A doctor could be a notary public only if they have received notary commission from the notary control board of the state they are in. A doctor would not pick this title up automatically when he/she becomes a doctor.

Can a Notary knowingly stamps a document knowing that the person is incoherent?

No. The whole purpose of the notary is to ensure that the person signing the document is competent and knows what they are signing. That is why a notary can not notarize a document unless the signer is in the physical presence of the notary. If a notary affixes his or her stamp to a document, knowing that the person is incoherent and does not understand the document, the notary is guilty of a felony in most states.

Is an affiant and a notary the same thing?

An affiant and a notary are not the same thing. An affiant is the person who signs an affidavit or statement. The notary (often called "notary public") is an official who witnesses the affiant's signature, often by affixing a seal of the state in which the notary is licensed. Note that a notary may not notarize his/her own signature. Therefore, even if an affiant (person who is signing a statement), a separate person who is licensed as a notary must witness and stamp the first affiant's signature. What the notary is notarizing is the person's signature--not the validity of any statement. Is this now clear as mud?
