- The EMH Mk.I is a holographic expert system designed as a supplement to the normal medical staff of a ship or base. It has been given the personality engrams of its designer, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, an acerbic, short-tempered perfectionist. The EMH, or HoloDoc (as it is sometimes known) has all the knowledge of Starfleet Medical available to it, but its personality makes it an unpopular choice for medical treatment.
Doctor Nightingale is a modification to the basic EMH Mk.I by Ship's Counsellor Greta Gröen, who is concerned by the standard EMH's lack of bedside manner. Counsellor Gröen believes that even an Emergency Hologram's attitude towards a patient can affect the prognosis of a patient, and that while engineers like Dr. Zimmerman are gifted at the technical side of EMH design, they are singularly unsuited for designing the personality engrams for a medical caregiver. Starfleet Medical has given its provisional blessing to her project, but Dr. Zimmerman remains violently opposed to what he refers to as "tinkering."
The name is derived from that of the famous Crimean War nurse.
- Notes
- Dr. Nightengale is based on the EMH statistics created by Steve Long for his Spacedock Netbook.
