The infirmary on Deep Space 9.
The infirmary on Deep Space 9.
An infirmary is a medical facility aboard a starbase, quite equal to that of a starship's Sickbay.
The Infirmary is the primary medical facility aboard Deep Space 9. Located on the station's Promenade, in the central core, the Infirmary is run by the station's CMO, Julian Bashir, with a support staff of Starfleet and Bajoran medics.
During the Cardassian Withdrawal in 2369, the Infirmary was heavily damaged and looted of most supplies. (DS9: "Emissary") Due to its relatively low security, it has on occasion been the target of thieves and looters, including the Lethean, Altovar who attempted to steal the Infirmary's supply of bio-mimetic gel. (DS9: "Distant Voices")
After she was injured by the Pah-wraith possessed Gul Dukat, Jadzia Dax was rushed to the Infirmary. Bashir was unable to save Jadzia, but was able to save the Dax symbiont. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
Towards the end of the Dominion War, Bashir spent many hours in the Infirmary, desperately trying to find a cure for the morphogenic virus that was killing Odo and his people. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")
Behind the scenes
Regarding the holoprojection system installed in "Doctor Bashir, I Presume", Ronald D. Moore commented: "The unit was installed by O'Brien specifically for Dr. Zimmerman's work and was presumably removed when he left the station. [...] I will rule out having an EMH on the station." [1]
