* HeroicBSOD: The Doctor is revealed to have done an almost literal (as he's a computer program) version of this following an incident in which two patients were equally at risk and equally treatable; he chose the one he was better friends with, which was [[AIIsACrapshoot contrary to his programming]]. The memory was erased from his program, and when it was restored he suffered the same condition but eventually recovered.

-->'''Seven:''' When you separated me from the Collective, I was an unknown risk to your crew. Yet you kept me onboard. You allowed me to evolve into an individual.\\
'''Janeway:''' You're a human being. He's a ''hologram''.\\
'''Seven:''' And you allowed that ''hologram'' to evolve as well. To ''exceed'' his original programming. And yet now you choose to abandon him.\\
'''Janeway:''' Objection noted. Goodnight.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Just after Janeway blows off Seven's PatrickStewartSpeech, she gets this as a capper.
-->'''Seven:''' It is...unsettling. You say that I am a human being, and yet I am also Borg. Part of me not unlike your replicator. Not unlike the Doctor. Will you one day choose to abandon ''me'' as well? ''*beat*'' I have always looked to you as my example, my ''guide'' to humanity. Perhaps I've been mistaken. Goodnight.

* SurvivorGuilt: The Doctor, Harry, and Tom all get hit with this: the Doctor can't reconcile saving Harry over Ahni just because of their friendship, Harry knows she had an equal chance of survival and it was only that choice which saved his life, while it was Tom's insistence that the Doctor ''make'' a choice which inadvertently caused the problem.

** Janeway's reasons for doing this stemmed from the Doctor's actions in those deleted memories. It turns out it was a SadisticChoice where the Doctor had to choose between two patients who had identical injuries, Harry and Jetal. The deciding factor ended up being the Doctor himself as he's more acquainted with Harry than Jetal, something he's strictly not supposed to do as an impartial life-saver. The resulting LogicBomb reduces the Doctor to a ballistic, grief-stricken BrokenRecord. Janeway has been deleting his memories so he doesn't go through that again... and upon his memories coming back, he goes through the exact same breakdown. While the crew adopts a more humane method to help the him after that, the Doctor himself admits that Janeway made the right call back then.

* ProperlyParanoid: Even after Janeway promises to secure his database and investigate the matter, the Doctor prepares a backup of his memories to be downloaded after anyone accesses his database, and sets up his holocamera to photograph anyone who enters Sickbay. Sure enough someone enters Sickbay and purges his memory buffer. The computer activates the Doctor a short time later as per his instructions, then downloads the backup memories. The Doctor goes to see what the camera recorded. [[EtTuBrute It turns out to be Captain Janeway.]]

* TakeAThirdOption: Defied when the episode's SadisticChoice comes up, as the Doctor immediately realizes he doesn't have time to operate on both Kim and Jetal. The only alternative, as Paris suggests, would be the Doctor walking Paris through the procedure so that they can operate on the patients simultaneously, but the Doctor rejects that on the grounds that the procedure is too complicated to explain to someone uninitiated. In light of all that, Paris shouts at the Doctor to make a choice, and he chooses Kim.

* BackstoryInvader: An inverted example. Jetal has never been seen before this episode, but she [[RememberTheNewGuy always existed]], it was just that the Doctor's memory of her was erased. This probably isn't just because Voyager lacks a B-Cast, however, since the episode [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools relies on creating a mystery about her identity]] that wouldn't have been possible if they'd used a recognizable person like Lieutenant Ayala. A possible reading is that the [[MindScrew entire series up until that point]] reflects the EMH's edited memories, and Jetal could have been around and involved in major plot points.
