I was watching Doctor Who last evening and caught an inconsistant use of a matter transport device which I thought might amuse everyone: In this episode (sorry don't remember the name), an alien creature has attacked one of the Doctor's comapnions, placing a fast-acting poison into her blood stream. The Doctor gets rid of the poison by placing her in a "transmat" (transporter equivalent) and beaming her to a nearby asteroid. Apparently, in the beaming process, the poison is somehow seperated from her body. Huh??? Could you see McCoy using the transporter as a medical instrument? -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.
