Whenever Fox’s House goes off the air, the title character may want to consider going into private practice. According to a survey conducted by the American Board of Medical Specialties, Gregory House, the misanthropic physician played by HUGH LAURIE on the Fox drama House, is the TV doctor most people would want as their doctor. Here’s a look at the complete list of choices:* 20% - Gregory House - House
* 13% - Marcus Welby - Marcus Welby, M.D.
* 11% - Hawkeye Pierce - M*A*S*H
* 10% - John Carter - ER

The following doctors each received less than 10 percent of the vote:

* Cliff Huxtable - The Cosby Show
* Miranda Bailey - Grey’s Anatomy
* Derek Shepherd - Grey’s Anatomy
* Michaela “Mike” Quinn - Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
* Doogie Howser - Doogie Howser, M.D.
* Jack Shephard - Lost
* James Kildare - Dr. Kildare
* Frasier Crane - Frasier

While House would be in demand, there are also people who want nothing to do with him. He also finished second when it came to which doctor people said they wouldn’t want to treat them. Here’s a look:

* 17% - Doogie Howser - Doogie Howser, M.D.
