How many times do you think The Doctor said the line, "please state the nature of the medical emergency" in Voyager?

One of you people has counted. Don't tell me you haven't. Nerds.

And yes, I know the picture isn't from Voyager. That was the only one I could find with him saying it.

I loved the later seasons where he would say stuff like:
"Please state the nature- oh, it's you."
- Verbatim what he says in ‘Living Witness’.
- "This medical emergency is brought to you by Carl's Jr."
  
  "No wait.. THIS one goes in your butt, and this one goes in your mouth"
- He's probably asked to say it wherever he goes. Kind of like how people keep asking Tim Russ to say, "we ain't found shit!"
It was one of the few times a stock line made sense.
- Definitely, but I bet he hated saying it by the end of the series.

- See? I knew it.
- I never really noticed before how he just randomly appears somewhere in sickbay. You'd think there'd be a designated spot.
  
  The engineers probably workshopped it. "He should appear close to the patient but not like, threatening close..."
  
  Probably wherever the shot made it easiest to edit him in or move the camera slightly.
Probably the same number of times that Dr. Lazarus had to say his line .... BY GRABTHAR'S HAMMER!
Without even looking to verify, I am 99.9% confident you could probably find a compilation of every instance he has said the line of you do a search.
I have seen one that compiled every instance of Voyager's photon torpedo count to show they used way, way more than they ever had to use. Which was great.
Probably like sixteen times final answer
