Always found it surprising during the era of occupational gimmicks we never really seem to have a medical doctor gimmick..
I mean like wrestling gear with the Red Cross on it, comes to wing wearing a long white coat or green scrubs, wearing a stethoscope, holding a clipboard. Accompanied by a valet dressed as a sexy nurse. Seemed so easy. Unless there was and I missed it.
Yeah there was Dr Dave Schultz, Dr Death Steve Williams and the Doctor of Style Slick. But they never used the gimmick. Closest I can think of is Isaac Yankem DDS the evil dentist.

There was a jobber called THE MEDIC in early 90's WCW. He was a heel, too. It was incredible.
Also, it honestly felt like that was the direction they were going in with Mike Knox before they released him. He was beating up Finlay and explaining in medical terms what he had just done and what he was going to do. I think I'm remembering that correctly.

Dr. Cerebro was a doctor gimmick for IWRG in Mexico. There was also Dr. Hurtz on the indies in the northeast.

They could have a doctor character who knocks out his opponent then after the match he gives them CPR and revives them!

Also in (of course) Memphis, there was Dr. Death (no relation to Steve Williams) in the early 90s. Wrestled in full medical scrubs complete with surgical mask. Was accompanied by Nurse Kratchit or something like that, a take-off of the Cuckoo's Nest character. She carried a bed pan and used it as an illegal object in matches.

I always liked Dr. Harvey Wippleman using his stethoscope on jobbers after Sid destroyed them.

I always liked Dr. Hillbilly, he wasn't all full of himself like his arch rival The Iron Yuppie!

Red cross gear would never fly in a major promotion, the international Red Cross are super protective of that trademark.

Every time I think of what a huge missed opportunity Knox was in the WWE, I get mad. The psycho doctor character was absolute money.
