He travels with Scotty, so of course he keeps those things on hand.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

He probably carries Liver-growing pills as well
OMG. I thought the saying, "He has more X than Carter has pills.", was something about Jimmy Carter. I'm 53 and have thought that my whole life.
To be fair, that man is 100 years old. His medicine cabinet must be briming with pills.
You need to listen to more Old Time Radio.
My grandmother used to take those!
Someday I'm going be lying in a hospital bed waiting for my visit from a time traveler who's unconcerned about temporal hygiene.
He probably had a little bit of time travel psychosis left over from his jaunt through the Guardian of Forever.
There has to be some head canon out there, but I think this is one of two things. Either a cure-whatever-is-the-problem pill, like with nanobots that can do whatever is needed in the body (so she had more than the kidneys fixed, that was just what was on her chart). Or in his equipment he has a medical replicator that will generate from base materials any type of specific drug needed for the diagnosed problem.
Or it's a placebo and Bones was very convincing.
Tbf, they are probably the magic-bean "fix-all" pills, not only for kidneys:-).
"wait so you work all your life for a currency just to lose it all the moment anything goes wrong?"
these were standard issue before synthehol was regularly available on starships. can't have too many people asking about the abnormal kidney failure rate in starfleet or they'll start poking around and find our Saurian brandy stash
ST got the future of healthcare right: when the toolset is so advanced you can wave a thingy over a body part and perform diagnoses and repair on the spot, the profession becomes 99 per cent bedside manner.
gotta get a doctor in stat! this guy's liver got sliced clean in half!
