I'm a Doctor, Not a Trivia Quiz!

Doctor McCoy in "The Original Series" was fond of lines which began "I'm a doctor, not a(n)..." - he says them often. Oddly enough, so is the Emergency Medical Hologram from "Voyager" - perhaps some of his personality subroutines are based on McCoy.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: McCoy

From the "TOS" episode "Friday's Child". McCoy uses the line while helping a pregnant woman up a hill.

2. "I'm a doctor, not an engineer!"

Answer: Both

The EMH says it in the "VOY" episode "Flesh and Blood, Part I", when asked to fix a malfuctioning holoprojector. McCoy says it in "Mirror, Mirror" ("TOS").

3. "I'm a doctor, not a bartender!"

Answer: The EMH

"Twisted" ("VOY").

4. "I'm a Doctor, not a historian!"

Answer: Neither

Trick question - this line was spoken by Doctor Bashir in the "Deep Space Nine" episode "Trials and Tribble-ations".

5. "I'm a doctor, not a psychiatrist!"

Answer: McCoy

From "City on the Edge of Forever" ("TOS") - although that's a pretty subtle difference, if you ask me. I previously had "I'm a doctor, not a magician" here, but I've been told by robmeister that the line was actually "I'm not a magician, Spock, just an old country doctor."

6. "I'm a doctor, not a doorstop!"

Answer: The EMH

This line comes from the movie "Star Trek: First Contact". Technically, it's not "Voyager"'s EMH - it's the Enterprise-E's... but he's still played by the same actor. The EMH objected to being asked to delay the Borg who were about to break down the sickbay door.

7. "I'm a doctor, not a battery!"

Answer: The EMH

That one should have been easy (I mean, can YOU imagine McCoy being used as a battery?). It's from "Gravity" ("VOY"), when Tom Paris and Tuvok use the EMH's mobile emitter to power a communications device.

8. "I'm a doctor, not a commando!"

Answer: Neither

Spoken by the EMH mark II from the USS Prometheus in "Message in a Bottle" ("VOY") when he was drafted to help re-take said ship from the Romulans. Voyager's EMH came pretty close with "I'm a doctor, not a counterinsurgent!" in "Basics, Part II" ("VOY").

9. "I'm a doctor, not a dragonslayer!"

Answer: The EMH

"Bliss" ("VOY") - the EMH said this line when forced to play Beowulf in a holoprogram to rescue two crew members from a photonic life form.

10. Finish off with an easy one: "I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!"

Answer: McCoy

This comes from "Devil in the Dark" ("TOS") when McCoy performs surgery on a Horta using concrete to seal the wound. I hope you enjoyed this quiz, and if I've made any mistakes (or missed one that you really want to see), don't hesitate to message me. =)
