You mean a physician in the "World Health Organization"?

I misunderstood the initial post and was just being obtuse from then on.
Plus, people seem to like proving me wrong
My initial reaction was a Klingon Starfleet captain, which would not fit. Obviously, first reaction was wrong. But, I kept getting great reactions so why not have some fun
You know, I made reference to this World Health Organization as being the agency that The Doctor from VOY is part of when teaching at the Academy.
It could work.Doctor John Smith?
No, that was a different show

The one that helped stop the zombie apocalypse?
Not many people would suppose that.

You're far from the only one, it seems. Many articles seem to be written with that impression.
Wasn't Worf the supposed to be the 1st Klingon to serve on a federation ship?
If this is the same info from August, I think it ought to be ignored. Who knows what has been changed since then, or since Fuller's departure for that matter. For all we know, a lot has been thrown out. With Goldsman's connection to Fringe, and JJ Abrams, it wouldn't surprise me if they changed their minds and decided to go with the Alternate timeline, after all. That would solve the continuity errors\look of the Discovery people are already bitching about, without one episode being shot, yet.
Unless you count comics from the 80's, which had a Klingon named Konom on Kirk's Enterprise. And going back to the 70's, Alan Dean Foster wrote a story around his Animated Series adaptations about Kirk rooming with a Klingon during an exchange program at Starfleet Academy.
There's a name drop. I would love that.
I was completely wrong. I was thinking of the wrong doctor.
I can't recall any reference to that in TNG, kind of like the old one that Spock was the first Vulcan in Starfleet.
There no reason to think Worf was first.
Oh man. Without knowing exactly what they're looking for in the character I love the idea of Eccleston being a part of the cast as the doctor (small d).
Wrong W.H.O. doctor.
At least one book (Worf's First Adventure) asserts that he is the first Klingon at the Academy, but of course that is not canon.
Of the various Doctor Who's ( and I meant Doctor Who) Eccleston is the only one I really had any interest in.
In Heart of Glory, Worf say he is the only Klingon he knows of on a "human Starfleet vessel," he doesn't mention non-Human Starfleet vessels, nor does he say he was the first Klingon in Starfleet..

You might like Peter Capaldi who is a bit of a Dr. House in terms of sensitivity,
Christopher Eccleston did also star in a zombie apocalypse movie, only he wasn't a doctor (WHO or otherwise) and he certainly didn't try to stop it. In 28 Days Later he played a military officer who basically used the collapse of civilization as an excuse to be a douche, much like the villains in The Walking Dead are doing nowadays.
And that is why he is the wrong Doctor.
