch The Switch]]", Carlton visits a mad doctor who performs a doctor who performs a face, then a torso, and finally a lower body transplant on him. this being ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'', things do not end the way he had hoped.

* "Dr. Piranha" by ''Music/DogFashionDisco''. Dr. Piranha rose from a toilet bearing gifts, killed a patient in the operating room, was angered when the "mercitron" killed a patient and then went into orbit to search for a baboon's heart.

* The Music/NoxArcana album ''Blackthorn Asylum'' has Dr. Neville Aldritch, the own of the titular BedlamHouse. He gleefully mutilates the patients of the asylum to fulfill his medical curiosity.

** This is also where many [[TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression Geniuses]] and [[TabletopGame/PrometheanTheCreated demiurges]] end up. In the first case, the Progenitors have just recovered from a fairly brutal and messy purge of the [[PowerBornOfMadness unmada]] and [[TheUnfettered Illuminated]] in their ranks, and there's still a considerable chance for any given Genius to go screaming off the deep end and end up ''insane'' rather than just crazy.. In the second, the only way for a demiurge to catalyze the creation of a new Promethean lineage is obsession, and most have a healthy dose of desperation and insanity to go with it, neatly explaining why they spent so much time and effort trying to reanimate the dead.

** Dr. Victor Mordenheim and Dr. Daclaud Heinfroth in ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}''. The former focuses on medical science of the Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} nature, while the latter is a mad psychiatrist (also a vampire that feeds on cerebro-spinal fluid). There's also a minor Darklord, Frantisek Markov, who is a cheap rip-off of the titular character from ''Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau''; mutilating animals and humans to create "broken men", which are horrific humanoid animals. He's mostly self-titled, however; he's a former butcher and pig farmer who developed a sick fascination with surgery.

* House Astyanath, a faction in the d20 setting ''TabletopGame/{{Infernum}}'', are a House notorious for their almost religious fascination with pain, and are implied to have quite a few of these in their ranks. More explicit are Dissectionists - Mad Doctors as ''entertainers''! For the delight and amusement of other demons, these depraved surgeons publically "peel" living creatures, using blades and alchemical concoctions to neatly remove skin from flesh, peel flesh from bone, and extract organs, all of which are arranged onto steel frameworks as part of the "show". The circulatory system and other such things must be kept intact during the "performance", so the end result is a grotesque ''flower'' of flesh and viscera... which is still alive, aware and in incomprehensible agony.

* In ''TabletopGame/RocketAge'''s Lab 8 in the Nazi's research base on Mercury this is practically a job requirement. Vivisection, cybernetics and genetic tampering are common, despite often being pointlessly lethal.

** The Orks' "[[TitleDrop Mad Doks]]" or "[[MeaningfulName Painboyz]]" are nothing ''but'' these. These Orks have basic medical knowledge hard-wired into their [=DNA=], along with [[ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder a compulsion to "tinker."]] They've been known to decapitate an Ork, and graft its head onto another Ork's body just to see what happens. Or swap two Orks' limbs, just for fun. Or replace an Orks' brain with a live squig, for the hell of it. Or give an Ork bionic lungs, when he came in with a toothache. Or just plain ''forget'' what they were supposed to be doing, pick a limb at random and bolt on a replacement. You have to be ''really'' desperate to visit a Mad Dok, so some don't bother waiting for you to show up. This is probably best displayed in the spinoff ''TabletopGame/{{Gorkamorka}}'', which has six pages of tables dedicated to the Dok's surgery, because it's that unpredictable. Some interpretations even indicate that the Orks in a mob led by a Dok have FeelNoPain not because of the Dok providing medical help, but because the Orks are so afraid of him doing so that they pretend not to have suffered any injury less severe than decapitation, while chanting phrases like "Missin' leg? No, dat'z just a skratch, 'onest."
** The most infamous of these would be Mad Dok Grotsnik, whose work included hiding explosives in the heads of his patients and detonating them when he felt like it. The other Orks' revenge and Grotsnik's subsequent "resurrection" at the hands his Grot assistants have left him a patchwork of greenskin and cyborg bits, and even loonier. Grotsnik occasionally amputates his own limbs "just to keep his hand in" and is rumored to be collecting parts from his patients to build a super-Ork. He is only alive because he is the unofficial court physician of the Ork warlord and prophet Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, whose "vishuns from da Gods" started right after Grotsnik gave him his adamantium skull (sans explosives).
** The setting's Dark Eldar have Haemonculi, who have great knowledge of physiology and medicine, but use it for decidedly sadistic purposes. They share the Mad Doks' desire to "experiment," but have more tools and practical understanding of medicine at their disposal, so unfortunately their "patients" can live through more. They are often responsible for the lumbering, misshapen Grotesques that sometimes accompany Dark Eldar raiders as literal meat shields due to their inability to feel pain, while one story describes a Haemonculus who had a victim reduced to a collection of skin and organs hanging from hooks on his lab's ceiling. [[AndIMustScream The victim was still alive]].

