Yup. He is the most unconscious Doctor of them all, without doubt. Especially in his last season, where everything erupts into crazed death, violence and doom-mongering - whereas the earlier stories are a bit more fluffy and daft and filled with space frogs. Caves still reduces me to a little pile of rubble every time: it's that bit where he says 'Why don't you just leave me here to die?' and actually means it that you realise quite how stuffed he is. Usually he's all stoic and 'just a flesh wound', no matter how thumped about he is.
It's not just physical abuse, either: he gets the whole psychological fun of Dead Companion Angst too (although since it's Adric, possibly he was dancing in a quiet corner of the TARDIS without us knowing). AND he has to put up with Tegan. Truly he was the most tormented of them all...
(Psst: it's Davison, not Davidson. /anal spelling thing.)
