After looking through the books I have read, I have to say that doctors really don’t get a good reputation in literature. Very few of them are considered nice, sane, or particularly helpful. This list is obviously skewed by my interest in psychology, so I hope that anyone who comments will be able to provide some more positive depictions of doctors.

I’ve seen better depictions of thearpists than I have doctors in literature. But maybe that’s because I read mostly about mental health.
