    Well yeah, but as the chief medical officer on a spaceship housing thousands of people, not being able to sleep was probably top ten most common issues she had to deal with on a daily basis.

      That and alien venereal diseases but that’s mostly a Riker problem. Honestly that’s probably why she dismissed him so fast. She’s probably thinking this dude’s gonna tell me about another fucking wart if he stays in here one more second and if I give him anything now it might activate whatever space aids bullshit he’s got again and he’ll end up flying the Enterprise in to a supernova during the night shift because this particular virus spreads like a mushroom. Exploding pores all over the galaxy.

      Yeah well, when she finally gets her wish and everyone in the ship disappears, she up and gets all stressed about it. Some people you just can’t please.

    So true. Being dismissed by doctors is so common, transcending cultures, countries, systems, public/private etc. I really hate it.

      Both Commander Chakotay and Neelix thought that warm milk was repulsive.

      As they should.

      Once heated, the milk’s amino acids acted as a mild sedative, helping one sleep.

      Surely the amino acids don’t need to be heated before drinking to work?
