3) Christian Gerhaher is BaritonDoc

http://www.gerhaher.de
See press reviews:

"Baritone Christian Gerhaher put his big, smooth voice to impressive use in four strictly macho arias, including an extended one originally intended for Guglielmo in "Cosi fan tutte" but dropped by Mozart as too heavy for the action. This and Figaro's "Se vuol ballare," his taunt to his nemesis, Count Almaviva, fell between the cracks in the "Linz."
Later, there was more Figaro ("Non piu andrai"), along with a switch to Almaviva ("Hai gia vinto la causa"), requiring a heftier tone. All four arias were rendered with such veiled snarl and menace that you wondered if this singer had a lyrical mode. Indeed he did. As an encore, he turned oily seducer in Don Giovanni's balcony serenade, complete with mandolin accompaniment."

Andrew L. Pincus - The Berkshire Eagle, 02.08.2008
 
"Between the movements Christian Gerhaher, a baritone with a rich tone and a seemingly infallible ear for dramatic phrasing, gave rich-hued accounts of the concert aria 'Rivolgete a lui lo sguardo' (K. 584) and 'Se vuol ballare,' from 'Le Nozze di Figaro.'
Later in the program Mr. Gerhaher returned to give vital performances of two more 'Figaro' arias, 'Non più andrai' and 'Hai già vinta la causa,' and, as an encore, 'Deh vieni alla finestra,' from 'Don Giovanni.'"

Allan Kozinn - New York Times, 02.08.2008
"Saturday night in Harris Hall, baritone Christian Gerhaher sang an extraordinarily fine program of Schumann songs. Gerhaher's shock of curly hair and shy demeanor drew his audience close, and his silky sound wove an entrancing spell. His high baritone soared easily to gleaming high notes, with no sense of strain. He displayed an actor's attention to words and their meaning, coupled with a musician's sense of phrasing and dynamics. The music just flowed. Each song in "Dichterliebe," the centerpiece of the evening, had tremendous individuality, while fitting seamlessly with the ones around it. That's outstanding lieder singing.

Harvey Steiman - THE ASPEN TIMES, Aspen, Co Colorado, July 30, 2008
"[...] That last song, a sort of second movement to the much shorter ones that came before, sounded not unlike “Der Leiermann” from Schubert’s Winterreise when flute and baritone presented their lamento over the double bass’ pedal point. Suddenly the work’s greatness was easy to detect and feel. And throughout there was Gerhaher’s pianissimo that stood in the room as if spoken: immovable, utterly exposed, with deadly accuracy and such great delicacy and control that only superlatives would do it justice: think of a cellist, who manages to get the finest, yet softest tone from his instrument instantaneously, instead of wiggling his way to the right pitch and dynamic level. That’s how Gerhaher’s “Ewig”. They really were “ewig” as they faded into the silence of the Herkulessaal, not hushed but nearly inaudible – terrific!"

9) Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was TheologyDoc and WriterDoc

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

Lessing was born in Kamenz, a little town in Saxony. His father was a clergyman and the author of theological writings. After visiting Latin School in Kamenz (from 1737 onwards) and the Fürstenschule St. Afra in Meissen (from 1741 onwards) he studied theology and medicine in Leipzig (1746-1748).

From 1748 to 1760 he lived in Leipzig and Berlin and worked as reviewer and editor for, amongst others, the Vossische Zeitung. In 1752 he took his Master's degree in Wittenberg. From 1760 to 1765 he worked in Breslau (now Wroclaw) as secretary to General Tauentzien. In 1765 he returned to Berlin, only to leave again in 1767 to work for three years as a dramaturg and adviser at the German National Theatre in Hamburg. There he met Eva König, his future wife.

11) Jonathan Miller is DirectorDoc

Jonathan Miller
Theater and opera director Jonathan Miller is a “physician and neuropsychologist, a prolific author and lecturer,” wrote The New York Times. “[He] knows more than a little about everything. He combines qualities that shouldn’t be combined in one person: he is both a performer and a thinker.”
 
Miller first gained international prominence with Beyond the Fringe, the 1960 play that redefined the boundaries of comedy, launching a lunatic legacy that has stretched from Monty Python to Saturday Night Live. He has enjoyed one of the most stellar careers in modern theater, directing countless plays (including 11 for the BBC’s Shakespeare series) and over 50 operas at some of the world’s most distinguished venues from La Scala to The Metropolitan Opera.
 
He has written and presented several major series for the BBC and PBS including The Body in Question, a landmark series on the history of medicine and, most recently, A Brief History of Disbelief. His books include The Human Body, The Facts of Life, Subsequent Performances, Nowhere in Particular and On Reflection, based on his lectures.
 
For colleges and universities interested in an extended visit, Dr. Miller accepts occasional one or two-week residencies. His multidisciplinary expertise has made these very popular.

