In sickbay, the Doctor is conducting a medical pre-natal exam of Ensign Wildman, with Kes acting as the nurse.
Doctor: "Describe the nature of your pain."
Wildman: "In the lower back it's...tight."
Doctor: "Choose the word that would best describe your pain: burning, throbbing, piercing, pinching, biting, stinging, shooting-"
Wildman: "Shooting - it even goes down my legs."
Doctor: "Hmm."

Wildman: "Is the baby alright?"
Doctor: "Hmm? Oh, certainly. Fine. Nothing to worry about."
Wildman: "Well, makes me feel better."
Doctor: "The position of the baby is simply putting pressure on your sciatic nerve. You may return to your post."
Wildman: "The pain makes it difficult to sit for any period of time. It's really quite uncomfortable."

Doctor: "Elevating your legs when you sit should provide all the relief you need."
Wildman is feeling rather devasted by the lack of sympathy in the Doctor's bedside manner.
Kes: "Perhaps a day of rest off duty?"
The Doctor shakes his head.
Doctor: "Ensign Wildman, according to your medical history, this is your first pregnancy, correct?"
Wildman: "Yes."
Doctor: "Well, Ensign, unfortunately pregnancy causes its fair share of discomforts, and you'll have to learn to live with them. That's just the way it is."

The Doctor tells Kes, talking about Wildman in the third person even though she is right there: "We'll schedule her for follow-up in two days. If the pain has not subsided on its own by then, we'll attempt to decrease the sensitivity of the nerve in that region."
Wildman: "Thank you, Doctor.
Kes helps Wildman, putting an arm on her more for sympathy: "Call me day or night if this gets any worse." Wildman acknowledges and leaves.

After she has gone, Kes goes over to the Doctor. "Don't you have any compassion for the way she feels?"
Doctor: "Every member of this crew is an adult. I will not coddle them. Compassion can be your department. Fortunately you have enough for both of us."
Kes: "You've never been sick or in pain. I just wish once in your life you can know what it's like, how it makes you feel vulnerable and a little afraid. Then you'd understand." She leaves.
Doctor to himself: "I don't have a life. I have a program."

Notes Ensign Wildman was introduced in the series in [#18 Elogium], in which she reports at the end of the episode that she is pregnant.   Ensign Wildman's first name is not given in [#18 Elogium] or this episode.   We learn from [#25 Tattoo] that this is Wildman's first pregnancy.
