	It must be the disease, but Zimmerman appears older and sounds different than he did in his appearance in the Deep Space Nine episode "Dr. Bashir, I Presume?".
	Dr. Zimmerman says he hasn't left the station in over four years. This episode takes place in 2376, which means, according to him, he hasn't left since 2372. He seems to forget his trip to Deep Space 9 in mid-2373 "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?". More curiously, Hayley says he was on Vulcan on stardate 53292, which would have been only a few months prior to this episode! Even if this episode takes place in early 2377, Zimmerman doesn't give himself enough time to have been on Deep Space 9, and that still doesn't account for his Vulcan trip!
	When Deanna Troi first meets the Doctor and Lewis Zimmerman they are standing side by side. She asks, "Which one of you is Dr. Zimmerman?" Wouldn't a Betazoid know a real person from a hologram? Plus, the Doctor is wearing a 3 year out of date Starfleet uniform. Troi should know this as she wearing one of the new ones.
