I'm sure there are plenty of Klingon doctors but I bet there aren't any Klingon nurses

I assume Klingon doctors are like Ork Painboyz from Warhammer 40K and it's all about experimental treatment to keep soldiers on their feet more than it is about curing illness. They just don't pussyfoot around and call it "frontier medicine".

Dr Bashir showing up on DS9 and immediately talking to the Bajoran XO about how happy he is to bring real medicine to these disgusting savages is like top 10 Star Trek moments.

Fun Klingon fact: G'agh was invented during battlefield surgery to distract them from the wounds, and the sickos came to love it...

klingon doctors are required to fist-fight any patient that looks like they might die from an illness so that they go to stovokor

Why isn't the transporter one of the main medical devices? Say you develop liver cancer, presto, your new liver transported into you from your personal health buffer, your healthy liver from 30 years ago.

Dabir posted:There's no Klingon doctors. Mad (as in angry) scientists, yes, but Klingon medicine is based on either yelling at you to suck it up, or stabbing you. Remember when Martok had a slash on his arm and he refused treatment until Bashir could see him? Like a Klingon doctor couldn't even handle that.

I love it when Data does inexplicably stupid things, like when he tried to test the adage that a watched pot never boils. Yes, he is a robot man and doesn't understand humanity, sure, but he should know that water will boil at the same rate whether or not you look at it.

It turns out we hit the max storage capacity in current year. Files keep getting bigger, but hard drives don't. That's why they need a dozen space ipads on their desk rather than just one. That's why they can't store all the data they clearly should have access to. No we can't fill the turbolift dimension with hard drives. Stop asking!

That would be pretty interesting. He can be calculating 5 different things while his optical processors are looking at the pot, so it doesn't actually cost him anything to try.

It wasn't actually about the water boiling, it was about if he experienced a different perspective of time while watching it. He knows physics is consistent and humans aren't, so he was figuring out where he fell on the spectrum.

Not like the Klingons just started fighting wars, they've been doing that for thousands of years. Like Doctors would become highly valued for putting warriors back into battle.

Ghostlight posted:because the buffer isn't designed for long-term storage and the contents of it are expected to degrade over time - your new liver might be perfectly fine, or it could've lost half of its genetic information in that time and reconstitute as a slop made of teeth and hair. also the pattern buffer has to be continuously powered that whole time and can't be used for anything else, so you'd have thousands of buffers running on a spaceship that will tolerate absolutely no power interruptions when you could just beam a hologram into their body and head for the nearest space hospital. Sounds like we could improve long term data storage even in the TNG future.

Would a federation toaster even use heating elements as we understand them or does it use force fields to create the perfectly toasted slices of toast I always assumed that by TNG everything was done with force fields being projected out of the ceiling or whatever. Clean the carpet? Force fields. Scrape the poo poo out of your rear end? Force fields.

They simply keep a slice of bread in the pattern buffer until it degrades into toast

I figure a Federation toaster would turn out the same way as the Federation cloaking device that flew through objects it'd obviously do something that no one intended it to or didn't need to.