* Doctor Alexander Nox aka Caustic from ''VideoGame/ApexLegends'' became obsessed with toxic gases and eridaction of living beings. He was once an Employee to a pest control corporation, there he weaponized his noxious artillery and found his greatest intrigue in [[ForScience torturing humans]]. He's definitely not a nice guy, but even his evil has limits.

** ''I'': Garnier de Naplouse has his men round up the indigent and insane so he perform surgical experiments on them, hoping to cure their insanity by making them braindead slaves... and he thinks he's ''helping'' them.

** ''Unity'': le Roi des Thunes takes a cut from all the beggars in Paris; if they don't make their quotas, he has his surgeons cut off a limb, since crippled beggars bring in more dough.

* ''VideoGame/ChzoMythos'': William Taylor is revealed to be a mad doctor who has created a murderous FrankensteinMonster from his dead fellow crew mates.

* Dr. Earnhardt from ''VideoGame/FarCry3'' is completely nuts and frequently tests his home-made pills on himself, but is a skilled physician and chemist in spite of being constantly high as a kite, and pretty much the most upstanding character in the game.

** In the sequel, ''VideoGame/DayOfTheTentacle'', Laverne isn't quite a doctor yet, but as a med-student she's on her way there. And she's certainly quite...unhinged.

* One of the more scary enemies in the main game (i.e. non-''[[DownloadableContent Whistleblower]]'') ''VideoGame/{{Outlast}}'' is Richard Trager, who fits this trope to a T. He's especially terrifying in that, unlike every other enemy in the game (other then the Groom in ''Whistleblower'') ''he can open doors.''

* Marian, a witch-doctor wannabe, from ''VideoGame/RuneFactory3'' will like you to be her patiant and will force you to take a shot of her random medicine. 80% of her love events involve her putting you into a medical experiment or making you drag someone to her clinic. Everyone in the town's scared of her.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Melee'' and the fourth game, Dr. Mario has a PaletteSwap that invokes this. He dons a black labcoat, black gloves, and black shoes. The Japanese ''Melee'' website even described this costume as an "unlicensed doctor".

* In ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', Kohaku has great medicinal knowledge and a pharmacology liscense despite her role as a {{Meido}}, which she occasionally uses for rather worrisome ends. In the pseudo-sequel, one possible way to [[GroundhogDayLoop end the day]] is to end up trapped in the basement jail with Kohaku about to [[PlayingWithSyringes inject Shiki with many syringes]]. This carries over into {{Fanon}} and the fighting game adaptation ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood''.

* ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'''s Zexion not only implants explosives in people's organs, but also fused a man's DNA with a ''cookie'' just to see what would happen.

* Dr. Kurtis from ''Webcomic/BeyondTheCanopy''. An animate skeleton who keeps his surgical implements in a crack in his skull, his first appearance is describing the augmentation surgery he's about to perform to his (fully consious) patient, who complains "I'm only here for a chipped tooth. Is this really necessary?" Kurtis' reply? "[[FlatYes Yes.]]"

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' had Dr. Pau on Heaven Hive with his highly experimental {{nanobots}} and a little mafia enforcing the monopoly. He caused any harm at all only because [[spoiler:he didn't fully know what he's doing]], but was quite willing to go on.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sparklecare}}'', Dr. Doom is this. After all, he's a multi-limbed rat thing with rainbow ears that's also a doctor who's absolutely zany... need we day more?

* ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'' has Filbert, a doctor who conducted unethical experiments on his patients and ended up inflicting them with TheCorruption. He is now convinced that he has to "cut the bad out of them," whether they're willing or not. [[spoiler:He is also infected himself; searching his office reveals a drawer full of bloody fleshy bits that he's cut off from himself and a note that says "Never doubt that you are pure."]]

* The ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunny'' cartoon "Water Water Every Hare" has an imposing castle with its façade flashing "Mad Scientist" and "Boo" in neon alternately. The scientist himself is short, bald and has a voice like Vincent Price.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/MuchaLucha'' was actually about an evil doctor who threatened to remove the Flea's spleen as a result of a prank the Flea played on him just so he can use said spleen to create a monster made entirely out of internal organs. However, it then turns out that the spleen actually escaped the Flea's body prior to the episode's events, and the spleen for some reason, is ''three times'' the size of the Flea himself.

