10: Doctor Timothy Sweo (Bad Doctors)
When Terry Ragland went to the doctor hoping to learn more about her lower back pain. The doctor gave her a diagnosis that was shocking and pretty unprofessional. Having done his assessment, Ragland’s physician told her she was suffering from a case of a “ghetto booty”. Oh, we’re not joking.

9: Doctor Wlodzimierz Szepielow
