I am the nature of the medical emergency.

He's a wholesome practitioner .... he causes and cures the pain
A holistic healer ... he creates the hole and then heals it
Look at the positive...
He and his nurse are able to keep their heads level during the worst possible events because they have actually seen worse.
One of my old friends was a doctor for 40 years and his wife was a nurse for about the same time ... they often reminded us that if you walk into an emergency room to get help with something, even if you are bleeding, broken bones, you aren't that bad and you're automatically triaged to a lesser level because you actually walked in and could stand on two feet. If you walk in with a headache and a cough and you've felt shitty for four days, you still aren't that bad, because in their eyes, you still have a long way to go before you get worse.
As soon as they wheel in your lifeless unconscious body and you have no pulse, that is when they class it as an emergency.
It doesn't mean that they'll ignore you outright .... this is the reason why we sometimes end up waiting for hours in the waiting room. If you go in with whatever complaint you got and it's a slow day and no one is being wheeled in dead, doctors and nurses are freely available to look at you and treat you and take their time ... but sometimes, multiple events happen, two three or more people are wheeled in gurneys and they're in real terrible emergencies and people with coughs or headaches will be made to wait for hours while more severe cases are dealt with.
Generally true, but one time my wife was able to walk in but the symptoms described resulted in a wheelchair ride to a bed with 10 staff doing emergency work that saved her life.
Always be clear and complete with the descriptions!

Team Fortress Classic medic was an actual beast with shotty and nades.
Tptally thought Joseph was a my-way-or-the-highway kinda guy based on memes here. I didn't expect him to be so sweet :3
One of my favourite characters on SNW for a reason. :)
Yup. He certainly is one of the most interesting Characters and I am happy how they expanded on his backstory over the episodes. There are also loads of conflicts and grey areas, which I enjoy.

I however would not have accepted him back into the team so readily after he killed the Klingon Ambassador and spared out a few details. The ambassador was way out of line asking M'Benga to come along to his roadshow as an ornament - look how well we get along - despite only knowing the guy for a couple hours and not acknowledging the great rift between these two first.
But to sweep it under the rug. Phew. I don't know if I would have done that.
I agree, and I’d go so far as to say they’ve made Pike too soft a touch in a lot of ways at this point. When this version was first introduced in Discovery, I loved his open, cooperative approach to things. But that’s slowly morphed into a lack of conviction or decisiveness.
He feels almost a little corrupt. Not sure if that's the right word, but it makes him look as if he tries his hardest to just look after himself and his loved ones, even at the expense of others. Which I'd be down for, should they expand on it in future episodes, but I doubt wtiters will, since we all already know where Pike is headed. And we do know that he does it to safe others which would be a major conflict in his character, should they explore the theme of 'corruption'

You don't need to heal if the enemy team got sent to spawn with same day shipping
