Dr. Leonard H. McCoy

Dr. Leonard H. McCoy is chief medical officer on the starship U.S.S. Enterprise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.

Video links: He’s dead, Jim! and I’m a doctor! (the McCoyism collection).

Quote: Episode – The Devil In The Dark:

“I’m a doctor, not a …. bricklayer!”

Lyrics of tribute song by S.P.O.C.K.

Senior ship’s surgeon since ’66
Multitalented, knows all the tricks
Been almost everywhere in the galaxy
Traveled time and changed history
Has a running feud with a green-blooded man
Takes every opportunity to argue if he can
He’s one of a kind, says what’s on his mind
You might think he’s complaining when you here him saying

He’s a doctor – not an escalator
He’s a doctor – not a bricklayer
He’s a doctor – not a shuttle-conductor
And everybody knows him as Dr McCoy
He’s a doctor – not an engineer
He’s a doctor – and not a magician
He’s a doctor – not a psychiatrist
And you know that I’m talking about Dr McCoy

Doesn’t like transporters at all
Prefers a shuttle if possible
Suffered once from Xenopolycytemia
Married twice, has a daughter, Joanna
Charged with murder of Klingon Chancellor
Managed to escape with a fellow officer
Doesn’t make house calls, had a katra in his head
Cures a rainy day and wakes up the dead
He’s a doctor – not an escalator…

See the new Doctor McCoy in this trailer for the Star Trek 2009 movie; I’m Leonard McCoy.

Comments:

  • He has great skill as a surgeon but I find him most illogical and insulting.
  • I was pregnant and he slapped me in the face before examining me.

    An apple a day will keep the doctor away, but will your children be able to afford medical school?
