Mitul Shah

"I've read about this sort of thing happening on another ship before with their EMH."

–Shah, regarding technical difficulties being experienced with Dr. Karaav, the Independence's EMH.

Mitul Shah is the head nurse aboard the USS Tiger-A. He previously served aboard the USS Independence-A

Backstory

As a seasoned healthcare professional in his late 40s, Shah has great disdain for frivolity and prefers communication be direct when talking to either colleagues or patients. That said, he is not a harsh man. With his direct manner, his respect and care for those he treats is also clearly shown.

As one of the most experienced members of the Independence-A's medical staff, Shah proved invaluable as a teacher to the junior physicians and nurses such as Faryul Nishal and as a trusted adviser to the ship's younger (and technically lower-ranking) chief medical officer, Tenzin Zhou. After the destruction of the Independence, Shah was reassigned along with most of the crew to the USS Tiger-A.

Shah is married and has three grown children, the youngest having just started her post-secondary education. His wife Rajni, a university professor, remains on Earth along with the couple's eldest son in their native India.

Tone/Voice

Shah is soft-spoken but formal. He commands respect from the intensity and focus of his words, not their volume.
