I don't know that Kes was all that good either. She just followed around The Doctor and did whatever he said.
You just accidentally described most of the companions in Doctor Who...
Yeah, but they aren't nurses.
She learned quickly and listening to the Doctor can't be seen as a negative. Excepting when it comes to bodily autonomy.
I don't remember her doing much to show she could do anything on her own.
She found her way eventually.
The doctor specifically mentions her remarkable memory for medical knowledge.
Yes, but what did she actually do?
Did she really have to? Nurses act independently in regular medical settings, but when there's a doctor with the sum total of a civilization's medical knowledge available 24/7, everyone else is just a pair of helping hands.
