Comment on How plausible is a medical tricorder?

What about a dermal regenerator…

Not plausible at all is the answer.

Also fixing everything with a tiny prick that doesn’t even sting. They fixed that up a bit on Strange New Worlds though, patients wince.

It’s science fiction, it’s the future, here’s a knife that toasts bread while you slice it!

They invented a real life hypospray

  The concept of the hypospray was developed when producers of the original Star Trek series discovered that NBC’s broadcast standards and practices prohibited the use of hypodermic syringes to inject medications; the needleless hypospray sidestepped this issue.
  
  OK I never saw it that way, I always assumed it works like an Epipen, which is not needleless. But in TV I guess it’s about not seeing the needle.
