Hi Guido -

To make this work more easily I inserted a column with dummy labels (a
through f). The cell above a and to the left of Dr X is blank.

Dr X Dr Y Dr Z
a 2:03 3:00 1:00
b 0:20 2:00 0:30
c 0:40 1:00 0:30
d 2:45 1:00
e 0:15
f 2:10

Select the range and make a stacked bar chart, with the series in rows.
The doctors are linked by the series (series "a" has a value for each,
for example).
