| Personal History | Born on S.S M'arash on 18 May 2237, the young Caitian that would be known as Jeremiah McEntyre knew of his birth parents for all of one hour before the Klingons raided and attacked their ship while crossing the Federation border. Their ship was rescued by United Starship Wolfe Number 1227, where his adoptive Mother, Kelly, served as their Medical Officer. She found the young Caitian under his parents' bodies, and taking him as her adoptive son, brought him back to Earth to raise with her husband Henry. He quickly adapted quite well to life on Earth. The Ranch was over 300 acres for him to explore and wander, where he quickly bonded with the animals and ranch hands that worked on the ranch. Jeremiah, like many to come on his bloodline, found he loved to help people, and was inspired by his mothers’ work as a doctor. Though at first, he wanted to be a Veterinarian, but finding that Vets were not really needed aboard starship, quickly changed his focus to Surgery and Internal Medicine. He entered the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School upon graduating from High School in 2254 with MCATs in the Top 30 Percentile. He found that he rather enjoyed the work of a surgeon, adapting and excelling in his studies and premedical programs. During this time, he met his wife, Stella, a Human who was studying nursing. They married in 2256 with the birth of their twins, James and Leanne coming one year later. He graduated with Honors and was accepted to Starfleet in 2258 as a surgical resident, training at the Starbase One Medical Hospital. He completed his residency in 2261 and was commissioned into the fleet thereafter, being assigned to the frontier at Deep Space K-19 as a Surgeon in 2262, completing his tour in 2267. As of October 2267 he is awaiting reassignment, preferably to a Starship, while completing a one year rotation as an Attending Physician at Starfleet Medical Complex-Parkland in Dallas near his ranch. In 2268, Jeremiah was assigned as a Medical Officer/Surgeon to the Constitution Class Midway. |
