Is That an Order, Doctor?

Commander Beverly Crusher, M.D., played by actress Gates McFadden, is a fictional character on the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and its subsequent spin-off films. She was a regular character in the show for all but the second of its seven seasons. She was the chief medical officer of both the Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E. Dr. Crusher was appointed chief medical officer of the Starship Enterprise-D in 2364, and joined the ship at Farpoint Station with her son Wesley Crusher. She was not afraid to speak her mind to Captain Picard and in one episode advised him to rest. He responded, "Is that an order, Doctor?". During the second season, the Crusher character was written out of the show and replaced by the louder, more outgoing Dr. Katherine Pulaski. Patrick Stewart was upset by McFadden's departure from the show and played a large part in bringing about her return in season three. -wikipedia
