Mercy
Point - State-of-the-art 23rd century outer space medical
facility on the science fiction series MERCY POINT/UPN/1998. Set in the year
2249, Mercy Point is a self-contained, emergency hospital with a uniquely
skilled staff and an experimental charter to treat both humans and aliens.
Perched on the remote boundary of an unknown and "unstable" region of
deepspace known as the Sahartic Divide - about a month's journey from Earth
- Mercy Point was designed to treat some 50,000 human and alien patients who
lived within a flotilla of independent space stations known collectively as
Jericho. Mercy Point staff included Dr. Grote Maxwell (Joe Morton), an alien
physiologist and the primary emergency physician at Mercy Point; Dr.Haylen
Breslauer (Maria Del Mar), the facility's senior surgeon; her estranged,
competitive younger sister, Dr. Dru Breslauer (Alexandra Wilson); Dr.
Harris DeMilla (Joe Spano), the station's Chief of Staff; Dr. Caleb "C.J."
Jurado (Brian McNamara), the Director of Extra-Vehicular Medicine; A.N.I.
(Julia Pennington), a beautiful, by-the-book android nurse; Dr. Rema Cook
(Gay Thomas-Wilson), a psycho-surgeon; Dr. Batung (Jordoan Lund), an
insensitive Shenn alien surgeon who barely tolerates humans; and Nurse Molly
Tobitt (Christine Willes), Nurse Davies (Kirstin Robek), Mednaut Cowan
(Leanne Adachi); Mednaut Thurston (Rick Ravenello); and Mednaut Westhusing
(Joe Pascual). Also on duty is a talking, medical interface computer named
Hippocrates (first created in 2200) that helped monitor the patient's
status.
