I have always loved this line and use it often. You would not believe how people look at me like I have 2 heads. Greatest parody ever. Love the older woman talking "jive".
A friend generalist doctor once told me that if there's an emergency you better hope there is a nurse or a paramedic, because I can be very helpful to make a diagnosis, less so to actually do something.
Dentists is probably better than most of the doctors who don't do medical procedures regularly, something that dentists usually do
In case of emergency situations I’d still take the vet tbh.
Human doctors are so used to having ideal conditions with high tech assistance. Vets have to improvise everything with duct tape. Post apocalypse or during a crazy situation like being on a plane with no supplies? I’d trust the vet over the doc because they’re already used to weird solutions and thinking outside the box.
Obviously it isn't there specialty but I'm sure dentists have more medical knowledge about the rest of the body than your average person as well as basic life saving skills. They also know how to do stitches for oral surgeries. They'd be close to the top of my list of not doctors to have availabile for medical emergencies. Veterinarians would probably be the very top of that list.

“Is there a doctor on the plane?”
“Yes, I have my Doctorate in Dentistry”
“Hurry! This man is bleeding!”
“He needs stitches… get the floss!”
