Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy was "just an old country doctor" on the starship Enterprise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. We cannot stress enough that he is a doctor, dammit. Not a bricklayer or a mechanic or a moon shuttle conductor, but a doctor. Jim seems to think otherwise.

McCoy was the Enterprise's chief medical officer, often finding himself playing nursemaid to some strange alien creature or an escaped criminal when they were carted into sickbay. He was perhaps most well-known for his anti-Vulcan bigotry, particularly against the half-Vulcan, Spock. Considering how many other southerners seem to be more bigoted towards members of their own species (such as black people or Jews or women), McCoy's own distrust towards Spock would be more easily condoned were it not for the fact that Spock is supremely awesome.
Dr. Bones was also extremely bigoted towards Tribbles, but since Tribbles are the most terrifying thing in existence, this hatred is completely justified.
After many wacky and fun-filled adventures on the Enterprise, Dr. McCoy retired to Myrtle Beach, where he spends his time drinking Coronas and getting back massages from Nurse Chapel, and on occasion driving around a golf cart after doing some hits of LSD, often unintentionally quoting Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Other people say that he is actually dead, but these people are not cool, and therefore should be totally ignored.
He's dead, Jim.
I'm not quite dead.
Shut up. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
I feel happy. I feel... happy *whack!*
