Maybe we should dig up articles posted here (and net.sf-lovers) from a
year ago.  Why this sudden revival of questions about Star Trek which
were satisfactorily answered long ago?  Oh, well, no harm done.

Remember that the Enterprise was more severely damaged in the battle with
Khan than at any other time we know of.  Many ship's systems were either
malfunctioning or just plain not working at all.  This includes the
turboelevators.  Scott could only have been thinking of getting his nephew
to sick bay.  It's entirely reasonable to assume a malfunction which
brought Scott to the bridge instead.  There is another logical possibility.
The bridge (for obvious reasons) has a priority on turboelevators.  The
controlling system may have decided that the bridge needed one on a
priority basis and sent it there before sick bay.
