cFbZ*_ How many times, and in what episodes did McCoy utter a phrase something like: "I'm a doctor, not a ------" (bricklayer, engineer, etc.).
lab (04/06/83)
Some of McCoy's "I'm a doctor, not a ..." "Mirror, Mirror": Scotty needs some help to get the conditions right for return to Federation universe from Empire universe: McCoy: "I'm a doctor, not an engineer." Scott: "NOW you're an engineer." "Horta" (veracity of title not guaranteed) McCoy examines silicon- based life that Kirk has asked him to heal: McCoy: "I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer! You realize that thing is made of out stone?" Kirk: "You're a healer; there's a patient." "The Deadly Years" Spock asks McCoy to make him less sensitive to sub-120 degree temperatures: McCoy: "I'm not a magician, Spock, just an old country doctor." Spock: "Yes, as I always suspected." "This Side of Paradise" (Paradise Syndrome?) Elias Sandoval wonders what work to assign to McCoy: McCoy: "I'm a doctor." Elias: "We have no need of doctors..." McCoy: "Then how about making me a mechanic, so I can fix little tin gods like you." ----- Quick question from the "Deadly Years": was the name of the pencil-pushing commodore "Stecker"? Sounds like too much of a cross between Stowe (Court-Martial) and Decker (Doomsday Machine) Besides Mendez (Menagerie), were there any other commodores in the series? Not bad for not watching since 1977, Larry Bickford decvax!decwrl!qubix!lab

There is one more disclaimer by Bones, that everyone is forgetting. In 'Let that be your last Battlefield' (about the half-black, half- white aliens), just after the first one showed up (his name was Loki, I believe), Kirk stops by sick-bay to talk with him and finds him missing. Kirk turns to McCoy and asks him where Loki is, and McCoy says: This is a mighty big ship, Jim, and I'm just an old country doctor. Loosely quoted, but essentially correct.

I don't know, but the worst example of "I'm a doctor..." was "...not an Escalator"(tm?) in an early episode with Julie Newmar as an expectant mother. Mike

Oops, I forgot another Starfleet Commodore: Barstow (The Alternative Factor)

One Fleet Captain was Captain Barth . Episode was set in a hospital for the criminally insane but I don't remember the title. J. Johnson ihuxl!esj

I've seen so much Bones trivia, I'm beginning to suspect that the only thing he never claimed not to be is Patty O'Furniture.

Actually it was Captain Garth of Izar. The name of the episode was "Whom G-ds destroy" and Bones didn't say damnit at all. I do think that Spock said facinating about Garths shape changing ability OZ seismo!rlgvax!oz
