"To be a ship's medic is to be doctor, priest, teacher, and parent to your crewmates. You're the one who's supposed to fix everything, the one they scream for in agony, the only one upon whose shoulder it is permissible to cry. They willingly bare their souls to you. And that sacred trust is how I endure." Karin Chakwas reflects on her time aboard the Normandy.
