My favorite episode is the one in which the doctor speak Hippocratic Oath.


AS kid I wanted to be a doctor or at least vet and being in need of medical help:-), but I'm a realist, I have never been in mathematics, besides who would want a doctor with AS :-)

Now I'm 27 years just finish an undergraduate degree in Library Science

Maybe one day I sign up for medical studies :-)

is a joke, I'm far too old.

I do not know why but my favorite movie and tv heroes are doctors.

Doctor Gregory House, Doogie Howser, Dr.. Bashir from Star Trek: DS9, The Doctor of Star Trek Voyager, Dr. Plox from Star Trek: Enterpise, and of course sarcastic Dr. McCoy from the original Star Trek :-)

I've just been watching through my favorite episodes of Voyager, and I think the best one is "Author, Author" (about the Doctor writing a holographic novel that portrays the rest of the crew in a bad light).

That episode capitalizes on the major themes of character development for almost every character on the show, and it's very charmingly written to be both funny and serious in a way that has the crew disagreeing with each other, but in a way that you can see both sides of the argument. The drama arises from the characters themselves, not an alternate-timeline version of them that gets erased at the end (as I think too many episodes did).

I would. And I'd like a shrink too, while you're at it. I'd give just about anything to find a shrink who is smarter than me.
The local ones, in my price range, know nothing at all and don't want to know. They just want to peddle drugs and waste my time.
It's a different psychology. It takes a lot to step outside your own mind and understand someone else's.
Most people can't do it at all. And most people would rather eat their own children than understand a mind so foreign.
You make your own choices, and you probably know what's best for you.
But don't tell the kids that AS, by itself, should limit your career choice.
We need professionals who get it. We need more doctors who understand our world.
If any of you are currently making that kind of choice, and you think you can handle it, Please become a doctor.

And by the way, yes, I loved all the Star Trek series. I just got distracted by that comment.

"The Void". I loved how everyone worked together, and the aliens that learned to speak through music.

Maybe you're right no one understand only aspie can understand aspie :D
But medicine require lot of math, and i hated math, i never understand it at school, i was little better in Physics and Biology, but i loved History and books, so i decided to study library science, Higher education in my country (Poland) is free or at least was free, now only first degree is free, undergraduate and master degree, and doctorate if someone want continue studies, but if someone want to make degree in other scientific discipline you must paid, and medical study are expansive our stupid PM decided so, in the past i even liked him, and i was member of his party youth organization, but not now. Now i considering voting for Mr. Jarslaw Kaczynskki, he is very very he is very very Conservative as come for morality,but liberal in Economy and he has heart in right side. he pledged that he restore total free education.

Your profile doesn't say what country, so I googled Jaroslaw Kaczynski. I guess I'm just nosey.
I can't believe how many countries pay for college or at least had it. The US never has.

I'm from Poland, i intended to put that info in "in parentheses" but i forgot to this :-)

PS. Poland not only paying for college, but also our universities pay student scholarships for good grades, athletic or academic achievements, disability, or social scholarships if the student has no income.

I have a scholarship for disability (for Asperger syndrome) and social

I love all the ones with Seven of Nine as the focus, so, the one where her cortical implant was malfunctioning and she was going to die until Icheb gave her his, then there was "The Raven", the episode in which Seven was drawn to the Borg signal emanating from the crashed ship of her parents which had been abandoned for 18 years. The best one though was probably "Infinite Regress" where Seven's mind became filled with the voices of all the people she assimilated because Voyager was too close to a Borg vinculum; watching Jeri Ryan play all those personalities in such quick succession was awesome, not to mention I loved Seven and Janeway's interactions throughout the episode; it really epitomized how motherly Janeway felt for Seven, and it was really sweet.. My favourite non-Seven episode was the one where the Doctor had a holographic family and his daughter died from a Parisi Squares accident. I hated the fact that they didn't continue the storyline of the Doctor's grief into the next episode, it was as if it had never happened. I love Voyager, more than any of the other Star Trek shows, but their continuity from episode to episode really sucked.

I've never seen a lot of the episodes but the one that stands out most to me is where back at Starfleet HQ, Lt. Barkley manages to initiate communications with Voyager.

I liked Lt. Barkley, maybe because I'm sure that he has Asperger Syndrome :D

Probably Endgame. Scorpion parts 1 & 2 are also good.
