What lazy writing! I can't believe this even aired. Besides being predominantly reused footage, the medical treatment is horrible.
If the doctor could kill the infection, she should have done so before it left Riker's leg. I'm sure he would have rather been alive without a usable leg than dead.
Also, stimulating memories to release endorphins is inefficient. If Riker had less than an hour to live, once she diagnosed the chemicals needed, just replicate them and injected Riker and saved him, and us, from reliving horrible memories, especially since he was supposed to have been so weak.
I hate to call any of that spoilers. The episode is so bad it can't really be spoiled any more.

Thank God for fast forward.
