I am sorry but other than the stories where they appear into as written I don't see what you can possibly base your judgement of a character on.

As opposed to how the character works overall, aside from the occasional stray episode that didn't serve them well.
It's like, if Green Lantern does something egregious in one issue by one writer out of hundreds of stories published over the course of decades, does that mean the character is sullied forever . . .or do you just go "Boy, that issue really went off the rails. What was the writer thinking?"
Doesn't mean you stop reading GREEN LANTERN or hold the character's actions in that one issue over the character's head forever. Ditto for Doctor Phlox.
To quote Gwen in GALAXY QUEST: "That episode was very badly written!"
McCoy, Leonard H! ...followed by The Doctor, EMH.

There's not much about Phlox that I like, in general. This episode happens to be more egregious than the usual, is all. The usage of leeches for example has been discredited a long time ago and for good reason. The idea that some alien leeches would have magic powers that are nowhere to be found in our own ecosystem is ridiculous. That is at least what I think. Science, yes, magic alien snake oil, NO.
I wouldn't mind having Dr. Bev give me a physical examination.
You know it looks like she can do pretty much everything with just a tricorder.
Dr. McCoy, probably because I grew up with him.
Good news no one have voted for Pulaski
She was a bitch, wasn't she?

Mostly, she was a Bones-knock-off, and that's why I didn't like her. Well, that and she took Beverly's place. I HATED that!
But yeah, you could say she was a bitch. Or at least a bitcher.

First thing when she came on board she didn't report to Picard for no reason. Then she mispronounced Data's name. She nearly endangered the whole ship by neglecting the threat of the rapidly aging disease... to name a few.
Of course she was she always wanted Captain to do what she was saying and for her she was always right. I always hoped that Picard would relieve her from dutyGood news no one have voted for Pulaski

Next poll has to be Favourite Star Trek Surgery.
"Surgery"? You mean sickbay?
1. Julian Bashir
2. Beverly Crusher
3. Leonard McCoy
4. Phlox
5. Katherine Pulaski
6. EMH

That's all he is. When going into sickbay with a life-threatening condition, I want to be met by a genius in scrubs, not a photonic ham.
