Five memorable trips to the infirmary.
2. She never did figure out the cause, but she never forgot the time Colonel O'Neill came for his post-mission check convinced that the walls not only had ears, but mouths, too, and could she please get them to shut up because their yelling was giving him a headache. No one else showed any signs of whatever it was and no one on the team had noticed any symptoms in the colonel prior to the revelation in the infirmary. They'd consumed only rations on the planet and met no locals, nor had he been separated from the others at any time. Janet would have chalked it up to the colonel's warped sense of humor, but the 105 degree fever that developed that night wasn't the kind of thing he could fake.
3. Sam's 'condition' on returning from P53-93X still woke her up in a cold sweat some nights. She'd skimped on certain details in medical records before, in deference to her patients' privacy and where there was no medical need to elaborate, but that entry was a work of fiction. She had a complete account of it in her personal papers, written in a private code, just in case. She didn't expect to ever see it again, even working at the SGC. And for months after, she prayed she never would. She hadn't needed to order to staff to keep it confidential. No one wanted to remember it at all, much less talk about it. Besides, the general had that planet locked out of the computer.
4. Janet never forgot the first time Teal'c showed up with a sprained ankle. He limped awkwardly in and explained that he'd tripped during his morning run and that his ankle was bothering him. After what they went through when Teal'c took a staff blast to his back, Janet thought she might need to have a talk with his teammates. She knew it had to be difficult for him to come to her, especially for something so relatively minor. After checking the x-rays and determining it was just a severe sprain, she wrapped it, gave him the usual set of instructions and told him to take it easy for a few days. As he rose to leave, Teal'c bowed and thanked her for her efforts. He then turned and limped out with his back straight, his head held high and apparently unconcerned with the time the injury would take to heal. Janet smiled and moved on to her next patient. Teal'c was going to be just fine.
5. When Janet completed Colonel O'Neill's post-mission physical after the SAR to rescue SG-14, she thought she hid her surprise well. It wasn't the first time she'd found out about one of her patients that way. Getting called to duty unexpectedly happened, and there was no way to hide some things. Janet had never suspected the colonel. The slight challenge in his expression when he faced her told her she hadn't hidden her surprise quite as well as she thought. She didn't say anything about it, just smiled, told him everything looked fine and that he could go. His face relaxed and he thanked her and headed out. Janet grinned when she saw Daniel hovering outside the door looking worried. She would never forget their smiles as they walked out.
The roses and chocolates that showed up, anonymously, on her desk a couple of days later would never be forgotten, either.

2.The one Daniel couldn't remember was blowing his appendix in the briefing room. The last thing he remembered was getting off the elevator and the next thing he knew, he was waking up in the infirmary with Jack reading a fishing magazine aloud to him, bitching about the lengths some folks would go to get out of a promised fishing excursion with a friend.
3.When Jack walked into the infirmary after being freeze-dried. To say he caused a round of shock would be underestimating it.
4.The time General Hammond was felled by pneumonia. No one was used to seeing their commander lying helpless in a bed. Especially after they realized Jack was basically in charge for the duration.
5.The first time SG-1 came in for a post-mission check and realized Fraiser's name had been removed from the rotation. It hadn't seemed real until that point.

