94.) Chain*
On more than one occasion, the crew had heard their CMO threaten to chain their Captain to his bed if he tried to escape before the doctor cleared him to leave. What the crew didn't know was that it was a very real threat, not a bluff between friends.
The crew also didn't know, and would never know, that Jim had been the one to select the very chains that he was threatened with. A fact that had him nearly regretting the fact that he was best friends with his doctor.
Aside from the fact that Bones was his best friend, Jim wouldn't trust anyone else to be his doctor. A trust that Leonard McCoy carefully protected, even when he threatened to chain his idiot of a best friend to his bed in order for him to heal. It was a privilege he had because they were best friends.
