Benevolent Doctors and Nurses

Benevolent Doctors and Nurses are heroes and heroines or medical experts in fiction who ensure people are healthy. A common trope in the historical drama, fantasy, science fiction, drama, and comedy genres, they often come across as pediatricians, medical officers, school nurses, soldiers, veterinarians.

Pediatricians are often featured in children's shows, caring for the hero/heroine and his/her friends, in addition to the children of the neighborhood they live in.

Benevolent Doctors and Nurses can be strict, overconfident, and/or scatterbrained, but they also come across as caring, sympathetic, protective, funny, empathetic, and aware of the insecurities of the people and animals placed in their care. Although Benevolent Doctors and Nurses are often firm, many can serve as comic relief, and even those can be nurturers, be keenly aware of offensive stereotypes, and stand up for minorities.

Two of the most noteworthy examples are Madam Pomfrey and Dr. Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy.

Whether they're taking care of little kids or tending to soldiers wounded in battle, these are the medical experts that every patient wants to impress.
