Rest in Peace, Lt. Ogawa.

RIP to the one of the only medics under Picard that ever seemed to know what she was doing.

Fuck Cancer

It always made me happy as an Asian to see an Asian woman in the medical field on television, and one never looked down upon. Plus that performance in “All Good Things…” is incredible.

Thank you for being one of the Asians on Star Trek Auntie Patti.

@hopesdead @KillingAndKindess She was also excellent in Beef.

Nooooo, was just watching Future Imperfect with a friend the other day and when she showed up I was like, "Yaaaay, Nurse Ogawa!" and then found out while cehcking Memory Alpha afterwards that that ep was actually her first appearance. For a character with so little screentime, I always really liked her and wish we'd seen more of her. RIP Patti, we'll raise a glass in Ten Forward to ye!
