Poll of the Week: Doctor You'd Want To Treat You?

[Randal Shayne]

Doctor, doctor, gimme the blues! Medical professionals are steadfast parts of any Star Trek series, Just as captains and first officers have their distinctive personalities, the series’ doctors are a varied and fascinating bunch, each with their own specific skills, weaknesses and quirks. Sometimes even their sense of medical ethics goes against what is generally accepted, such as with Drs. Phlox and Russel. Of course, part of healthcare is choosing which doctor you feel most comfortable with. 

With that in mind, this week’s poll asks you which Star Trek doctor you’d feel most comfortable being treated by. Assume time differences are not an issue. Would you prefer the irascible but caring Dr. McCoy? Perhaps the enthusiastic Dr. Bashir fits your image of a desirable medical practitioner. Give us your vote, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Phlox - all day every day. 😄

Got to be Dr. Selar all the way. Dr. Crusher would run a close second, but I would prefer the cold logic of a Vulcan to give it to me straight rather than the typical "break it to them softly" approach most doctors want to employ. Besides, who could resist those ears of hers?

I'd have to go with "Bones." If you read my wiki page, you will know why...
