Why is Doctor Strange to the left of JD from Scrubs? Isn't he a world renown surgeon or something? Does that count for less because he hasn't had medical practice lately?

Not to mention less formal training than Dr. Quinn? At least he’s studied modern medicine and has specialty years after surgery residency.

I'll be honest, I don't recognize that character. What are they from?

From the show Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Quinn,_Medicine_Woman ran 1993-1998.

If I had to guess it's because JD is more of a general physician. Strange was a neurosurgeon before the accident that crippled his hands and led him to study the Mystic Arts. So not only can he not perform surgery anymore without magic but if he was working on you, then you were pretty much in life or death territory anyway.

Dr. Strange had his injury in 1963, he probably went through medical school in the 1950's and has been studying magic, not medicine ever since. His techniques and knowledge are extremely out of date.
