He felt that his perfection and comparative medical genius were not appreciated. He, in turn, was curt and rude to them, lacking empathy and bedside manner, and he was unhappy that he was being used to perform menial medical tasks. Most of the crew considered him merely a computer program or a tool, and treated him accordingly. He had no control over his activation subroutines, so anyone could activate or deactivate his program solely at their choice. The Doctor's first few weeks as a full-time medic on Voyager were not easy for him. " Whatever it is, you're going to have to take care of it yourself." The Doctor quickly established that the Voyager crew would be stuck with him for a while and that he would be the sole provider of medical care aboard the ship. On stardate 48308.2, The Doctor was activated by Ensign Harry Kim to help treat crew members injured in the ship's violent transit to the Delta Quadrant, during which the chief medical officer and other assigned medical staff had been killed. Janeway shortly before Voyager's launch on stardate 48038.5 in early 2371. The Doctor was first, albeit very briefly, activated during a ship tour with Vice Admiral Patterson by Cpt. Zimmerman attributed to the Mark I program. ( VOY: " Life Line") This "sarcasm subroutine" could have been a part of the "deficiencies" which Dr. Zimmerman claimed not to have programmed the EMH Mark I with sarcasm, but early episodes of Voyager indicate otherwise. ( VOY: " Threshold", " Projections", " Body and Soul", " Phage", " Message in a Bottle")ĭr. Neither was he programmed with reproductive organs, as he had no need for them. ( VOY: " Projections", " The Swarm", " Caretaker", " Parallax", " Cathexis")Īccording to The Doctor, his original program was not configured to cry, bleed, feel pain or hunger, or to sing or dance. His program even became capable of learning and adapting, in order to create new medical treatments. However, it was capable of treating any known injury or disease, as it was programmed with the medical knowledge of every member world in the Federation and that of over five million surgical procedures. Only meant to run for a maximum of 1,500 hours, the program included little personality and interpersonal skills. It was developed by a team of engineers to be an emergency supplement to the medical team on starships. The EMH Mark I, upon which The Doctor's program was based, was listed as " Emergency Medical Holographic Program AK-1 Diagnostic and Surgical Subroutine Omega 323" in Voyager's memory. Lieutenant Reginald Barclay also worked on the project, testing the EMH's interpersonal skills. Lewis Zimmerman, who based the hologram's physical appearance on his own. The EMH Mark I was created on Jupiter Station by Dr. The Doctor displaying his sarcastic personality to a Qomar ( VOY: " Caretaker", " Eye of the Needle", " Lifesigns", " Flesh and Blood", " Author, Author") He developed into a brilliant yet compassionate individual who proved his worth and loyalty to all crew members throughout the years, earning their respect of him as an individual with the same civil and social rights as everyone else on board.
Over the years The Doctor expanded his program a great deal he acquired many interests and hobbies, developed close personal friendships with many crew members, and even fell in love. The EMH Mark I, of which The Doctor's life began as an iteration, was a computer program with a holographic interface in the form of a Human male Doctor.Īlthough his program was originally designed to function in emergency situations only, Voyager's sudden relocation to the Delta Quadrant, combined with the lack of an organic physician, necessitated that The Doctor's program be run on a full-time basis, effectively becoming Voyager's chief medical officer. " The Doctor" (also known as just "Doctor" or "Doc") was USS Voyager's Emergency Medical Holographic program (or " EMH") and chief medical officer during the ship's seven-year journey through the Delta Quadrant. – The Doctor, 2375 (" Someone to Watch Over Me")
