What, did the Hippocrates Compensator break? Are you going to bleed out in the pattern buffer? It’s impossible to scan an electron if it has a boo-boo. Lifting them bodily on to a stretcher can’t be better than beaming them directly into a bed.
Aside from all that, though, I would love an explanation from someone who’s read the technical details invented by the showriters about why injuries impact transporter effectiveness. I genuinely want to know the in-universe explanation.
Probably because site to site transport is more volatile than directly to the transporters. That was a major thing in the earlier episodes as well. They almost never beamed site-to-site.
They often mention that someone is too injured to transport safely in those occasions.
