Trivia
Robert Picardo loved doing this episode due to the opportunity to work with David Clennon, with whom he is good friends in real life.

Goofs
The Doctor and Crell are transferred from Holodeck two over to the sickbay. Since they are both holograms, this is something that can easily be done. The Doctor, however, has his mobile emitter on at the time. This is a physical piece of equipment, but it is shown to transfer over as though it was holographic.

Quotes
[Cpt. Janeway and several crew members are listening to a very boring presentation by the Doctor on the holodeck]
Harry Kim: [on the bridge] 2100 hours, Commander. All systems reporting normal.
Chakotay: Acknowledged.
Harry Kim: Like I said, it's 2100 hours.
Chakotay: I heard you the first time, Harry.
Harry Kim: They've been in there over an hour.
Chakotay: I'm aware of that.
Harry Kim: Didn't the Captain ask you to rescue them after 30 minutes?
Chakotay: Harry, you and I were lucky enough to enjoy the Doctor's scintillating exhibition for two full hours. Would it really be fair of us to deny our friends the same unforgettable experience?
Harry Kim: [smiling] Of course not, sir.

A really stupid moral trouble

I understand the Mengele problem here, but the cardassian doctor IS A HOLOGRAM!!!!!! They simply can change the aspect of the hologram and problem solved.

On the other hand, many of the human medical advances come from studies carried out, not only on animals, as it is said in the series, but even on humans. And today they are still used to heal. Is it okay? No, but it is reality.

It seems to be a serious moral issue to have used Holographic doctor knowledge to cure B'Elana, but no mention is made of the vaccine that was ACTUALLY obtained through those heinous practices, but it seems to still be applied.
