Her dedication to her field seemed rather skin-deep to me. And that's also subjective -- you read a lot different things into what was said than I did.

But you're going to ignore all that and argue the platform that because she didn't have medical jargon shooting out of her mouth at every opportunity or wasn't performing an alien autopsy on poor Boe or whoever, that suddenly it must be the writers trying to tell you that "OMG. She has no interest in medicine!", despite the fact they continually tell and show you that she has an interest in medicine.

I don't think that I ever said anything about the writers not wanting me to believe she was interested in medicine. I just don't think they were very good at making it believable. Those are quite different things.
