Huh?
I'm sure a holographic mirror uses a miniscule amount of energy compared to the warp drive, shields, phasers, etc. Shoot, they might run of a separate power source altogether. Either way, it's nothing to worry about.
Ah, ok, I just assumed he was the CMO because of his rank.

Honestly? Works for me. I'm still incensed about Beyond not winning an Oscar for best makeup. That work was nothing short of inspired.
He is the CMO.
I agree. The makeup for Idris Elba was a little disappointingly generic but everything else in that movie was top drawer. The effort put into background aliens was astounding.
Boarding a Klingon ship and trying to abduct a member of a fight-to-the-death race was dangerous. Who could have foreseen that?
Not according to this
Oh, and, cosplay challenge!
^ He's referred to in all official information and on Memory Alpha as "the Discovery's medical officer", not as "one of the Discovery's medical officers", and he's clearly presented in Episode 4 as being the seniormost of the few doctors we see because if he weren't, Lorca would've been talking to somebody else.
As far as the Klingon High Council is concerned Voq is unworthy; so they could care less what happens to his one ship, or the Klingons now willing to follow him. Kol only came back because he wanted the cloaking technology. If Voq survives and is able to rejoin the fleet on his own, maybe they'll reconsider; but he did nothing to 'prove himself' to them like T'Kuvma had in drawing in the Federation Fleet and setting up the ambush T'Kuvma himself carried out.
We even find out that the Council ISN'T fighting FOR the honor of T'Kuvma; because Kol believes that as soon as the war ends and they are victorious; the Council will splinter again. In general Klingon society Voq is and will always be (unless he himself does something truly worthy), an unworthy outcast.

That's why the Klingon High Council left his ship and crew in the situation they were.

Exactly so. People make mistakes, well except in previous Trek series where they were generally perfect. I find this approach so much more refreshing! Gasp! She killed the Klingon who killed her beloved Captain! Yeah, she considered it a mistake afterwards but at the time it was a human response.
Just like in Obsession where both Kirk and the ensign hesitated (different points in time) because that was the human response in that case.
I don't think we can conclude much from his appearance in Knife. He was fixing a broken nose by shining a light on it, I don't think the Captain would have necessarily needed the chief medical officer to oversee that one. The actor is pretty explicit that he isn't the CMO, but he looks to be wearing commander's insignia (everybody squint!) which would suggest otherwise.
Lorca tells him to finish fixing Stamets up and then gives him a separate direct order pertaining to something else involving the ship.
If he weren't the CMO, Lorca would've given that order to somebody else.
If he weren't the CMO, Lorca would've given that order to somebody else.
No one suggests otherwise.
Unless he's brain dead, Kol would care immediately about the cloak.
This is called "idiot plotting." You're going to see a lot of it, because the likelihood that the creators know or have given any thought to how a war and combat like this would happen is - on the evidence so far - nil.
I thought it was eating the spores on her. What I would, noncomittantly, call the tardigrade is a rather evolved animal with a brain bigger than a dolphin's. The name reminds me of Tardis. Is Dr Who's Tardis sentient, for all of its spontaneous navigation? Anyway, it doesn't need to be sentient to have the right not to suffer.

The Tardigrade is macro-bacteria that eats spores.
