Star Trek Medical and Communication Questions?
Posted November 30th, 2009 by admin 1 Comment »
Hello!
I’m working on a Star Trek story that I developed watching the last movie, most of it takes place in the medical bay, however, I’m not entirely sure what everything is called in terms of medical supplies and communication technology.
For instance, in the new movie, when they would do the ship wide communications on that computer monitor looking screen that could be paused, replayed, etcetera, what is that thing called? What can you do on them? Do Enterprise crew members have screens like those in their personal quarters, video phones?
None of the episodes I catch on tv really answer my questions.
Are all beds in the sick bay out in the open? Are there private areas of medical bay?
Are their devices to assist the doctors if they’re working under attack? Most times when you watch the show, people get thrown around quite easily when the ship takes hits, what happens in medical bay? If you’re being operated on, are you just out of luck or is there a gravity that will kick in?
Memory Alpha and Beta have a lot of info but few pictures when it comes to this kind of stuff. Any chance of sites that have scenes with labels on them? Like those guide books that come out with movies now that line up the characters are point out various items of interest? PotC had one that said about the bead on Jack’s forehead was his piece of eight, and the tattoo was a brand of east india, those kind of guide books?
Help please???
