His brand of medicine is just waiving a wand over the injured and watching them just magically get well. Ultimately the whales are saved and the mission is a success for the Enterprise. While not sci-fi oriented or action oriented as much as some of the other Trek films, this is one of the most entertaining Star Trek films to watch.
