Robert Picardo: The Doctor

Quotes 

• Dr. Crell Moset : How do you suppose your own database was developed? Hm? My God, half the medical knowledge acquired on Earth came through experiments on lower animals.

  The Doctor : But not people!

  Dr. Crell Moset : It's convenient to draw a line between higher and lower species, isn't it?

• [Kim has concerns when realizing that the Medical Consultant Program is a Cardassian] 

  The Doctor : I don't care if he's the nastiest man who ever lived, as long as he can help us save B'Elanna.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Crell Moset : Where was your conscience when B'Elanna was dying on that table? Ethics? Morality? Conscience? Funny how they all go out the airlock when we need something. Are you and I really so different?

  The Doctor : Computer - delete Medical Consultant Program and all related files.

• The Doctor : [of B'Elanna Torres]  When I told her that we'd used Moset's program, she was unhappy, to put it mildly. I nearly had to sedate her.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Sounds like her Klingon temper has fully recovered.

  The Doctor : Practically qualifies as a chronic condition.

• Dr. Crell Moset : I'm sure you've made your share of breakthroughs.

  The Doctor : Naturally. Unfortunately, no one from Starfleet ever hears about them. I toil in obscurity.

• Dr. Crell Moset : I've already outlined a paper that you and I will one day present to the Federation Medical Academy: "Total Systemic Invasion of a Klingon-Human Hybrid by a Cytoplasmic Pseudo-Parasite." Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

  The Doctor : Are we also going to tell them where you honed your surgical techniques? A footnote perhaps: "For further details, see Cardassian death camps."

• Dr. Crell Moset : Delete my program and you violate the first oath you took as a physician: 'Do no harm.'

  The Doctor : "Do no harm." You have no right to say those words.

• Ensign Tabor : [about Crell Moset]  I can still remember the sounds his instruments made, the screams of his patients, the smell, chemicals and dead flesh. He operated on my grandfather, exposed his internal organs to nadion radiation. It took six days for him to die. He blinded people so he could study how they adapted, exposed them to polytrinic acid just to see how long it would take for their skin to heal.

  The Doctor : Ensign, the man you're accusing cured the Fostossa virus. He stopped an epidemic that killed thousands of Bajorans.

  Ensign Tabor : By infecting hundreds of people so that he could experiment with different treatments - old, helpless people, like my grandfather, because he considered their lives worthless.

  The Doctor : How do you know this?

  Ensign Tabor : Everybody knew.

• Dr. Crell Moset : You're a physician. You know there's always a price to pay for the advancement of medical science.

  The Doctor : Sometimes that price is too high. Torture?

  Dr. Crell Moset : Your word, not mine.

• The Doctor : It is my judgment that the Medical Consultant Program and all the algorithms contained therein shall be deleted from the database. In light of recent evidence, I cannot in good conscience utilize research that was derived from such... inhuman practices.
