I think you’re thinking of a different episode, but that’s also a good one.
I thought OP was talking about the one where the Doctor saved Ensign Kim and not the woman, though both were equally wounded and had an equal chance of surviving - he had to pick one, he picked Kim, and couldn’t stand the guilt of the decision. They tried to delete the memory, but that failed, so he spent weeks working through it.
Possibly, I was basing off the stated episode number and it is an ethical and moral dilemma, but as stated, they loved ethical dilemmas in the original shows.
Honestly it’s been long enough since I’ve gotten to s5 of Voyager I’m fuzzy on things, but I vaguely remember that episode?
Edit: I looked it up and was definitely thinking of episode 8 op was talking about episode 11, maybe? The doctor figures out he operated on Kim but doesn’t remember why or when.

Yep, those are the two I was thinking of. Nothing Human and Latent Image (I had to look up those titles).
