Arthur Coleman

Doctor Arthur Coleman was a former Starfleet officer, and chief surgeon on Dr. Janice Lester's two-year expedition on Camus II.

Coleman was removed from his last starship posting as chief medical officer after Starfleet Command, in cooperation with the Starfleet Surgeon General, cited him for "administrative incompetence" and making "flagrant medical blunders".

He was in love with and conspired with Dr. Lester to use an energy transfer device to switch her mind into the body of Kirk and to transfer his mind into her body. When the plot was foiled and Dr. Lester was deemed insane, he wanted to care for her.
