Aug 19, 2015 at 16:57 comment added Valorum @sidney - That's a really, really good point
Aug 19, 2015 at 16:01 comment added Sidney Considering the diagnostic program was eventually "grafted" on to The Doctor, it could be argued that it was not the doctor but actually the diagnostic program that has at some time been part of all three divisions, although it's a bit of a stretch.
Aug 19, 2015 at 0:07 comment added Valorum The quote from the episode is that "This programme contains a sophisticated diagnostic matrix specifically created for the Emergency Medical system". It seems to have been bundled into the overall EMH package. Word might not be the same program as Excel, but they're part of the same "suite" of programs.

Aug 18, 2015 at 23:40 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit The diagnostic program was of a completely separate matrix, which was a crucial plot point in that episode. I don't think we can count Zimmerman's hologram as the EMH here.
Aug 18, 2015 at 19:08 comment added ThePopMachine I don't know, I mean, he's got that messy hair to represent basically a different character. The EMH would remember everything the ECH did as actions by himself with new aptitudes. Would he remember what the diagnostic subroutine did as 'himself' ?
Aug 18, 2015 at 18:27 comment added Valorum @Iszi - You've hit the nail on the head. The Recovery Disk is part of Windows, not an entirely separate program.
Aug 18, 2015 at 18:18 comment added Iszi The diagnostic subroutine is a bit of a stretch. It was more meant to represent Dr. Zimmerman himself, than an actual extension of the EMH, even though technically it may have been a part of the whole EMH program bundle.
