Frontier Doctor	comment	A physician who works in an isolated or remote community. While the inhabitants of The Wild West were tougher than case-hardened nails, they still could get hurt and sick. So there was a need for doctors, and the Frontier Doctor came west to fill that need. The frontier doctor needed to be tough and resourceful, since supplies were scarce, and the latest equipment and medicines were seldom at hand. He'd often be called upon to travel long distances at any hour of the day or night, and might even treat sick animals if no veterinarian was handy (the opposite - veterinarian instead of a doctor - is usually Played for Laughs). The frontier doctor may be a woman. With all that said, anyone who'd leave the soft, prosperous life of a doctor in the East had to have a pretty good reason. In fiction, the Frontier Doctor is often flawed. Perhaps he is an alcoholic (so he's taking nips from a flask while sewing you up), or he killed a man back East, or is a Wide-Eyed Idealist who volunteered to come west without thinking it through. Which isn't to say that the characters in a Western aren't grateful that he's there to patch up their bullet holes, sew them up and cure any pox. The stress may turn him into a Dr. Jerk, given time. As the territory becomes more civilized, and towns are established, this character becomes "the town doctor", with better access to equipment and supplies, but not much more rest as he or she's still basically the only physician for miles. Not limited to the Wild West; may also occur in an isolated military outpost, an Eerie Arctic Research Station or a tiny space colony.

His family claims that they only live in Grubstake for his wife's health, but this is later implied to be untrue, suggesting he can't find work in bigger towns. Wing Lee the bakery owner gives herbal remedies to people who are unsatisfied with Dr. Bernaise's treatment. He has a good record of results, and saves Arley's dogs' lives after Lockwood has them poisoned.

Many places in the British Isles used to rely on people who often styled themselves as witches, wizards or mystics for medicines as well as more practical matters like midwifery.

If people'd listen to him more often, he might actually be able to do his job. He's also got a boatload of psychological trauma from his time in the Civil War, so the man's altogether a whole barrel o' laughs.

Frontier Doctor / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Many of the doctors who serve on starships or remote outposts could qualify as frontier doctors given how they work in remote and isolated communities. Dr. McCoy in Star Trek: The Original Series is perhaps Trek's outstanding example of a Frontier Doctor—resourceful in the face of alien ailments, preferring simple homespun methods when possible, but cantankerous, eccentric, and not entirely happy with his lot (he fled to space on the heels of a divorce). Star Trek was pretty much the original Space Western, after all, and actor DeForest Kelley had an extensive background in westerns. In the first episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Bashir comments about his new post saying this, offending Major Kira in the process. (This is her home, and it doesn't seem like a distant frontier to this restless native.) On the other hand, he does go about occasionally making house-calls to neighboring planets, (including Bajor a time or two). Bashir later meets a classmate who took a prestige assignment with a starship, and she complains how boring her own assignment was as opposed to his own (the writers also uses this as a jab against The Next Generation and Voyager's problem of the week episodes compared to the arcs in Deep Space Nine). Keep in mind that Bashir said that he was thrilled to be assigned to DS9 for the excitement of working on the frontier, and that even if he hypothetically had a choice of any posting it's still the one he would have picked. Star Trek: Voyager: The Emergency Medical Hologram (a.k.a. the Doctor) also could be considered a frontier doctor, as he is the only one serving Voyager, a very remote and isolated Federation community in a part of the galaxy where no Federation starship has been, dealing with illnesses and injuries that his creator Doctor Louis Zimmerman never even thought of when programming him.
