Ghee P'Trell was a Caitian chirurgeon (doctor), born and raised on Andoria. As of December, 2380, he was head of Starfleet Medical.(novel: Articles of the Federation)

Keith R.A. DeCandido explains on his website: "That P'Trell was "of Andor" was established in [ DS9 episode ] "Prophet Motive," but was never specified as Andorian. That he's a Caitian who was raised (and got his medical degree) on Andor is a conceit of the author's to reconcile the character's name, which doesn't follow established norms of Andorian nomenclature as seen in [ TOS episode ] "Journey to Babel," [ ENT episode ] "The Andorian Incident" and other ENT episodes, and the post-finale DS9 fiction."
