I doubt it.  He has also been:

	- shot in the back by a flintlock ("A Private Little War")
	- Slapped HARD back to consciousness following the above...
	- Placed on trial for MUTINY (not to mention the capitol
		offense for taking the Enterprise to Talos IV)
	- Left for dead in a giant single-celled *creature* ("The
		Immunity Syndrome") ("Tell Dr. McCoy .. He would not
		have survived it.")
	- forced to face "Pon Far" (sp?) while LightYears from home
		with little hope of getting there ("Amok Time")

   AND more recently ...

	- Has failed to achieve the greatest persuit of his people
		(The Kholinar)
	- Practically burned up his neural system in a mind meld
		with VGER
	- Killed (simulated, but killed just the same) on the Bridge
		of the *Training Simulator* Enterprise ("Aren't you
		DEAD?")
	- and of course forced thru "Pon Far" (sp??) AGAIN with that
		fake Saavik (I liked Kirstie Alley's Saavik much better)

That's all I can remember that haven't already been mentioned here .. and
there have been quite a few!!
