Paramedic Ishay is a medic serving aboard the Galactica. One of the many resource shortfalls of the Galactica's ongoing logistical nightmare is a shortage of medical personnel. Major Cottle is the only trained physician on board (perhaps in all of the fleet), supplemented by a handful of medics. As a result, Ishay has been required to step up to perform medical proceedures she wouldn't normally be expected to perform.
Biography
When Commander Adama was shot by Sharon "Boomer" Valerii in a failed assasination attempt, Cottle was not on board when the Fleet jumped to the wrong nav coordinates. Subsequently, Ishay, Layne, and other medics tried their best to save Adama's life. Despite never having performed an operation in her life, Ishay operated on Adama and was eventually able to stablize his condition ("Scattered"). However, she had been unable to fully stop Adama's internal bleeding, and then aided the recently-arrived Major Cottle in another surgery with saved Commander Adama's life ("Fragged").
Ishay speaks with an accent similar to Gaius Baltar's, which may be a local characteristic of one of the Twelve Colonies.
Notes
Kerry Norton is also the wife of actor Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama).
Ishay's name was not given in dialogue, so the name used here is the actress's credited role on IMDB. Her character has also been referred to as "Kim", but it is not known where this originated.
End titles show her first name to be Layne.
