Psychological Profile: Report of Starfleet Counselor Telnorri, Bajoran Sector
Although medically brilliant, Bashir has come a long way in his personal development and maturity since arriving among the first Starfleet contingent at Deep Space Nine, his first post-Academy assignment, at age 27 on SD 46390.1.
Bashir first recalls wanting to be a doctor at age 5, when he sewed up his teddy bear Kukulaka as his first "patient." Five years later, while living on Invernia II where his father, a Federation diplomat, was stationed, a massive ionic storm caused the needless death of a same-aged native girl; it was an incident which he credited as his first real push to study medicine — though not before overcoming a childhood fear of doctors. Their seeming power over life and death led him to break the mystery by becoming one, when he realized he just wanted to help people. Even so, he seriously considered a career in tennis before realizing he was no pro. He was a star athlete in the sister sport of racquetball, though, and later played on the Academy team. Both Bashir's parents were still alive in 2370.
