10 Terrible TV Doctors You Wouldn't Trust With A Cold

5. Dr Fishman (Arrested Development)

Drfishman Tobias isn't the only dodgy doctor in Arrested Development. The other doctor however, is an actual medical doctor, so should be a major step up from Dr. Funke. Unfortunately, Dr. Fishman has a unique problem in that he is just too literal, so much so that Lucille Bluth refers to him as Dr. Wordsmith. While presumably a competent doctor, the problem arises when he has to deliver any news to his patients family. His first appearance came in the episode, "Let Them Eat Cake," when George Senior was one of his patients. When the family came to visit, Dr. Wordsmith said "We lost him." Understandably the family assumed that George Senior had died, but in reality he was literally lost, having escaped out the window. In another instance of his overly literal nature, upon meeting Lindsay Bluth in a later episode, Dr. Wordsmith tells her she looks hot. Lindsay takes it as a compliment but later ends up in hospital with a 104 degree fever. Sure he's not actually a bad doctor, but his news delivery method would be a nightmare to deal with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_HD2MMNv_c
