Hospital Gurney Scene: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

The universal way for a character enters a hospital is to have the injured character on a [[wikipedia:Gurney|gurney]], being pulled down a long corridor into an operating room, with assorted doctors and friends surrounding him. This whole thing is often accompanied by a [[POV Cam|POV Shot]] of our character looking up at a doctor.

 

When the place the gurney is headed is more sinister, our character [[Strapped to An Operating Table|may be strapped to the gurney to struggle]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* The twelfth episode of ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' ends with {{spoiler|Kotetsu}} being rushed to the ICU this way after a violent [[Curb Stomp Battle]].

* Played straight in ''[[RoboCop]]'' as the horribly maimed Murphy is rushed into a trauma bay.

* Played straight in a terrifying manner in ''[[Jacob's Ladder]]''.

* Done hilariously in ''[[Evolution (film)|Evolution]]'', when Doctor Harry Block has an insect-like alien get into his body and is carted into the makeshift hospital room for it to be extracted, all while screaming "FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD AND HOLY, GET THIS GOD-DAMNED THING OUT OF ME!"

 

* Played straight and played with in ''[[Bones]]'', as Booth is being wheeled into surgery. However, the doctor he's looking imploringly at is Brennan...

* Amusingly done in one of ''[[Friends]]'''s flashbacks, when Monica accidentally cuts off Chandler's toe with a dropped kitchen knife. The doctors crash him through the swing doors ''feet first''.

* Perfectly executed in ''[[The West Wing]]'' episode ''In the Shadow of Two Gunmen'', first with President Bartlett, then with Josh.

* Done in ''[[Castle]]'' at the start of Rise, though Beckett is out.
