In the case of Chapel in SNW doesn't she come from a scientific research background? The nursing business is her secondary position. Also she's a civilian contractor of sorts at this point. Military protocol likely not her strong suit.

Chapel is not a civilian. She's a member of Starfleet just like the rest of them.
 
by the end of the episode he was even stoned.

Yeah. Snarky. Flippant. Unprofessional. Neurotic. Just the thought of a nurse saying what she did about sepsis is just odd. And it's not relieving tension. It's not gallows' humour. It's just deeply inappropriate and jumps out.
I don't even recall her line. that's how much it "jumped out" to me. :lol:
 
Well, I gave it a 9.5 if we're still talking about ratings.

A great space battle episode and a great disaster episode rolled into one, with lots of good character development, a setting that really sells the cat-and-mouse submarine analogy, and plenty of opportunities to see the core cast at their best. I loved the mind-meld sequence with Spock and La'an (and the nice little bonus Michael Burnham cameo that comes with it), and it was a good call to leave the Gorn off-screen save for their ships. The Gorn semaphore thing was a bit odd and I was a little confused by the optical-illusion premise of the Pike Maneuver (and it was a wee bit dramatically convenient for the brown dwarf to be in the process of consumption by a black hole right at the time of this encounter), but these are relatively minor gripes given how well everything else works.
 
I worked 40+ years with RN's in a hospital.
Snark and kidding around with each other during our shifts, was usually the best way to handle what we see and have to do on a daily basis.
Better to relieve the strain and go off on each other joking around, than lose it with a patient.
Plus the chit and nonsense we have to deal with day-in/day-out, would make most folks quit.

Takes a certain type to deal with nursing care as a lifelong profession.
