Plotline
The EMH is stolen by a visiting alien and sold to the administrator of a planet so short of resources that all medical care is strictly rationed according to an individual's importance to society. Horrified, he attempts to bend the rules to help patients who might otherwise die - but with the bureaucracy determined to stamp out such actions, just how far is he willing to go for his patients?
