The Bodyguard only stops one attacker from killing their target. Therefore, if two attackers attack the Bodyguards target, the target will still die even if the Bodyguard is healed. If both the Mafia and SK attacked the doctor, the doctor would end up dying.

Other ways this combo can be broken is by a Transporter, Escort, Consort, Pirate, Witch/Coven Leader or Jailor interfering. Any attacks that are Unstoppable also break the chain, such as an Arsonist ignition or Jester haunt. Lots of "ifs" in your argument. "If" there are the correct roles in the game, "if" two attackers attack the same target. We shouldn't be introducing specific roles to counter strategies, since there's always a good chance that those roles won't appear, will die off too early, or will be doing something unrelated to the BG/Doc combo. It's like introducing a Neutral Killing role that has a 1/4 chance of being rolled in Ranked Mode to solve 100% of the times where people do a meta strategy.
