AUTHOR'S NOTES: In the Voyager episode "Lifesigns," the EMH mentioned that McCoy developed his neural grafting technique in the year 2253. I always considered that date to be a writer's goof. In my opinion, it made far more sense for McCoy to have developed the technique after the TOS episode "Spock's Brain", rather than some fifteen years earlier. Although, I suppose it could help explain why McCoy didn't manage to kill Spock after the Teacher's training wore off. Anyhow, out of such incongruities fanfic is made.
