Star Trek: Dr McCoy's 10 Point Guide To Being The Best Doctor In Starfleet
5: Avoid Transporters!
Being a physician, you know perfectly well the dangers of having your molecules ripped apart and put back together again. There are many things that could go wrong, you might end up in a parallel universe, an evil duplicate might be created or in this case, your transporter beam gets caught in a temporal anomaly and you get transported through the 1970's. In Star Trek The Motion Picture, McCoy is beamed aboard the Enterprise looking like a disco hippy. You can see the confused look on his face and it's very good of Kirk not to make a fuss about the fact that McCoy looks like he just walked off the set of Saturday Night Fever, especially as he already knows how McCoy feels about transporters. McCoy's Lesson: Where possible, avoid Transporters and use a shuttle! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0W852wflMA
