Julian: “we have to do FRONTIER MEDICINE”
I imagine this is exactly what Bashir was imagining when he found out he was to be stationed at DS9 (and this excited him)
The real answer, if I remember, is that DS9 did not have Federation health functionality because it was a Cardassian outpost and was in pretty bad disrepair.
Maybe in the first year, but by season 6 they should be up to federation standards and even carrying rare medical materials such as bio-memetic gel.
That was also a plot point a few times related to the food replicators and the holodeck.
Moopsy: Did someone say bones?
I have been randomly saying ‘Moopsy!’ for the past few days.
You are not making this any easier.
I just want to know what Paramount executive OK’d this episode but didn’t then immediately begin production on moopsy-related items to purchase. I need a moopsy plush!
The same idiot that didn’t immediately greenlight Strange New Worlds. Also happens to be the same idiot staring at Star Trek: Legacy and deciding whether or not to greenlight it.
Disney did it right with the freaking porgs when Episode VIII dropped. Those things were everywhere
Disney are masters at marketing. CBS/Paramount have no clue what they’re doing.
In other words, when it comes to marketing (and a considerable number of other decisions) Disney are the Romulans. Don’t always make the right decision, and they definitely don’t make friends, but they’re effective and insidious.
CBS/Paramount might as well be Pakleds. Effectively braindead and somehow stumbling through just enough success to keep themselves alive.
“I don’t have a big enough helmet to approve production of moopsy plushes.”
Just in case anyone feels that comparing CBS Parount’s toy tie-in marketing to Pakleds is unfair, I submit this evidence:
It wasn’t even necessarily Disney’s lead on this one. Lucasfilm has always used Star Wars as a vehicle to sell toys, and that didn’t change since the Disney acquisition.
Granted, Disney is good at that as well, so it was a pretty good match up.
O’Brien must suffer!
So the Scottish-descended person was kind to the Irish-descended person and did her best to ease his pain, but the English-descended person had no regard for the Irish-descended person’s pain and acted cruelly?
Tbf the English have no regard for English people’s pain too.
We are an apathetic people. I could easily see that continuing into the 24th century!
That’s why Picard was dubbed as French despite him clearly being English. He was disowned by his homecountry for giving too much of a shit about people.
That’s my new head cannon lol. I take issue with Picard being fr*nch but that’s still better than English “people”
To be fair, Julian isn’t exactly british. Judging by the name bashir, and his parents, he is likely supposed to have an Indian or perhaps middle eastern ethnicity, but I agree that his accent sounds very british to my euro ears.
He just wanted to elicit an emotional response from Chief.
It’s preventive medicine. If the chief doesn’t have an associated painful memory, how’s he going to avoid that activity in the future?
Your logic tracks because Bev didn’t follow that logic and it happened to him again
Reminds me of that US-whatever-armed-forces medic who would give drunk soldiers high-pressure saline enemas by stomping on an IV bag connected to their rectum.
I feel like a medic in the field fucking with his Joe’s like that, is going to have a really difficult time. He better hope he never gets detached to a patrol
The man has enough PTSD, leave him alone!
Frontier medicine.
I bet O’Brien was happier with the quicker solution. “Jaysus Croist doc, just pop the bloody thing back in there!”
The Osteo-thingy-magic might be less painful and/or better for the patients in other ways and Julien just did not give a flying F
Crusher probably didn’t have the combination of strength and precision to do it properly.
Bashir on the other hand had both due to genetic engineering.Huh? Doctors do this today with no genetic engineering required. Also Dr Crusher was pretty capable considering the shit she beat out of people in the past.
Her name is literally “Crusher”
Right, she’s Crusher, not Uncrusher.
That doesn’t mean it’s less damaging than using future-tech to do it nicely.
I never said that it was. I think you misunderstood something somewhere.
The original top level comment said that Bashir pushing his shoulder back into place was able to be done properly with precision and strength granted by engineering and that Crusher wouldn’t have had the strength or precision to do it correctly. All I said was that the genetic engineering argument makes no sense as doctors today use the same technique and they’ve never been genetically engineered. Also that Crusher was more than strong enough to do so when she’s beat the shit out of people.
I’m not commenting on the technology or its use/lack of use in any way. Just that its nonsensical to say that genetic engineering is why Bashir decided to manually set the shoulder.
Today, if you dislocate your shoulder once, it’s much more likely to pop out again. I figure crusher treated it like he hadn’t done it a hundred times already and Julian had probably already popped it back in for him dozens of times. Seems pretty in character for him to assume if miles didn’t care enough to be gentler on his shoulder he shouldn’t either.
How many striped rave fits does Miles own haha
He saw some shit during the dominion war
