| Personal History | A Caitian Doctor of 17 Years experience, Dr. J.R. McEntyre hails from the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex of Old Texas on Earth. He was raised on a cattle ranch, where he developed his interests and aspirations first tending to the sick or wounded animals on the ranch and then to doctoring humans when he grew older. He attended Baylor College of Medicine at 16 years old on a merit based scholarship where he ranked in the top 30 in his class, and scored well in his surgical internship and residency before attending Starfleet Academy's Officer Candidate School and gaining his commission. J.R. has primarily served on Starships on the Frontier, a request he's made for every post. A longing to be on the last frontier, so to speak, according to him. He envisions himself as something of a Country Doctor, his Texan accent does much to help that claim, though finds him in the right mood and he's as soft as a kitten. His first posting was to Starbase 374 as a general surgeon. A fairly uneventful assignment that only lasted several months until he was posted to the U.S.S. Excalibur in April of 2384 as Medical Officer and Surgeon during it’s six month medical relief of Acamar. In 2385 he was stationed to the MASH unit of Starfleet's Exploration Command. Front line of several brush fire wars and skirmishes, aiding wounded soldiers and civilians near to the front line. He found the excitement exhilarating, getting to perform surgery and saving lives. Something he had dreamt of since his boyhood. Another short term assignment as MASH is stood down by the end of 2385 and the staff shuffled to new assignments. He applied for and was granted a surgical and research fellowship aboard space station Deep Space 12 near Baku to study the Briar Patch and it’s Metaphasic properties. A fellowship that lasted for three years, and also allowing J.R to gain command experience as head of his own research section and as assistant chief surgeon at the Starbase Hospital complex. In 2389 after the end of his fellowship term, he was transferred to the U.S.S. Astrea where he took on the role of Assistant Chief Medical Officer. After a Year aboard, he was recalled to Deep Space 12 to take the position of Assistant Administrator and Chief of Surgical Medicine to which he served a long term. Patients came to him, though he did not enjoy the admin side, his surgical skills remained sharp. In 2396 he requested to be assigned to a starship once more and is now awaiting transfer. In his downtime, he enjoys woodworking and painting Western Scenes. He hasn't made time for relationships but would given the right partner, finding more attracted to guys than the gals. His Great Grandfather, Jeremiah was a Surgeon who inspired J.R. to go into medicine |
