Objection! That’s a picture of Doctor Ogawa, chief medical officer of the Enterprise in an alternate quantum reality.

But then there’s no Geordi! Is it really worth the promotion?

Ogawa was initially a nurse on TNG but decided to become a physician and medical officer.

Give Tom a break. He got forced into being the nurse because he took biochemistry classes before getting kicked out of the academy.

Plus, he’s juggling nursing duties with his full time job as the pilot. And his side gig as a commando team leader. While moonlighting as a spy. And despite all that he’s still finds the time to develop an encyclopedic knowledge of twentieth century earth. And let’s not forget that he also designed engines with a top speed of infinity. He’s the most competent man in Star Fleet. Not bad for a dropout and ex-con.

Pretty sure if you Tuvixed Paris and O’Brian, combining Paris’s competence with O’Brian’s work ethic, you’d get some sort of god.

Stop tempting fate

I’ve ranted about this before, but the lead pilot as a nurse is a bizarre management decision by Janeway. He has two critical jobs when shit hits the fan.

I don’t know that Kes was all that good either. She just followed around The Doctor and did whatever he said.

@ummthatguy@lemmy.world avatar

She learned quickly and listening to the Doctor can’t be seen as a negative. Excepting when it comes to bodily autonomy.

I don’t remember her doing much to show she could do anything on her own.

ummthatguy OP ,
@ummthatguy@lemmy.world avatar

She found her way eventually.

The doctor specifically mentions her remarkable memory for medical knowledge.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, but what did she actually do?

flatplutosociety ,
@flatplutosociety@lemmy.world avatar

Did she really have to? Nurses act independently in regular medical settings, but when there’s a doctor with the sum total of a civilization’s medical knowledge available 24/7, everyone else is just a pair of helping hands.

AngryHumanoid ,

You just accidentally described most of the companions in Doctor Who…

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but they aren’t nurses.

chaogomu ,

Except that several of them were...

There was Rory Williams as the main standout, but Martha Jones was working as a nurse when she joined the show. She was still at the end of Med School, and it was a (very minor) plot point at one point when she earned her doctorate.

Strax also counts, Well, he did until the Doctor screwed up and got him killed. The resurrected Strax was not much of a nurse.

There were a few more who were outright medical doctors when they joined the show. One was a British Navy surgeon, and the one that might not count, the cardiologist from the Doctor Who movie, which most people sort of ignore.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I forgot about Rory, but Martha was a medical student studying to be a doctor, not a nurse. And both of them were competent independent of the Doctor. I wouldn’t count Strax as a companion.

AngryHumanoid ,

I’m sorry are we including Dr. Toby “Bodycount” Russell in the good column?

ummthatguy OP ,
@ummthatguy@lemmy.world avatar

Strictly nurses. Also, never.

AngryHumanoid ,

Isn’t that the one in red?

Nurse Jabara on DS9

Never mind, I like her better already!

But can any of those other nurses tune a carburetor?

Or have their own commemorative plate?

Treat yourself! The crossover SNW/LD episode was one of the greatest Trek episodes of all time!

While you’re at it, buy yourself a commemorative plate.
