===[[Chief Medical Officer]] [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Phlox Phlox]===[[File:Phlox.jpg|thumb|left|"If I'm not mistaken, they are preparing to mate. Do you think they might let me watch?"]]Chief The most recognizable alien on the ship, the [[Denobulan]] doctor was assigned to the ''Enterprise'' thanks to the Interspecies Medical Exchange program. As an experienced physician, he was integral to the ship's voyage into the unknown, often providing insight into other cultures. Over the course of his career, Phlox obtained a dozen scientific degrees, including six in Interspecies Veterinary Medicine, and others in dentistry, hematology, botanical pharmacology, and psychiatry. He also used unorthodox medical practices, due to the relatively primitive medical officertechnology of the early [[2150]]s. Animals were frequently used to assist in his patients' healing, and had a menagerie of "pets" that were kept in [[Sickbay]]. <br clear= Phlox had three wives, each of them with three husbands (including Phlox), resulting in a total of 720 relationships, 42 of which had romantic possibilities. There were 31 children in his extended family, and he had five children of his own: three sons and two daughters, all>who had reached adulthood before he joined the ''Enterprise''. He had no issue with Trip Tucker being romantically involved when one of his three wives visited, and even encouraged it, though Trip was put off by the idea.   As a very curious individual, Phlox quickly made friends, and asked many questions of them (sometimes inappropriate). Perhaps his closest friend on the ''Enterprise'' was linguist Hoshi Sato. The two confided in each other, shared meals together, and discussed alien languages with each other, especially when Phlox began teaching Hoshi the complex language of his people. Another dear friend was Dr. Lucas, a human who took part in the Interspecies Medical Exchange program. While Phlox was the first Denobulan to serve on a Human ship, Dr. Lucas was the first [[Human]] to serve on [[Denobula]].   The Doctor's full name was "Phloxx-tunnai-oortann," but went by a nickname for the ease of the ''Enterprise'' crew.
