[net.startrek] The Spoars...A Medical Breakthrough!

cohn@cad.UUCP (Ted Cohn) (03/08/86)

The spoars seemed like such a good way of curing people.  If one voluntarily
permits himself to become influenced by the spoars, the spoars will cure
him of every disease.  Then someone could start a brawl with the patient
or insult his family or mother and the spoars would be gone, but as McCoy
said, the colonists were in perfect health--a fringe benefit left over by
the spoars!  Well, okay, it's not real, I keep forgetting, but you'd think
McCoy would realize this.
