Doctor Pulaski's Medical Texts
A compact collection of clinical reference materials accessed from Sickbay—printed manuals and/or shipboard digital texts—focused on alien physiology and diagnostic criteria. Textual diagrams, diagnostic tables, and protocol checklists populate the pages or screens. Pulaski consults these texts directly to confirm vitals and identify rop'ngor, using them as a clinical touchstone while Worf reacts to the diagnosis.

Purpose
To provide authoritative clinical reference for diagnosis, differential assessment, and treatment protocols relevant to Klingon physiology and other non‑human conditions.
Significance
The texts supply the medical confirmation Pulaski needs to name Worf's condition, converting a private symptom into documented clinical fact. They function as the factual backbone for her insistence on filing a report, raising professional stakes and personal humiliation for Worf and driving the emotional conflict in Sickbay.
