Surely only the E had an EMH, never the D.
Arbitrary interpretation is arbitrary.
What if the holographic doctor was on TNG instead?

Crusher was such a super spectacular physician that [STRIKE]her character was written off the show[/STRIKE] she spent a year as head of SF medical, she must have been in the know about new medical technologies.
STAR TREK: The Next Generation should've had an EMH, if for no other reason than to further seperate and distance itself from TOS. Beverly Crusher, though, is my favourite of The Five Doctors in this franchise and I would not want TNG without her. Kate Pulaski might've actually worked in the show, had she been an EMH, instead of a crotchety, old spinster. But the EMH was VOYAGER's gimmick and I think it works perfectly with this show's format.
As for Gomez, she did seem kind of loopy and I always got the impression that Geordi was trying to take advantage of that, so he could get with her. Acting like he was taking her under his wing, as hot as she was. He even took her to 10 Forward, in hopes of getting her polluted, as I recall ...

Polluted? Gee whiz, Mr. Takes. You mean, like with radiation and stuff? Why would he want to do that for? As I remember 10 Forward, there were just Man Crewman and Women Crewmen sitting and having colored beverages and...
Ohhhhhhhhhh...hee hee...

Some guys are like that and it looks like Geordi is one of them! Me, though, I get turned off by it. I mean, sometimes women can look sexy drunk, but most of the time, it's watching her trying to keep her balance sitting down, with this vacant look in her eyes. I'm not about that. I Play the Game, front, tell them what they want to hear to get in their pants, but like Meatloaf says on The Oldies Station: "I would do anything for 'love,' but I won't ... do ... THAT!!!"
Selfimposed beergoggles.
Sometimes people need a requisite amount of hooch to slap and tickle other persons.
If you're trawling after one night with a person you wouldn't normally touch without 7 beers inside you, that's permissible, but if you marry a person you can't look at naked without two fingers of gin keeping your wits wet, that's a little more tragic, but not as tragic as being alone or living on the street.

Doing without is tragic - and that's for certain! Truly a sad and useless thing ...
As was Captain Braxton, when he carelessly misplaced the Aeon (though this faux pas did not seem to affect his securing the command of the Relativity) and found himself living on The Streets. Searching, always in vain, between parked cars, or in an alley way for an area so he could empty his bowels. I did marvel, though, how, when he was inches from Janeway's face, that she didn't gag at his Homeless Breath. Still, his sacrifice enabled the EMH to live like a normal Human being, at least. Proving, again, that "A" leads to "B" leads to "C" leads to ... "A."
So ... with that, how about it, HIjol? Share your thoughts on "Beer Goggles" ...

You know how baldness is fine in he future?
Maybe so is bad breath?
Or bad breath could even be universal.
They don't brush their teeth after all.
In Enterprise, we find that they coat/seal their teeth with a trifluorinate compound that stops cavities and (probably) keeps their teeth white.
There is no health and safety reason any more to flavour their breath incidentally after each meal, so now, they all only smell like what they eat, hello Neelix, and if they all eat the same stuff then they all smell alike, and it's fine unless they are self-loathing.
The only person google tells me that mentioned Bad breath in Star Trek is Q when he starting pondering the horror of having become human in TNG Deja Q.
The sonic shower probably knocks stuck food loose, although a sonic device to the face twice a day would leave most human being nothing but gums after 30 years? Which might also be why they need that triflurinate compound?
Apparently Hoshi was seen brushing her teeth in ENT Catwalk with a device that looked like cross between a tooth brush and a torch. A ray of light was cleaning her teeth. So yeah, it's hard to think that a really low powered raygun would also be a product that flavours breath since you normally can't smell light, but there is no rotting food in there, so the smell is just not-mint, and really the minty smell with most tooth paste today lasts what, an hour at most or until you eat something?
If they don't care about smell in all realms, then they probably don't use deodourant.
Sonic shower = No soap.
I read somewhere about perfume/aftershave on submarines in the olden days. Anyone who does not smell uniform the same as every one else in such close quarters is usually killed while s/he is sleeping.
Oh.
I forgot.
Vulcans think all Humans smell disgusting.
(T'Pol used a "nasal numbing agent" to withstand the extreme stench on Enterprise.)
Humans disagree.

