    Star Fleet medical techs would *HAVE* to be trained to cope with
zero-g.  They are (at least partially) a military force and
a battle is always a worse case scenario.  It's highly likely that
the gravity generators or what nots (I've never seen a discussion of
those anywhere) would be damaged during a battle.  Therefore they'd
*better* be trained to work in zero-g.
