For reference on the no training side:
Dr. Dre and Dr. Venture: Both possess honorary doctorates. The former from UCLA, the latter from a Tijuana community college.
Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.
Dr. Evil: Evil medical school.
Zoidberg: Claims he lost it in a volcano, more likely a art history degree.
Dr. Horrible: Likely physics though he claims Horribleness (though it could be a catchphrase.)
Dr. Seuss: Intended to get a Doctorate of Philosophy, got an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters.
The Doctor: Per This - While pretending to be the Doctor in an effort to save herself from an army of Cybermen, one of the planet’s deadliest enemies, in Death in Heaven, Clara said: ‘I don’t even really have a doctorate. Well Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century.’
Doc: Does become a doctor at Storybrooke hospital in a live action show, "Once Upon a Time", apparently not a surgeon though.
Spin Doctors: No doctors.
I feel like a fair amount of those on the trained side aren't medical doctors (Phil, Ock, Robotnik, Lector, Honeydew) or at the very least, aren't folks you'd want around for your heart attack.
Dr Strange being a professional surgeon and barely making it past the neutral mark on the qualification axis seems, well, a bit strange
I'd put Strange ahead of McCoy. What is McCoy going to do without his Tricorder? He'd rant,
"They used to hand-cut and sew people like garments. Needles and sutures."
I agree he should be a little farther right, but his origin story is all about how his injury specifically prevented him from doing surgery anymore. Plus some iterations of him with the time stone might not have thought about medicine in hundreds of years. His magic also seems to not be healing focused. So I kinda get why he is under qualified comparatively

"Dr Pepper the King of beverages"
jeez, way to gild the lilly. Pick one , either Doctor or King, there's no need to be an audacious Dr King.
"It's the MLK Jr. of beverages!"
(FBI agents hate it.)
Dr. Zoidberg also has mail order degrees in murderology and murderonomy
