General Informations - Holograms Mark 1 The Emergency Medical Hologram was developed by - and styled after - Doctor Lewis Zimmerman in order to provide limited medical coverage for situations in which a real Doctor was not available.1 The EMH was capable of performing an incredibly wide range of medical procedures - over five million possible medical treatments in all2 taken from over 2,000 medical references spanning 3,000 cultures, and the experiences of 47 physicians.3 These were governed by adaptive programmes which offered a wide range of contingency options and even allowed the EMH to create new medical procedures if needed.The limitations of the system were largely hardware related. The primary limitation was the EMH's inability to operate outside of a holographic projection system. In the Intrepid class this limited the Doctor to the sickbay and holodecks4, while the later Prometheus class allowed the EMH to operate throughout the ship. However, even with this advance the EMH was unable to operate outside the ship itself.
