"Medical personnel are fair game as far as Klingons are concerned. They'll even kill wounded right in their beds. They think they're giving them an 'honorable death.'"
Kirby, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ("Nor the Battle to the Strong")

"I may have cancer and rot in my whole body, but it didn't kill me yet." He lifted a leg over the edge of the bed and staggered into the room. "I'll walk straight to the sheriff." He grinned. "Do not worry, Frieda. I will not say a word about you."
"So you are not dead yet," Frieda said. "That can be remedied." She pushed him back into the bedstead. "Hand me the pillow, Pier."
