Beverly Crusher
Dr Beverly Crusher was the chief medical officer on the USS Enterprise-D.
Biography
She was on the holodeck with Data and William Riker when the Doctor's TARDIS landed in a "Dixon Hill" holonovel in 1940s San Francisco in 2368.
When Cybermen corpses were brought back from Cogen V, Beverly was horrified to discover that the Cybermen still had human brains. When the crew joined forces with Borg to defeat the Cybermen, William Riker asked if Beverly could reverse the assimilation of Marcus Bertrand. Though the doctor promised to try, she noted that it was as much up to Bertrand as it was to her, Beverly later comforting Riker when Bertrand had been unable to resist the Borg Collective's will. (COMIC: Assimilation²)
Behind the scenes
Information from invalid sources
The Favourite Doctor Award was awarded to Star Trek's Beverly Crusher in a Doctor Who Magazine Annual Poll, causing the Seventh Doctor to realise that they'd definitely been off-screen for too long. Spock told Jim Kirk that Crusher's performance was "acting", but not as they knew it. (NOTVALID: Doctor Who?)

- Assimilation² depicts Crusher with the likeness of actor Gates McFadden, who originally portrayed her in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
