This is a freaky scenario which makes no sense. Your an officer either IMP or FED. Doesn't matter. and the Medical Driod breaks down when you are injured. Which Doctor do you want to treat you.

McCoy
Crusher
Pulaski
Bashir
The Doctor
Phlox

Why would you want that particular physician to treat you?

McCoy!

He's in my opinion the best doctor in the entire series. he's inventive and can come up with novel solutions.

To answer my own question: Crusher. She's a Hell-of-a-doc! I mean she gets everyone in trouble, the ship at risk, and everything else including federation safety. And gets herself kidnapped just because she's like "Im sorry but Im a doctor, Im going to save this person, so get the !@#$ out of my way." With someone that determined, I think I would be in great hands.

McCoy, nothing like a good country doctor who will give it to you straight. No mumbo jumbo, no wishy washy advice.

"Damnit, Jim! I'm a doctor not Ann Landers!"

Romulan_nemesis · Post by **Romulan_nemesis** » 2002-07-31 02:35pm

So, heres where this ended up. Would you rather McCoy or a Medical Droid?

I know what McCoy would think..."Human wounds are to be treated with Human Hands, not a floating ball of nuts and bolts from an auto body shop. We're bodies, not cars in need of repair! And I'm a Doctor! Not a !@#$ing Mechanic, damnit!"

Maybe not that...expressive though.

McCoy.

He's a real doctor who relies on his medical knowledge rather than a blind faith in technology to solve everything. He also hates transporters.

Plus, having nurse Chapel around is an added bonus.

"Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a faith-healer!"

McCoy - fucking incompetent, doesn't even know how to perform CPR

Crusher - fucking incompetent, doesn't suspect airborne transmission until half the ship is infected

Pulaski - competent heart surgeon, scared of transporters. Definitely a choice.

Bashir - seems to be competent, genetically modified intelligence (but seems to have less respect for ordinary humans)

The Doctor - matter of fact and straightforward

Phlox - barely understands human physology.

I would choose the Holodoc or Pulaski, maybe Bashir.

None of them! I would choose........

Doctor Zoidberg!!

VICTORY! VICTORY FOR ZIM!

Mmmm the Doctor knows every pages of the starfleet medical database since his an EMH mark 1. I prefer him (it, whatever) over Crusher, simply because I don't want to see Weasley around me when I'm recovering.

Master of Ossus · Post by **Master of Ossus** » 2002-07-31 03:13pm

Bashir. He's been genetically engineered, so he has to be good.

Of the others, McCoy seems to be a competent doctor, but Bashir seems better because of his enhancement and because he has superb hand-eye coordination.

Crusher is just terrible.

Phlox is a jerk, but I guess he would be okay.

The EMH program just isn't up to snuff, although he would be my second choice, and Pulaski makes me want to kill people. I love Dr. Zoidberg, even though he "lost" his medical degree. I also liked how he had forgotten if disemboweling people in Fry's species was fatal or non-fatal. And I liked how Fry beat him up using his own severed arm. Still, though, I would go with Bashir.

CorSec · Post by **CorSec** » 2002-07-31 03:27pm

I'd choose McCoy. Why? He doesn't give a rat's ass about the Prime Directive. He'll push whatever pill is needed to not only heal, but also cure someone. Then of course, there's Nurse Chapel.

He's not going to sugar coat anything or 'hope' for the best. (Beverly is hot, and that does weigh heavily into the equation, but it's not enough.)
Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor not a runway model!

Plus he'd be damned before he'd try some kind of homeopathic remedy on a patient. (I like Phlox as a character - but not as a doctor.)
Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor not a third world mystic!

SPOOFE · Post by **SPOOFE** » 2002-07-31 04:22pm

I'd prefer The Doctor. Not only has he managed to keep Janeway and Co. from killing themselves over the course of seven years (something that McCoy wouldn't have been able to do), but he's also a fellow writer and artist. That, and I'm pretty sure I could convince him to slip me a flask of vodka during my recovery...

I'll throw my hat in for the good doctor Evazan. Of course he'd be a natural choice as a plastic surgeon.

Cpt_Frank · Post by **Cpt_Frank** » 2002-08-01 04:24am

Either McCoy, or a medical droid.

why would you want a man wanted in twelve systems to work on you?

McCoy. If the hernia droid is broken too, give me some doctor.

Well he'd obviously make a great plastic surgeon!

McCoy. A doctor who doesn't have blind faith in technobabble.

Somebody was talking about CPR ... I'm curious what are the proper ratios for an 8 chambered heart with unknown lung capacity? Also how deep should compressions go given that the strength of the rib cage is unknown? And lastly given that this is a an alien with relatively unknown physiology where should one place the hands so as to avoid popping the rib cage and driving ribs into vital organs?

The doctor from voyager is my second bet because he also remembers good old fashioned medicine and doesn't relay on half assed technology to pull his arse out of the fire every bloody time.

Romulan_nemesis · Post by **Romulan_nemesis** » 2002-08-02 02:26pm

Dr. McCoy didn't have the medical knowledge he needed for Klingon Anatomy. The Klingons, instead of an after death examination, dispose of thir dead bodies in any way possible. They subconsciously thnk, the more jucier and gorier the death in battle, the more honorable. Aside from the fact that Klingons have 2 hearts. And at that time, the Klingons and the Federation didn't have an interspiecies medical exchange in process.....

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2002-08-02 04:20pm

He didn't know Klingon Anamoty...but are we klingons? no so that has nothing to do with this.

McCoy is the best of the best.

Cyaround,

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2002-08-02 04:24pm

Sry didn't read above disregard the Klingon thingy

And Whatcha mean McCoy can't do CPR? ONE..TWO THREE...ONE TWO THREE BREATH!!!...

Even then that klingon had internal bleeding and died of it...CPR was useless there as we've seen.

Cyaround,
Jason
P.S.- Can ya mods put back the edit button this is getting annoying. thx.

Wicked Pilot · Post by **Wicked Pilot** » 2002-08-02 07:11pm

I wouldn't choose any of them, they're all played by actors. Oh yeah, this is suspension of disbelief, sorry.

I definately wouldn't want to have HoloDoctor. What if some idiot decided to download and install Real Player on the ship's main computer. Everything would go to shit, including the guy/program who's suppost to sow you back up.

Say what you want, I'll take Bacta any day.
