A congenial fellow who balances an oblique sense of humor and a happy disposition, along with a natural scientific curiosity that retains a sense of humanity. Dr. Phlox was originally assigned to Earth as part of the Vulcan Interspecies Medical Exchange Program. At Captain Archer's request, Phlox becomes a passenger aboard the new Enterprise. Phlox's background in intergalactic medicine is indispensable, though his approach to the healing arts is sometimes startling.The Doctor has filled Sickbay with all sorts of bizarre medical instruments, alien plants and spores, and stasis chambers with small, living creatures. He practices a brand of "Intergalactic medicine" the likes of which we've never seen. This makes the most routine visit to Sickbay an unexpected adventure.
