That doesn't mean it's less damaging than using future-tech to do it nicely.

Stamets@startrek.website 1 year agoHuh? Doctors do this today with no genetic engineering required. Also Dr Crusher was pretty capable considering the shit she beat out of people in the past.

I never said that it was. I think you misunderstood something somewhere.
The original top level comment said that Bashir pushing his shoulder back into place was able to be done properly with precision and strength granted by engineering and that Crusher wouldn’t have had the strength or precision to do it correctly. All I said was that the genetic engineering argument makes no sense as doctors today use the same technique and they’ve never been genetically engineered. Also that Crusher was more than strong enough to do so when she’s beat the shit out of people.
I’m not commenting on the technology or its use/lack of use in any way.

Today, if you dislocate your shoulder once, it’s much more likely to pop out again. I figure crusher treated it like he hadn’t done it a hundred times already and Julian had probably already popped it back in for him dozens of times. Seems pretty in character for him to assume if miles didn’t care enough to be gentler on his shoulder he shouldn’t either.

Her name is literally “Crusher”
