Who is the best 'Star Trek' Doctor: Phlox, McCoy, Crusher, Polaski, Bashir or the hologram?
I personally liked Phlox the most. He had an urban witch doctor kind of way with his ethnic type cures and natural ways with bugs and insect more than the injector the hologram was so quick to solve EVERYTHING with. McCoy was such a loudmouth grating kind of character who did little medical work Polaski was an bitter miserable woman Crusher was a little ditsy as a doctor I thought, no real power for someone in that position. Bashir was a pansy and I wouldn't let him touch me That's my vote and my opinion.
Each character was great for their show. But for shear knowledge I would have to pick Voyager's Dr. and Phlox. I really liked McCoy, but he rarely practiced medicine. Crusher was great but she got would get side tracked by Wesley or her drama club. I liked Polaski because it showed that an experienced medical woman counted. Bashir was just there. I really found it hard to connect with that character.
tough question. I'll have to go with McCoy. He had a great personality always arguing with Spock and of course the best line in Star Trek He's dead Jim . On his medical practice he was very good. Crusher I liked just cause she's so HOT! I loved TNG for that Bashir The EMH was good too but his knowledge was based on other medical personnel. I loved how he was sarcastic most of the time and always complaining about not being turned off and everything he was jokes. Bashir I didn't really care for him as a doctor he was more of a wimp then anything else. Only watched a handfull of Enterprise episode never cared for any of the cast.
i think the emh is the best. my reasoning being he was very eclectic. he did have an advantage possessing all that past knowledge... but bashir had an advantage too and didn't do much. crusher was equally creative if not more so. the emh just proved himself invaluable as a crew member. he helped them communicate long distances and from the future. he even served as a civil rights leader for other holograms. just seems like he accomplished a lot more.
