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, here , here , 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'