2. The Time Carter Got A Bit Of Her Own Medicine.
Teal'c and Daniel came through first.
"We require a medic!" said Teal'c.
"Or a vet" added Daniel.
Sam and Jack came through next. Jack was close behind Sam, so close that their bodies were touching, and their legs moved in unison. Jack's left hand was wrapped around Sam's waist to help hold her up, and his right hand was firmly holding the scruff of the weaselly creature that was dangling from Captain Carter's right hand. It was using the firm grip of its many pointy little teeth to do so. The Captain looked dazed and a bit woozy
"Feisty little thing," said Jack. "But unlike Carter here, it doesn't know when to stop biting and move on. Permission to keep moving, sir?"
And without waiting for permission or the medics, the little procession proceeded through the blast door towards the infirmary, Carter and O'Neill still in lockstep. The weaselly thing growled.
Janet met them at the door with a syringe full of muscle relaxant. Turns out the critter's saliva had a powerful depressant in it, which earned Sam a night in the infirmary to sleep it off.
3. Food Poisoning. 'Nuff said. And the Marines of SG-3 said it early and often for the next few weeks, until they came back after imbibing P39-534's alcoholic Super!laxative.
"Hey, at least we were only leaving a trail of vomit for the janitorial crew to follow!" remarked O'Neill dryly. Taunts about the chunk-blowin' chairforce had been making the locker rooms unpleasant for him, of late.
4. That Walk. From Kelowna. For the first time SG-1 was coming home with something that Janet Fraiser couldn't begin to fix. The team that could not be split apart was about to lose one of its own, and as they walked, a ripple of stunned silence followed. The mighty were fallen, and brought low, and grief spread up the Mountain like an inverted fog, rising from the lowest depths.
5. The Time They Got O'Neill With The Poisoned Javelin. It had been heading for Carter, and he couldn't have that. Unfortunately he hadn't quite managed to knock her out of the way and avoid damn thing. And whatever they coated it with, it was worse than Ba'al's acid drops. Way, way worse. Daniel and Teal'c carried him through, javelin still sticking out of his liver, swaying slightly as they moved gingerly down the ramp, doing their best to glide rather than walk, while Sam guarded the rear. What stuck in the memory of all present, and haunted their dreams, was the way O'Neill - O'Neill who could be pinned to the gateroom wall or stuck with a painstick with only a growl, or a tooth-gritted "Ah, God!" - was screaming, high, and hard, and continuously, as he began to arch, and buck, and writhe. It echoed down the hall as they passed on into the hall, until it cut off abruptly as he fainted. The silence was just as deafening.

Daniel doesn't remember it, but the first mission after he descended, Jack drew some of his scars back in with a blue Sharpie. Daniel’d fallen asleep on one of the empty spare beds, in clean scrubs because he didn’t know where to find more clothes, waiting for Jonas to get checked out.
Daniel uncovered the weird scrawling on his skin in the twelve or so hours after he woke up, and remembered when each of those hieroglyphs were white, and before that, red. He remembered the stories in reverse, and then played the memories back in proper order in his head. They were building up to a bigger picture, but Daniel wouldn’t be ready to present his conclusions for a while.
2.
Sam doesn't remember it, but the night they got back from P9C-882 was the first where Cam got to stay up all night helplessly worried about a teammate.
It sucked and he wanted to call his Momma, but the reception is nonexistant down in the guts of the mountain so the best he could do was fidget and fuss and not-sleep in the uncomfortable chairs. He called Momma the next night after he saw Sam comfortable as possible in recovery, and he baked up a storm, but he still couldn't get the sour taste of helplessness out of his mouth.
Macaroons can’t solve every problem, turns out.
3.
None of the rest of the team saw it, but on the way home on the Odyssey after it was captured and recaptured, broken and restored, Vala stole a valuable piece of equipment and snuck into the infirmary. Teal’c had bruises and cuts, and too much familiarity with the business end of a pain stick, but he hadn’t really needed any one else’s help healing. Still, Vala was stuck on a small ship and bored, the healing device was there in the medical lockers, and she knew they would leave Teal’c more or less alone with the mood he was in.
She was prepared to leave as quickly as she’d come if he was still seeing red; she hadn’t been prepared for an impromptu philosophical discussion of taking advantage of the Goa’uld, either prim’ta or dearly departed, to heal in exchange for their many and varied injuries.
She hadn’t expected Teal’c to allow her to stay with him. She hadn’t expected him to allow her to treat him. She was deeply grateful, though, for the company and the welcome, and the long rest she had that evening that helped pass another day in a small ship.
A few weeks later, she walked unchallenged into the post-operative recovery room in the mountain, SG-1 patch displayed proudly on her shoulder, and stood uncertainly over Samantha as she slept off the sedatives. Dr. Lam said very little as she offered Vala the healing device and watched her work.
Vala couldn't have spoken if she'd tried.

Everybody has said how much they love #1 and I totally agree, but #3 is my favorite. I'd forgotten that healing would be a skill Vala has, and I love her conversation with Teal'c, but even more I love Lam handing her the device and standing back.
*fingers crossed for two more* :-)
