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.
