I love Doctor Beverly Crusher! She's my favourite out of them all and I think she's just wonderful! Episodes revolving around her personal life usually weren't so great, like when she was dating that Trill, for a while, things like that. But when episodes focus on her in sickbay, I'm a committed viewer. I don't get up, for anything ... Gates' acting wasn't as bad as she's so reputed and when she gets smirky, it just cracks me up. Crusher's a great character and I am so glad that Kate Pulaski didn't get the gig. Bev's the kind of doctor I'd want treating me, if such a person could exist ...
I love McCoy (no kidding) and Crusher so I love any episodes that they get more screen time in.
Yeah the medic is also one of the characters in Star Trek:
I love Beverly Crusher as well, I always thought she should have played a more prominent role "The High Ground" and "Ethics" are two of my favorite TNG episodes.
Dr. Pulaski, I think gets more hate than she deserves. She started out rather ghastly and if she was my doctor I would butt heads with her, a lot because I found her dismissive, chicken soup prescribing behavior a bit unprofessional, but over the season she considerably softened and she could have been a great foil for Dr. Crusher.
Dr. Bashir is another character that stats off less than stellar, especially his creeping towards jadzia (who is really, really not worth it imho) but he grows during he got the whole series to grow and by the time of episodes like "The Quickening" he was a passionate, relatable character.
Phlox started off reminding me of Neelix. However he ended up being a mixture of the good parts of Neelix and the EMH without all the parts that made me hate those characters.
It was a bit strange to have this alien character on humanity's first spaceship. but I think the episode that made me really like him was "Dear Doctor".
McCoy and the EMH.....I don't like them very much, let's leave it at that.

"Friday's Child". Many good McCoy moments.
"I'm a doctor, not an escalator!", the trading of bitch slaps between the good doctor and Eleen, McCoy became a father (sorta):
Eleen: "McCoy, bring our child."
Kirk: "Our child?"
McCoy: "I'll explain later."
Spock: "That should prove very interesting.",
and finally McCoy even got the baby named after himself Leonard James Akaar, with an honorable mention to James Kirk of course.

Of the six characters who have been "the doctor," McCoy is easily my favorite, but I feel he never received a good medical episode--a close examination of the man as a healer. The best episodes,IMO, are The Quickening (which could have featured any of the doctors, it's just a good look at passion and ethics) and Critical Care (using the unique qualities of the EMH to excellent effect).
Don't forget the infamous "Sub Rosa". It's just awful.
This one was missed:
DS9 Nor The Battle To The Strong

I think it was more a Jake episode.
Which took place in a medical environment.ETA it also strongly features Bashir as a foil.
True, but Jake is really the center of attention. It doesn't happen very often in the series.
I would add TNG: Samaritan Snare to this list; the episode where Picard and Wesley travel in a shuttle together to Starbase 515, where Picard is to have his artificial heart replaced.
There aren't really all that many scenes that take place in sickbay or in the surgery ward, but there is still quite a bit of discussion about Picard's medical condition, both with Wesley and with Pulaski.
I seem to recall the episode being quite good, but it's been many years since I watched it, and it's received negative to lukewarm reviews.
Which is odd: I mean, how could an episode centered around Wesley, Pulaski and Pakleds ever become anything but popular?

Some more.
TOS:
"The Naked Time"
"The Immunity Syndrome"
"The Omega Glory"
"Plato's Stepchildren"
TAS:
"The Ambergris Element"
"The Pirates of Orion"
"Albatross"
Some of these might be borderline, but there are others also borderline, too.

"Plato's Stepchildren" is embarrassing to watch.
