After signing of the Will by testator, the will should be attested by two or more witnesses. Each of the witness are required to see the testator sign or affix his mark to the will or see some other person sign the will, in the presence and by the direction of the testator. Also, the witnesses can receive from the testator a personal acknowledgment of his signature or mark, or of the signature of such other person and it would be valid. Finally, each of the witnesses must sign the will in the presence of the testator. There is no requirement that more than one witness should be present at the same time, and no particular form of attestation is required.
No hassle in second witness being a doctor.

In a will, you can make witness any one, whether the family member of the testator,or friends but make sure that any one who is becoming witness should be ready to come to court whenever probate of will is done.
