(DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars") In 2373, Doctor Beverly Crusher activated USS Enterprise-E's Emergency Medical Hologram and asked him to create a diversion for some Borg drones that were about to breach sickbay. The hologram protested, saying he was a doctor, not a doorstop. (Star Trek: First Contact) Also that year, Jadzia Dax regarded the piece of technology that Worf had "ripped (it) out of the wall" (possibly a Vorta computer console) and sarcastically asked him whether they should use it for a doorstop. (DS9: "The Ship")
