I can imagine a show without a doctor. But in all the shows the doctor plays a big role.

I’m trying to think this back and McKoy was such a brilliant character I can see that starting the entire trend. I’m unsure if there was a trend in TV before that for a medical doctor. Anyone know?

    Specialised crew members capable of providing medical care have been a feature of military vessels for at least two thousand years. — wikipedia

        yeah, I just think it suggests the sort of tv shows you might look for.

        Exactly. Those vessels have cooks too but they’re not on tv
