Notes from the Sick Bay


Remember Star Trek, when regular cast members were stupidly sent down to the planet to investigate alien life forms & got injured, maimed or genetically modified and were beamed back up to The Enterprise for observation and recovery?

Captain Kirk always flipped the intercom switch from the bridge and checked with McCoy down at Sick Bay to see how they were doing (somehow it was always the nameless, scale-wage extras who paid the ultimate price down there on the planet) and to ask for their advice ... probably a leftover symptom of guilt for placing them in such hazardous situations in the first place.

I spent today in Sick Bay. Off and on five hour naps. Something down there on the un-charted planet must've got me ... and won't let go. Shields up, Mister Zulu.

But what happened to McCoy??? , odd upi hot;

Scotty, I need everything she'll give me. And set all phasers to Stun.