Must be all that Frumunda Cheese and Yeast Infections that put the Vulcans off. But no matter! T'Pol did get over her disdain for the scent of Humans, eventually. Unfortunately, however, it did take Trip's death to get her over that hurdle. Some Vulcans have to learn The Hard Way, I suppose. I've oft wondered about the Sonic Shower and how it works. I've surmised that sound waves must blast off microbes and specks of dust and dirt, perhaps from all directions - or the direction might even be controlled, somehow, to target those Hard to Reach areas. I would prefer Metal Music to source the Sound Waves, however - really give those germs something to think about, as they're pummelled with a G-sus or even a simple A chord! You know? Really get down in there with those Sound Waves and walk out of the "shower" feeling not only fresh ... but VIGOROUS!!!
Now, what's with this "Trifluorinate Compound" business? I don't know why STAR TREK explores and investigates only the aspects of Space Hygene that nobody asked about. Let's see someone on the can, alright? That's what TREKKIES, TREKKERS and TREK Fans, alike want to see and hear. For example, Tom could've called out to B'Elana "... I'm out of toilet paper, in here!" Wait ... hang on ... let me guess: There's a sonic ass wiper, too? Right? Like, when Club Goers feel that BASS pounding up their Rumba Seats ... buh-BOOM-boom! buh-BOOM-boom! Probably something along those lines, I'd guess.
And, finally, maybe baldness really is OK in The Future, but you know ... what if how someone fulfills themselves is in expressing their inate ability to weave a toupée? That Jim Kirk used a rug now fits more comfortably, perhaps, with this "Vision of The Future," than maybe it might have, before. And why did his rug have to evolve into this black poodle hide, Davy Crockett cap ... thingy ... when it looked almost natural, before? Chekov ... same thing. Why does he wear on his head a dead cat? And Phlox using Beasts of Burden to try and cure a Rainy Day, on the NX-O1. I just don't understand these shows, sometimes ...

The sonic asswiper is probably built into the seat.
(If there is a seat.)
Does it liquidify poop?
If so, which side of the sphincter is this effect taking place?
Solid stool is for dummies.

Aliens find it quite amusing that the first structure to develop in the human embryo is the anus.
There really is no technical reason for them not to poop straight into the replicators food slot...
They can poop & pee whenever and wherever they feel like it and the computer could automatically transport it away. That's what Miles Obrien does all day in the transporter room. That's why they have a yellow alert, it prepares the computer to expect more than usual poop.
See? Look at this Catarina ...
we can't even agree on how to take a dump in the 24th Century! Like, uh, the Sonic Ass Wiper is bound to stimulate the Vegas Nerve and I can see all kinds of addictions and abuses with this thing, right out of the gate. But wait ... there's more: Sound Waves will not destroy and/or disintegrate, but they could sort of "grind" external fecal matter into a fine powder. Sure, your ass is clean, but your thighs have all of this powder on them! A low tech solution might come in handy, something as simple as a fan, maybe, could blow the fecal dust towards a waiting replicator food slot, before it ever makes contact with your skin.
And then again ...
there's the ship's Self Cleaning System trying to work as a toilet? Maybe you'd have to grip the bar that the towels are hanging on as you stand up to do your business. Then there would be a sort of Force Shield Event Horizon, right behind you on the floor, where defecated fecal matter would sort of dissintegrate as it followed its trajectory. And there would be these outlines of shoes on the floor, so you would know where to put your feet in. But there's no ass wiper system. Maybe people would just use Toilet Paper and sort of let it drop over the Event Horizon. See, even this poses problems ... STAR TREK needs to show someone using The Can, that's all there is to it.

How are the Supermen so much stronger and faster than ordinary humans beings?
1.Human waste is burnt as a secondary fuel source in a new organ where the bladder and bowls used to be, and converted into biophysical energy.
2. Efficiency is raised to such a point that there is no "noticeable" human waste products any more. Everything is used. There is no poo.
(That doesn't track with respect to "We make boots form poop" though.)
But "most" human beings are not augmented, you say?
"Fallout from the Eugenics War".
Augments have been been interbreeding with ordinary humans since the 1990s and been slowly nudging up the baseline of what it means to be human. Factually the more great great great grand parents that anyone in he 24th century had who happened to be augmented, the less marginally human they have the potential to be.
What's the life expectancy of an augment? 200, 300 years? There might still be full blooded Supermen shtupping their way across the Federation leaving litters of human being pluses behind them that are twice as strong as anyone else and three times as smart.

Of course there is a sonic ass wiper, the civilized world already uses bidets which very effectively clean your ass and then dry your ass. Very effectively. Wiping paper over and over is essentially wiping poo into your skin. It's not clean, it's just removing the solid matter.
Transporters rinse out shit.
In a highly mechanized city where matter transportation is cheaper & faster than ground-cars for even incredibly short distances, of maybe less than a hundred feet, or even instead of a stairwell to the second-floor of a domicile...
City dwelling human beings do not wipe/clean their asses manually and do not need to wipe their asses personally.
"bottom-cleaning" is part of space training and survival training for humans that want to live in space or someplace "rural".
