== Anime & Manga ==
* In an episode of ''[[Midori Days]]'', Seiji accidentally drinks a bottle of sake, and Midori tries to take care of him. When he wakes up, he feels great, but Midori is sick.
Line 16:
== Film ==
* In ''[[Murder By Death]]'', [[Miss Marple|Miss Marbles]] has a nurse—but Miss Marbles takes care of the nurse, rather than the other way around. (So, the actual reversal happened during the backstory.)
* ''[[The Avengers (1998 film)|The Avengers 1998]]'' (1998). After Steed is attacked by Mrs. Peel's clone, the real Mrs. Peel takes him to her home to recover and nurses him back to health. Later on, after Mrs. Peel is captured and brainwashed by Sir August, Steed rescues her and takes her to his home to recover.
* In the [[Akira Kurosawa]] film ''[[Red Beard]]'', Dr. Yasumoto takes care of a feverish girl, abused to the point of madness, named Otayo. When the doctor himself falls ill, Otayo tends him, which helps her mental recovery. (In an amusing bit, she even tries reading his medical texts to stay awake.)
* In both the [[Arthur (film)|original]] and [[Arthur (2011 film)|remake]] of ''Arthur'', the titular rich man-child ends up caring for Hobson, the servant who raised him and was more of a parent than his real parents, when Hobson falls ill.
