{{tropenamer|page=Dr. McCoy}}

* [[He's Dead, Jim]]

* [[The McCoy]]

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: And ''proud'' of it.

* [[Hospital Hottie]]: To the point he had several women attracted to him. Not to Kirk's level, but still impressive.

* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Bones" is actually short for "saw-bones", an archaic term for a surgeon. It was originally intended as the nickname of Dr. Boyce from "The Cage", but was never used in that episode, making it available for McCoy.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He could be dour, he and Spock exchanged [[Volleying Insults]], and he was always the most pessimistic of the group. It still never stops him from doing the right thing regardless.
