Yeah he clearly has a staff, which IIRC is entirely Bajoran.

I don't recall any reference to any other doctors through.

I also just assumed that was part of the federations deal with bajor, having a Starfleet doctor there to teach them how to use the fancy medical supplies and procedures that the cardassians probably didn't let them have.

i figure bajor was perfectly happy to let starfleet assign a doctor to this borderline derelict station they didn't care about. it beats having to waste one of their own undoubtedly scarce doctors on it. and then, well, stuff happened.

there had to be preexisting bajoran doctors throughout the occupation, but they probably weren't very well trained or numerous. if not, then the cardassians would have been the ones who had to keep all of their workers going and that's not really their style.

I don't think they particularly cared if they kept their workers going. There's always more bajorans available

they would have trained a bare minimum of bajoran doctors to the bare minimum proficiency with the bare minimum in supplies. otherwise there could quite easily be plagues which could then infect cardassians. also, the cardassians did need the miners to keep working. i dunno why that is, but star trek mining never makes sense.

What's the difference between a cardassian and a romulan? Cardassians are more torture heavy? Romulans more up their own asses?

The Cardassians had the balls to actually fight a war with the Federation. The Romulans didn't. Then they fought another war with the Federation like 15 year later because they're idiots.

there's a fair bit of overlap, which is why the tal'shiar and obsidian order teamed up. however, cardassians are obsessed with the idea of efficiency, though not necessarily actual efficiency. romulans are all about schemes, the more elaborate the better.

The difference between Romulans and Cardassians is that Cardassians are better realised as a culture.

yeah, i wish we had gotten more detailed looks at romulan society. they're so fun! but even the spock 2-parter where they actually infiltrated romulus didn't really go further than "boy, we romulans sure do love betrayal". and well, the less said about nemesis and picard the better.

DS9 probably showed the Romulans at their most complex, with inter-Empire politics playing out under the weight of the Dominion invasion.

I think early on they say 300 people, which surprised me last watch.

They say 300 in early season one but about 2000 by the middle of the show.

Honestly for all that Picard is awful the expansion on Romulan culture in S1 wasn't completely terrible, there was some neat stuff in there. The stuff we learn about on the cube that's not the dumb Zhat Vash conspiracy.

Even the candor nuns kinda work as this idea that their rejection of Romulan secret culture is cultivating a mindset where you can't even have the concept of secrecy.

remember, the reason why all of the native american stuff on voyager was completely nuts was because they hired a weird white dude who pretended to be native american as their consultant. also, the fact that he was a weird white dude in redface had already come out long before he was hired for voyager.
