It depends on what you're trying to say.

If you had the possibility of being a doctor, you could have been a doctor.

If it was in your best interest to be a doctor, you should have been a doctor.

Or if you're trying to distinguish between "could of" and "could have", it should be, you could have been a doctor.

"You could have been a doctor" is correct. This sentence implies that becoming a doctor was a possibility in the past. "You should have been a doctor" implies that becoming a doctor was the correct choice in the past.

Is 'I write You' a correct sentence?

The "Y" in you should not be capitalized and while it takes only a noun and a verb to make a sentence - which "I write you" has - it isn't a correct sentence because the tense of the verb is incorrect. "I will write you" would be a correct sentence with the correct verb tense. You could begin a sentence, albeit it sounds a bit odd, with the words "I write you" as in "I write you this letter today in an attempt to appeal to your empathetic side", however "I write you" is not a correct sentence alone.
