I prefer when they wave a light over me.
If the magic light isn't available then I opt for one of Phlox's frankencreature treatments.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

You get a bat-leach! and you get a bat-leach! And you give me your Batleth and I'll give you a bat-leach! Bat-Leaches for everyone!
This is why everyone disliked Phlox's medical prowess. It worked but at what cost?
Crushed hand in equipment? Inaprovaline.
Gastric discomfort? Inaprovaline.
Clinically dead? Believe it or not, Inaprovaline.
We have the best patients, thanks to Inaprovaline
I mean that is kind of like saying doctors go to is medicine since the hypospray is just the syringe.
Yes, but usually* doctors will at least say what kind of shot they’re giving (and if you’re lucky, tell you why).
~* I guess there’s a non-zero possibility of it not always being the case.~
In the good old days, the doctor would make you lay on a weird electric bed and a creepy "thrum-thrum" noise would keep track of your heartbeat.
Having come off a rewatch, they leaned hard on that biobed.
Just use the tele-porter, it fixes everything… except when it doesn’t.
