Never mind that such a feat might fundamentally alter the world in which St. Elsewhere exists, Wheaton's character decides he wants to be a doctor, so even though he's only 14, he joins the cast for rounds.
Wheaton is very good here, and it's interesting to see him in a role that comes after his star-making turn in Stand By Me but before he joined the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation as Wesley Crusher.
Other Star Trek alums appear in this episode: Bruce Greenwood, who joined the regular cast this season and who appeared as Captain Pike in the first two Kelvin timeline movies, and Ed Begley Jr., who guest-starred on Star Trek: Voyager. Mind you, several St. Elsewhere regulars have appeared on Star Trek, perhaps most famously Jane Wyatt, who played Amanda Grayson, Spock's mom.
