Line 11:
== 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.
* Happens in one episode of ''[[Sailor Moon (Manga)|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.)
* ''[[The Avengers (1998 (Filmfilm)|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.)
 
Line 33:
* This happens between River and Simon on ''[[Firefly]]''.
* [[Played for Drama]] in the second episode of [[Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman]], Dr. Mike works herself to exhaustion during a deadly flu epidemic and must be cared for by Sully when she catches the disease herself.
* ''[[Kung Fu]]'': in "Besieged: Cannon at the Gates", Caine is lying on the ground mortally wounded after he sabotages a cannon firing at the Shaolin Temple, and his [[Girl of the Week]] is leaning over his body comforting him. Then the [[Dragon Withwith an Agenda]] stabs her; she becomes limp, and Caine reverses positions with her as she dies. Suddenly he's fine.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'': In "Storytelling", Jake gets sick and Finn takes care of him, obeying all of Jake's requests, including the one to find a true story to tell him. At the end of the episode, Finn gets sick as well, and Jake rushes to do everything for him as well...until he realises that Finn has just fallen asleep.
* "Nurse Stimpy" from ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]''.
* Happens in the ''[[Rocko's Modern Life (Animation)|Rocko's Modern Life]]'' episode "Yarn Benders", which begins with Filburt getting sick after being caught in the rain and ends with Rocko and Heffer catching the illness after mangling a few fairy tales that they're reading to Filb.
* In the beginning of one ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' episode, Samantha Manson, the tomboy of the show, is sick and Danny and Tucker try to take care of her. This is also when the sidekick, Tucker, gets ghost powers. Guess who gets sick at the end?
* "Is There An Ed In The House" of "[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]." At the beginning, Sarah has a cold, and Double-D, Ed, and Jimmy take care of her. Near the end of the episode, Double-D comes down with Sarah's cold, which leads to Jimmy rushing up to Double-D saying: "Oh, you poor thing! You sound sick- you shouldn't be outside!" He leads Double-D back into his house to take care of him.
