Doctor Brickman was a 20th century male Human surgeon. In 1986, Brickman was working at Mercy Hospital in San Francisco when Pavel Chekov was brought in with head trauma. He was about to drill into Chekov's head to relieve pressure when James Kirk, Leonard McCoy, and Gillian Taylor broke into the operating room and sealed Brickman and his staff into a side room. They then took Chekov and Brickman's group was soon discovered by the police. (TOS movie: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) Later that year, he was interviewed by Detective Chizum who was investigating Chekov's disappearance and wasn't helpful.
