C ~ Cardiac Surgeon - A cardiac surgeon is a surgeon who performs cardiac surgery - operative procedures on the heart and great vessels. The 8th Doctor's first companion, Dr. Grace Holloway, is a cardiac surgeon.
In the 1996 TV movie Enemy Within, the 7th Doctor was gunned down after becoming caught in the middle of a gang shoot-out in San Francisco. He is taken to hospital to be cared for and to have the bullets removed. The Doctor is wheeled into the operating theatre where his X-rays reveal two hearts which are racing wildly. The puzzled medical staff page the on-call cardiologist, Dr. Grace Holloway, who rushes back to the hospital and performs surgery on him to repair his heart (not knowing about his alien physiology). The cardiac surgery goes wrong and the Doctor appears to die on the operating table but, in actuality, he has stopped his hearts to escape the surgery and regenerate in the privacy of a morgue.
