I have not seen the movie and I agree some things are nitpicky (diaper) but seriously, is there any plausible explanation as to why a medical doctor is the one working on that equipment? I cannot see any scenario where I can put aside reality that much.

The explanation they gave was that it was her specific equipment -- and I thought she was a medical research scientist...not a surgeon or anything.  And is that completely realistic?  Probably not.  ...but nothing that affected my ability to suspend disbelief.

Maybe she's not that kind of doctor. Smiley (Big Bang Theory reference)

^^^ My understanding was she was a medical doctor (maybe in research as Dave mentions) but none of that qualifies her to have anything to do with the Hubble Telescope which is what she was working on from my understanding of the story.

According to a plot summary, she's a mission specialist.  She was specifically sent on the mission to service a medical research device on the Hubble.

I'm cool with her being up there for whatever reasons... I just don't see why they had to say a medical research device was installed on the Hubble "Telescope" (which is pointed away from Earth at all times)... They could have easily said its <insert random satellite name here> ...

I liked the movie, regardless of the few very small mistakes that we should just let pass ...

I was disappointed. Nice visuals but not very good otherwise.
