Doctor Cottle is the Battlestar Galactica's irrascible Chief Medical Officer (CMO). Because the ship was operating with a minimal crew compliment leading up to its pending decomissioning, Cottle is the only real physician aboard the Galactica. In keeping with Sci-FI medical officers, he is somewhat eccentric -- a heavy smoker, despite knowing the risks, and one not overly impressed by positions of power.
Biography
He is the third person in the fleet to learn about President Laura Roslin's cancer condition (Act of Contrition), after Lee Adama (Bastille Day) and Billy Keikeya (Mini-Series). He has agreed to treat her condition, without revealing it to anyone else - and has further agreed to help her with more unorthodox treatments such as Chamalla Extract. His most recent examinations of her confirmed that the cancer had begun to attack her lymphatic system, giving her some six months to live.
He took a personal interest in Starbuck's recovery after she broke her leg (You Can't Go Home Again), and worked with Lee Adama to get her out of sickbay (Six Degrees of Separation) -- without success.
Grumpy of attitude, yet always professional, Cottle instantly inspires trust, despite his attitude.
After the assassination attempt on William Adama, (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II) Cottle was unavailable to help stabilize the Commander. This was worsened after Galactica's jump to different coordinates than the Fleet; his medics were ordered by Colonel Tigh to stop the internal bleeding. (Scattered) However, while they stabilized his condition they were unable to fully stop the bleeding. Cottle finally arrived and was able to begin surgery on Commander Adama, and after much risky work was able to safe his life. (Fragged)
At the request of President Roslin, he assists her in escaping Galactica by filing a request for a raptor flight away from Galactica, to care for patients on other ships. Roslin left Galactica on this raptor, which was cleared for launch because it was believed to be carrying Cottle to patients, and not the president ("Resistance"). Major Cottle then peformed a series of medical scans on Gaius Baltar's head at Baltar's request. Unknown to Cottle, Baltar was looking to see if there was a Cylon computer chip implanted into his brain. The scans showed absolutely nothing, and Cottle dismissed Baltar as a hypochondriac ([[Home, Part II).
Notes
His counterpart in the original series is Salik.
