DeForest Kelley was set to appear in this film as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, but due to his declining health, he could not get on-set insurance (a union requirement for anyone on a movie set). His lines were then given to Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov. This is the reason that Chekov recruits two reporters as a makeshift medical staff and oversees the treatment of the rescued El-Aurians despite having no previously established medical training.
