Some good pics here (note that the picture of the bird-like clothes was to keep off the plague and was strictly 17th century, not medieval), and there are brilliant pictures of ordinary doctors here and here.

and don't forget Chaucer's physician:
In sangwyn and in pers he clad was al,
Lyned with taffata and with sendal;
ie 'In blue and scarlet he was all-clothed
lined with taffeta and with silk'
