We're talking about the medical professionals of Trek, including:
- the changing prominence of doctors and medicine in Star Trek
- uh, does Phlox actually have a medical degree?
- our favourite doctor (and the good characters versus the ones we'd want actually treating us)
- Liz's nursing rant and Anika's related ER rant (it's on topic! We promise!)
- we have ... questions about Klingon medicine
- mental health professionals
- medical technology
Episodes discussed in detail:
- "Miri" (TOS)
- "The Child" and "Ethics" (TNG)
- "The Quickening" (DS9)
- "Critical Care" (VOY)
There's also a lot more discussion than usual about Covid and US politics after about the one hour mark, which we're flagging in case you're tired and need to prioritise escapism.
