Bean may be short but he makes up for his lack of height by being a well-skilled and knowledgeable healer/medic for the crew on The Voyager. Nothing stops him from being able to carry out his duty, being empathetic and understanding to his fellow crewmates. Bean is also very wise and often gives advice to his younger friends who may be struggling with their thoughts and feelings, or any other issues they maybe facing within their time on The Voyger.