* In ''Film/TheClimax'', Dr. Hohner is theatre physician at the Theatre Royal, and a CrazyJealousGuy. To prevent Angela from singing, her firstly [[HypnotizeThePrincess hypnotizes her to be unable to sing]], and later attempts to [[TongueTrauma surgically remove her tongue]].

* Cioccolata from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'' was formerly a sadistic surgeon who would operate on conscious patients and convince the elderly people he was "assisting" to commit suicide. He takes glee in watching people die and makes it a point to record the deaths of every victim on video- [[EvenEvilHasStandards understandably, the boss of the gang he's a member of views him with nothing less than scorn and only calls for his help as a last resort.]]
* Hajime Hanafusa from ''Manga/KenganAshura'' is a brilliant surgeon with an unhealthy obsession with dissecting people he finds interesting, especially fighters. [[spoiler: During his debut fight in the tournament, he reveals that he turned himself into a {{cyborg}} by implanting swords made from his ''own femurs'' into his arms, modifying his brain to eliminate his sense of pain, loading high-pressure gas into his heels to deliver explosive jump kicks, and adding cardiac implants that kept his heart beating and allowed him to survive having his neck snapped.]]

This has happened often enough in RealLife (notable in the original trope name, "The Mengele", named after infamous [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Nazi]] doctor [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Mengele Josef Mengele]]) that there's a branch of medical ethics devoted to figuring out what you can do to your patients ForScience, and (at least in the USA) every hospital and university has a committee whose entire job is to oversee research with human subjects. It's generally agreed that you must tell people you're experimenting on them, why, what the risks are, what they get out of it, and give them the opportunity to say no. The Other Wiki has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_subject_research more information than you require.]]

* Cioccolata from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'' was formerly a sadistic surgeon who would operate on conscious patients and convince the elderly people he was "assisting" to commit suicide. He takes glee in watching people die and makes it a point to record the deaths of every victim on video- [[EvenEvilHasStandards understandably, the boss of the gang he's a member of views him with nothing less than scorn and only calls for his help as a last resort.]]

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' has a bunch of mad doctors aiding the evil GovernmentConspiracy at various points, the most prominent of which in the manga & ''Brotherhood'' anime is “The Man in White” (or “Gold Tooth”) or in the original anime is Shou Tucker, The Sewing Life Alchemist.

* ''{{Series/Highlander}}'' had a doctor who kidnapped and drugged Duncan after so he could do experiments on him. Duncan was hit by a car and badly injured. The immortal HealingFactor kicked in and Duncan tried to leave, only to get grabbed. It was revealed he wasn’t the doctor’s first victim, either. The guy killed a nurse who caught on and Duncan had to find evidence to prove his innocence as the doctor used Duncan’s T-bird when he killed the nurse.

* ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'' has Filbert, a doctor who conducted unethical experiments on his patients and ended up inflicting them with TheCorruption. He is now convinced that he has to “cut the bad out of them,” whether they're willing or not. [[spoiler:He is also infected himself; searching his office reveals a drawer full of bloody fleshy bits that he's cut off from himself and a note that says “Never doubt that you are pure.”]]

* In ''WebVideo/{{Thresher}}'' the unnamed protagonist is apparently subject to some kind of psychic experimentation. It doesn’t end well for anyone.

* Music/WilburSoot plays the role of one "[[NamesToTunAwayFromReallyFast Dr. Malpractice]]" in ''LetsPlay/TheFunniestMinecraftVideosEver''. His name is an apt description of his practices.

* Cioccolata from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'' was formerly a sadist surgeon who would operate on conscious patients and convince the elderly people he was "assisting" to commit suicide.

* Josef Mengele (meng-ela), the former TropeNamer, if his monicker "The Angel of Death" is anything to go by. As if being a Nazi wasn't enough.
* Christopher Duntsch would deliberately worsen the conditions of his patients if not outright kill them during a procedure and was a [[DrJerk malignant narcissist to boot]]. Thankfully, fellow doctors quickly caught on and he's now serving life imprisonment. His malpractice became the subject of a podcast titled ''Dr. Death'' which was also his well-earned nickname. The podcast would later be adapted into a Creator/{{Peacock}} [[Series/DrDeath miniseries of the same name]] starring Creator/JoshuaJackson as Duntsch.
