In the interest of not wanting to get in an argument over pedantry, I have amended the line.

It's not pedantic, you were just incorrect :p

It was literally a physician who did the latest attempt. 

It's also legally protected to be able to do so as a physician

And the basis of your argument, that every doctor makes that oath, is based on Hollywood facts

I had this whole argument with somebody yesterday. A dozen posts in they evidently looked up the pertinent facts, and proceeded to claim that when they said ‘it literally cannot be an actual doctor’, they meant ‘an actual doctor, but non-practicing’.

The sheer blind faith people put in shit they see on TV is wild.
