If we want to know what multispecies healthcare looks like, we can ask a veterinarian

These concerns are actually how I imagine xenophobes get their growth bonus in stellaris and similar games that give the same general buff to being xenophobic. It is not that they are growing faster, it is they do not bother with what other species need for the most part. The Drs.* are trained for one species, and food is for one species, the infrastructure etc etc.

I love that each sentence has its own basically totaly random clip from a totlally random movie game or show which still manage to convays the point at each given time just perfectly.

I like the inclusion of flaps to cover the ears in Babylon 5's breathing masks. Good low-budget acknowledgement that atmospheric differences go beyond just breathing.

From scratch a vet is probably a better start point for a cross species medic, already familiar with more environmental considerations and body plans as well as not always having the perfect tools / environment to work in.

Futurama takes that Doctor point to hilarity with Dr. Zoidberg. He’s probably an excellent Doctor, knowledgeable in treatments and surgeries for numerous Alien Species. It just so happens Humans weren’t in his curriculum…

Magnetic field is also a factor that I've not seen scifi really covered. While human doesn't really have interaction with ambient magnetic field, an avian species might as it might disorient them.

That's what I appreciated about the first Men In Black movie, they actually talked about aliens being on a different time schedule than humans. Zed said "it's a 37 hour day, you'll get used to it, or have a psychotic episode.". Another thing that I don't see alot of sci-fi talking about is atmospheric pressure. There's no way that an alien who breathes methane could live in the same kind of environment that a oxygen-nitrogen breathing alien lived in.

One of my favourites in Babylon5 by G'Kar: "It's an earth food, they are called Swedish meatballs. It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs! I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never be explained, or which would drive you mad if you ever learned the truth."

Valerian actually did a halfway decent job of addressing this. But most other species had their own pressure suits to compensate

The Orville has some other great and funny practicality moments, like the Moclans being able to eat a wide variety of solid matter and the cigarettes; not the crippling smoking addiction they get, but that fact the first thing Klyden does is eat one out of the curiosity of it's taste.

I once designed an alien species that was similar to the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park. But they communicated with color changing skin like a Cuttlefish. They have underdeveloped hearing since the planet had constant wind noise so sound is a poor form of communication. Changing a core concept of communication can have a significant effect on how a species develops and interact with others.

The amount of times mass effect was or could have been referenced here. Mass effect barely scratches the surface of the practicalities of multispecies habitation, but it still puts in more effort than most.

That's why I always liked Dr.Franklin from Babylon 5. He left Earth to learn about other species and it took him years to get all the information and practical experience

I like Arrival because the how to communicate was pretty much the plot line altogether. Once the language barrier was crossed the final "power" so to speak was unlocked.

I think, for the most part, Babylon 5 highlighted the differences more than most other shows. Mostly because there was a visual representation for it.

I’ve always felt like it would have to be unpleasant for species that have to wear specific breathing-equipment in earth-like atmospheres (Like the Kel-Dor in Star Wars or Zaranites in Star Trek) to have to spend the majority of their time wearing them. Imagine having to wear an entire gas mask all-day everyday and you can only (maybe) take it off in your bedroom.

I like the Humanity F** Yeah! trope where Earth is a Deathworld and humans are absurdly durable so that only the aliens need to worry about things, and we can survive anywhere.

My favorite example of these issues is from Project Hail Mary by Andy Wier. It covers all these difficulties in a way that makes for a great story just with the two main characters learning how to interact.

"Peeing your bones out" is not a phrase I ever thought I'd hear, but it makes perfect sense in this context.
