{{examples}}
== [[Anime]]
* 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.
* Happens in one episode of ''[[Sailor Moon]] R'', when Minako plays nurse to her friends, but ends up sick herself by the end of the episode, when Usagi and Chibi-usa return the favor.
* In ''[[Trinity Blood]]'', after Ion is shot by Tres, Sister Esther ends up caring for him (including replacing his bandages). A few episodes later, Esther is knocked unconscious and wakes up to find Ion at her bedside.
== [[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.) There's also a bit of [[Bait and Switch]] here -- the difference in their ages suggests that Miss Marbles' nurse isn't a ''medical'' nurse, but the [[w:Wet nurse|wet nurse]] who raised her.
* ''[[The Avengers (1998 film)|The Avengers]]'' (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.
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Ivanhoe]]'' Rebecca first acts as Ivanhoe's caretaker, then Ivanhoe acts as her champion.
* In ''[[Ethan Frome]]'', this happens three times with Zeena: Before their marriage and life together in Starkfield, Zeena was healthy and knowledgeable about medicine, taking care of Ethan's mother. During the majority of Ethan's story, Zeena spends her time claiming that she's ill and having Ethan care for her. Then, after {{spoiler|Ethan and Mattie's [[Bungled Suicide]], when they both acquire crippling injuries, Zeena takes care of them, even 20 years after the accident}}.
* In ''[[Frog and Toad]]'', Toad tries to cheer up Frog because he's sick. Frog gets better but then Toad gets sick and Frog takes care of him.
== [[Live
* In an episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Robin is sick and Ted takes care of her. When he goes to kiss her, she tries to refuse, but he goes ahead anyway. Immediately after, we see Ted in bed, Robin taking care of him.
