Operation Chekov - Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home (9/10) Movie CLIP (1986) HD

[@KeiFox]

It's hilarious, yet also inspiring how McCoy arguing with the surgeon about the proper procedure was one of many medical jargon dialogues that resulted in Star Trek fans becoming doctors in real life. To DeForest Kelley, thank you for being such a great inspiration in helping fans become live-savers, just as James Doohan inspired fans to become engineers.

To think McCoy real motivation was that, before he became a doctor , his terminally ill father begged him" to be let go" so he carried out what his father wishes. However a week after his father death, they found what would have cured his father. Racked with guilty McCoy dedicated he life to save lives no matter what - a true doctor indeed!

@0:36 I love how the 20th century doctor explains things in very formal medical terms at lightning speed while Doctor McCoy can process all the information and still give a down-to-earth answer that anyone can understand and relate too. It shows how advanced a doctor of the 23rd century can be compared to a doctor of the 20th century.

the conspiracy side of me says they haven't really improved the medical world for decades. That's one way to keep the population down. Anyone who argues that, well, I could say I can give pretty good reasons why this is the truth. We're still doing things to treat cancer they did in the 1950's. All the studies, all the money, and we're still treating people with the same dark age mindset. Sad really.

It does seem a bit overdone though. Real doctors well the best the ones who write books often have an appreciation for the ones who came before.
