Across the page there's Michael Crichton (MD), who gave us ground-breaking sci fi in Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain... but also more problematic works like Disclosure and State of Fear, which amplified then fringe narratives about gender politics and expertise.

Waldo Butters in the Dresden Files (who should have a medical degree even if he eschews the title). Notable for impressive development of what starts as a tropey character, moral backbone, and some meticulous foreshadowing when you reread the series.

Thank you! Loving the prompts, had to have a longer play with this one too!
