I wouldn’t like going to a Star Trek doctor! They’re too quick in saying, “He’s dead Jim!” without giving a thorough examination of the unconscious body!
I saw Leonard Nimoy at my alma mater in the ’80’s. When he came up to the mic, he said, “I can’t imagine what you want me to talk about”. When he did the Vulcan “live long and prosper” salute at the end of his talk, the whole room lit up with flashbulbs. He was a great speaker.
It was Walter Matthew Jefferies the Art Director of Star Trek, who would worked closely with Roddenberry to define the look of the classic show. Roddenberry and Jefferies both flew B-17’s in World War II. Matthew Jefferies’ brother, Philip Jefferies was one of two brothers that was already working as a Hollywood Art Director at time when the two former pilots met. Below is a brief account of how young Philip got his start with the help of Foxo Reardon, whose classic comic strip "Bozo is today on GoComic.
Hollywood Art Director Philip Jefferies was nominated for an Academy Award as Art Director of the 1973 motion picture “Tom Sawyer” which starred Johnny Whitaker, Celeste Holm, Warren Oates, Jeff East and Jodie Foster. From 1962 to 1986, Jefferies was Art Director of some thirty Hollywood motion pictures and nine TV production, until his passing at age 61 in 1986. A list of his 30 films can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_M._Jefferies – from “The Manchurian Candidate” in 1962 to “The Mean Season” in 1985.
Backtracking to a warm night in April 1938, Philip Jefferies, age 12, wandered into the offices of the Richmond (Virginia) Times-Dispatch, one of the South’s leading newspapers. He had in hand his creation of a comic strip he named “Nicky.” Ignored in the hustle bustle of the night with looming deadlines, a voice then rang out, according to a full page article in the paper of May 1, : “Hey, just look at this wouldya?” Foxo was saying to anyone who would listen. “This boy is a wonder…why don’t you give him a story. Look at this drawing. It’s a knockout.”
Young Philip was then interviewed and his story published, with a photo of him and Foxo together, as a full page story in the magazine section the next Sunday, May 1, 1938. After that interview by the reporter, Philip had added:
“The main thing I wanted to say, though, is how much Foxo has helped me. He told me what kind of ink to buy and what kind of pen to get and I see all the difference in t
I think it was the 100th episode of Friends when Phoebe gave birth to her brothers triplets, Her doctor came in who thought that The Fonz on Happy Days was a GOD!

Sounds like Starfleet doesn’t pay much, so he needs a side gig.

Fun fact: according to Star Trek: the Next Generation Technical Manual, one of the gauges on the beds in sick bay is labeled “Insurance Remaining”.
