The Next Doctor!

[All Seeing Eye]

I'd like there to be a species discovered capable of self healing and healing of others on a impressive scale (like Akezo Kensai/Adam, on Heroes), these aliens spend their entire lives training as doctors and curing others using their own natural abilities in conjunction with medical science. I think an interesting storyline twist would be that their species never becomes ill and never has until in one episode where the doctor becomes infected with a disease when trying to help someone, the crew must then quaratine her and try to find a way to cure her.

People,

If there is ever another series, what kind of person should the next doctor be?

Me, I always wanted to see an alien female doctor who was part physician, part witch doctor, a kind of interstellar doctors-without-borders type from an unknown species who wants to "help primitives." Someone who strongly believes in the mind-body-spirit approach.

It might sound a bit like a cross between Phlox and Zhaan from Farscape, but I'd also make this person more a spiritual type than a standard healer.

What say you all?

Damn it Red Ranger. I'm a doctor not a zoo keeper!

I think they should have a Doctor that has some sorta healing type power, but it drains them considerable and they use it along with regular medical tech to brink back redshirts from the brink of dying a horrible death. But make the price of healing so many people come with a horrible price.

Meredith:

That reminds me of the character Gem from TOS ep The Empath. It's certainly an interesting idea.