12) Miller Emanuel (his father) was PhilosopherDoc and ZoologyDoc

http://www.preventionaction.org/people/pioneering-child-guidance-millers-tale

Had Emanuel Miller's introduction to the UK of the child guidance movement – the precursor of child and adolescent mental health services – been his only achievement, it would have been enough by itself to earn him his place among the pioneers of modern thinking and practice on behalf of children's health and development.

Born in 1893 in Whitechapel, London to emigre parents from Lithuania, Miller won a scholarship to Cambridge University where he studied natural and moral sciences. Throughout his life, he maintained a keen interest in both science, especially zoology, and theology. He was a gifted Hebrew scholar but returned to London and qualified in medicine in 1918 before returning to Cambridge to extend his studies in Psychological Medicine.

He devoted particular attention to child psychology, child psychotherapy and child guidance, and in 1926 – long before the formation of the National Health Service – he became Honorary Director of the East London Child Guidance Clinic, the first of its kind in Europe. He was instrumental in opening a similar clinic at the West End Hospital for Nervous Diseases.

13) Tom Tarter is CarDoc

TarterTarter

I soon learned that Tom was not your typical incoming med student. Hailing from the Bronx in New York City, Tom was 31 years old, recently divorced, and had formerly worked as a bouncer, psychiatric orderly, and auto mechanic. He told me it had taken him 14 long years to get into medical school. With his unconventional background, I knew immediately that he had to be in our film about the training of doctors. I was particularly intrigued to see how Tom would fit into the rather elitist Harvard Medical School community.

Carl von Linné, Alexander Roslin, 1775.
Currently owned by and displayed at the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Carl Linnaeus (Carl Linné, Latinized as Carolus Linnaeus, also known after his ennoblement as Carl von Linné  (help·info), May 23 new style (13 May old style), 1707[1]January 10, 1778) was a Swedish botanist, physician and zoologist[2] who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of Binomial nomenclature. He is known as the father of modern taxonomy, and is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology (see History of ecology).

In 1735 Linnaeus moved to the Netherlands, where he was to spend the next three years. Here he earned his only academic degree, at the University of Harderwijk, in 6 days. This degree in Medicine consisted of a three day printing job of his botanical notes in Latin.

Arriving in Stockholm, he settled as a physician. In September 1739 Linnaeus married Sara Elisabeth Morea (Moræaus) and the marriage took place at her family farm Sveden outside Falun; Sara he had met on one of his first scientific journeys to the county of Dalarna already five years earlier 1734. In 1739 he was one of the founders of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (Kungliga vetenskapsakademin). In 1741 he ascended to the chair of medicine at Uppsala and moved there. The position was soon exchanged for the chair of botany.[10]

18) Ulf Johannsen is GuitarDoc and Lied-singer

Born in 1968 I worked as a nurse for 15 years, in the end in psychosomatic hospitals. After a life crisis I made further studies in holistic medicine and as a meditation teacher. After a spiritual experience I received my first song "God I want to live!"

Ever since these songs come to me and I have published 5 albums so far. These spiritual songs are not limited to a certain belief. I have left medicine to dedicate my life to music. I am married to Silke and we live in Ammerland (Germany/Niedersachsen) with our kids Jan and Janine.

as President of the Serb Republic
PoliticDoc
He was a fugitive from 1996 until July 2008 after having been indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)[1]. The indictment concluded there were reasonable grounds for believing he committed war crimes including genocide, against Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat civilians during the Bosnian War (1992–1995)[2]. While a fugitive he worked at a private clinic in Belgrade specialising in alternative medicine and psychology under the alias Dr. Dragan David Dabić (Др Драган Давид Дабић) under the company name of “Human Quantum Energy”[3]. In 2007 he lived in Vienna, Austria under the name Petar Glumac posing as the Croatian seller of herbal solutions and ointments[4]. His nephew, Dragan Karadžić has claimed in an interview to the Corriere della Sera that Radovan Karadžić attended football matches of Serie A and that he visited Venice under the false identity of Petar Glumac[5].
He was arrested in Belgrade on 18 July, 2008 and brought before Belgrade’s War Crimes Court a few days after[6]. He was extradited to the Netherlands, and is currently in The Hague, in the custody of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Karadžić has not yet entered a plea; his next appearance is scheduled for 29 August 2008.[7]

22) Gabriele Soyka is SingingDoc

In My Fair Lady she had the role of Mrs Pearce


Gabriele Soyka (on stair) with Evelyne Wehrens as Eliza

Singing in all possible sparts, I like to do since many years. My best teacher, I ever had, was ANNA REYNOLDS in Mannheim. I`ve visited many Master- and summer-courses in Austria, Italy and Germany. I prefere to sing songs from Schubert, Schumann, Brahms a.s.o., but also opera-arias or oratorien for example from J.S.Bach......To sing the II.Dame in the performance of "Zauberflöte" from W.A.Mozart I would enjoy very much!!

Yours, Gabriele

otherwise she works as a general practitioner in Heidelberg.

The direction put it as if it wold be a fight between Torero and a bull in the spanish "sport" bullfighting
and people are watching with little emphasis - sometimes in politics there is only little difference.
