In Code Blue - Emergency Prilicla has to persuade Khone - the pregnant Gogleskan with extreme personal space issues - to allow one of the crew of Rhabwar to examine it.
Only Danalta and the accident-prone Sommaradvan Cha Thrat, it transpires, are remotely acceptable to Khone. Prilicla is pleased, explaining to it that Danalta is a polymorph who can take any physical shape required for the operation - only to find that Khone also has a terrible fear of shape-changers.
Luckily, the Sommaradvan shape bears a comforting resemblance to clay dolls made by Gogleskan children - and so Mary Sue Thrat finds herself centre stage despite a distinct lack of other-species surgical experience.
I think Prilicla should have instructed Danalta to take the shape of Cha Thrat. Khone would have been none the wiser.
Still to come - why Mind Changer would be even better if, instead of being made to retire, O'Mara was ignominiously sacked from the hospital for all the abuse and bullying he's been responsible for over the years.
