But her brains were already scrambling. She was dying, which means she was not capable of giving informed consent, and he acted to save her life. (I certainly do NOT think she would have been better off dead, especially considering how much work she did on herself between her first and second appearances.)
Jack's overuse of retcon to avoid awkward questions or simply because he says it's "the rules" bothers me a great deal more than the Doctor doing what he had to do in order to make sure that she stayed alive and sane. IMO, Jack is the one committing assault, and on people who have not even been given the chance to know what is happening or why.
The Doctor acted to save her life. That makes a big difference to me.
