One of Shran's ladies gets hit in Season 4, and dies a while later despite Phlox' best efforts. Sort of Trek's version of gangrene, I suppose. And in the episode where Data gets kidnapped by Saul Rubinek, there is a particularly 'vicious' disruptor that has a prolonged effect that slowly eats the person hit from the inside out.<br /><br />I can buy it that any given energy weapon strike needs to be checked by a doctor, and may be quite serious no matter where it hit you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
