That's a pretty good trivia question - name the episodes McCoy is not in. I can only think of one.
Memory Alpha has a site dedicated to this very question for the entire primary cast:
TOS Regular Cast Non-Appearances
They don't list every episode if a cast member wasn't present for a season (like how Chekov wasn't added until S2), but rather specify the season they came onboard.
Here are the episodes he did not appear but was otherwise a member of the cast:
quote:
"What Are Little Girls Made Of?" (Season 1)
"The Menagerie, Part II" (only in recap, recycled footage)
"Errand of Mercy"
He was not part of the cast for either pilot episode:
quote:
DeForest Kelley was not a cast member for "The Cage" or "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
Interestingly enough, the doctor in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was played by Paul Fix. He, like Kelly, was a veteran actor of westerns but is probably best known as playing the presiding judge in To Kill A Mockingbird (the classic from 1962). He was born in 1901, so he would have been, by far, the oldest cast member if he had stayed on.

Apparently no one from TOS liked Shatner. They almost all had a moment of calling Shatner out at one time or another.
Decades ago, I found a paperback called The Making of Star Trek or something similar (I just googled it, mine didn't have the same cover as what it shows). Just a fantastic essay on the show, and also on movies vs series.
It seems someone got a weather balloon, poured a bunch of cheap perfume in it, and inflated it inside Shatner's dressing room. He had to pop it to get in, and they said everything smelled like a Turkish whorehouse the rest of the season.
The showrunners got fed up with Shatner's tendency to get fat midseason (if you check the episodes, you will see he does). They had to confront him about that; he started working out in between takes. One of the special effects guys made up a styrofoam replica of the weight he'd lift, and he went over and grabbed it, ... and accidently flung it across the set.
