Marcus Welby from the US series 'Marcus Welby M.D.'
Dr. Kildare (don't know if he's already been mentioned)
Owen M.D. (from a BBC series of that name back in the early 70s)
I'm surprised that nobody from E.R. has cropped up, so...
Dr. Doug Ross
Dr. Luka Kovac
Dr. Elizabeth Corday
Dr. Romano
Dr. John Carter
Dr. Greene (can't remember his first name)
Dr. Weaver
Dr. Springfield
Assuming the 'Dr. John H. Watson' referred to earlier was Sherlock Holmes' sidekick, he *may* have been based on a real person, but Dr. Watson is regarded as fictional, so he still counts, IMHO.

John Watson was not Holmes's *sidekick*, he was Holmes's *friend*.

According to my copy of the OED, a sidekick is a 'close associate' (colloq.). As an associate is a 'partner, companion or colleague' (also from the OED), I think 'close associate' or 'sidekick' covers their relationship. Besides, I thought we were submitting names, not nitpicking over semantics.

Fine, whatever. Well, I can't think of any right now. Wait...

Dougie Howser (sp?) MD
'Bones' McCoy

Geggs Posted Jun 24, 2004
It's a thinly vieled pseudonym used in one Hammer horror film. Take out the dot and the space and it should make sense.

How about Quincy 
Or Nursey from Blackadder II (a.k.a Bernard)
You could also easily delve into the cast list of E.R, Casualty, Holby City, etc.
