Chief medical officer aboard the Enterprise-D during the year 2365. While aboard the Enterprise-D, Pulaski nearly died of a disease closely resembling old age, after she was exposed to genetically engineered human children at the Darwin Genetic Research Station on planet Gagarin IV. Pulaski recovered from the disease, thanks to a transporter-based technique, despite the fact that she habored a phobia about transporter use. Pulaski cared for Kyle Riker after he was nearly killed in a Tholian attack in 2353. The two fell in love, and Pulaski would later recall that she would have married him "in a cold minute" given the opportunity, but that Riker had "other priorities". Following her involvement with Riker, Pulaski married three times. As of 2365, she noted that she remained good friends with all three men. Counselor Troi commented once that Pulaski's greatest medical skill was her empathy with her patients, evidenced by the use of "PCS" - Pulaski's Chicken Soup - in treating the flu virus. Katherine Pulaski was first seen in "The Child" (TNG). |
