* Janeway justifies the Doctor as equipment by making comparisons with a replicator giving her the wrong temperature coffee, however the replicator almost always requires the user to specify a temperature for drinks or liquids before dispensing, something Janeway ''doesn't'' do. She's rationalizing and she knows it.

** Janeway must also have secured all files in the ship's computer concerning Jetal so the Doctor could not accidentally stumble on them, so that lower-level crew members can't even look up her records or picture. In a way, Janeway erased everyone's memory of Jetal, not just the Doctor.
** The memory wipe would have had to go far beyond just the incident that killed Jetal - Janeway would have had to remove all of the Doctor's memories that even peripherally involve her, going back years. No wonder he felt so violated.

* FridgeLogic: So do all 150 crewmembers get surprise birthday parties, or was Jetal just special?
** Why not? There's precious little to lift the crew's spirits stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Weekly birthday parties are probably helping the crew retain their sanity.
** Jetal's playful "I'm gonna kill you" comment to Neelix might suggest that she dislikes surprise parties, but once word of this got out, Neelix arranged one to troll her in the same way he's always trolling Tuvok. There's another episode where Janeway privately surprises Tuvok with a birthday cake. Most other people probably don't get surprise parties every single year.

* FridgeBrilliance: The flashbacks are set in late Season 3. This means that the Doctor had his breakdown during a time when Voyager knew they were nearing Borg space. Ensign Wildman also has a very young child onboard. And they do not yet have the benefit of Seven of Nine's knowledge and abilities. Keeping the Doctor online and functioning would be crucial. This makes Janeway's decision to wipe the Doctor's memory of the incident more understandable.
