  Imagine your dialysis patient suddenly has a repaired kidney and you ask her how and she said a strange doctor muttering about the dark ages gave her a mystery pill

  I need a show where Dr McCoy goes to different timelines each episode and trash talk their time's medical tech

  As somebody else put it, it's funny watching McCoy trying to keep his shit together while seeing the reality of 20th-century medicine.

  I just love how Bones stops in the middle of the search to cure a woman's failing kidney

  <b>Kirk:</b> What did you say she had?<br><b>Bones:</b> Cramps.<br>I don&apos;t know why but that always cracks me up.

  This scene holds a special place in my heart. &nbsp;My dad was diagnosed with kidney dialysis days before he died (a side effect from a double-lung transplant he had). &nbsp;I talked to him over the phone while he was still awake before surgery. &nbsp;I quoted the bit about the old lady who grew a new kidney, and I heard everyone gasp because he smiled even though he was in a lot of pain. &nbsp;That was the last time my dad smiled before he died. &nbsp;I will always cherish this movie for giving my dad one last moment of joy before he left this world.<br>RIP Dad

  This is McCoy&apos;s shining moment. &nbsp;Even as they plow through the last door to the elevator, if you watch, he stops and helps the woman the door hits before returning to Kirk and Gillian. &nbsp;Outstanding, and the music is so appropriate.

  McCoy reminds me so much of my father. Dad has been a physician&apos;s assistant for about 40 years, served two tours in Vietnam before that as a medic aboard air evacuation and rescue. He has the exact same personality and bedside manner as McCoy. He&apos;s gruff, to the point, has a love / hate relationship with medicine, and there&apos;s nothing he hasn&apos;t seen and nothing surprises him.

  I&apos;m a doctor and I grew up with Star Trek. The &apos;new kidney&apos; scene was a key moment of my career and one of the defining moments that made me want to become one. I know it&apos;s like a five second sequence thrown in for comedic relief mostly but I watched this scene as a kid multiple times and I always thought &apos;Hell, that&apos;s the future and it&apos;s entirely doable and I&apos;ll be damned if we won&apos;t have that within our lifetimes.&apos;.<br><br>Seriously. We&apos;re not that far off, and we haven&apos;t even achieved Warp Speed yet.
