Line 9:
== 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]].
* Shiki's admittance into hospital in the 4th ''[[Kara noKarano Kyoukai]]'' movie.
 
== Film ==
* In ''[[District 9]]'', when {{spoiler|Wikus is carted off to MNU's medical lab.}}
* Parodied in ''[[Hot Shots]]'', after Dead Meat's pflane crashes.
* Parodied in ''[[The Addams Family (TV)|Addams Family Values]]'', when Morticia is in labor.
{{quote| Gomez: [passionately] Are you in unbearable pain, my love? Is it inhuman? My darling, is it torture?<br />
Morticia: [coyly] Oui! }}
* ''[[Monty PythonsPython's theThe Meaning of Life]]'' opens with a POV shot of a woman in labor on a gurney, crashing through about 10 sets of doors.
* Played straight in ''[[Robo CopRoboCop]]'' as the horribly maimed Murphy is rushed into a trauma bay.
* Played straight in a terrifying manner in ''[[Jacobs Ladder|Jacob's Ladder]]''.
* Inverted in ''[[Star Trek IV: theThe Voyage Home (Film)|Star Trek IV the Voyage Home]]''--the gurney bit is when they're trying to get ''out'' of the hospital, without being caught. The "patient" is perfectly fine by this point.
* Done hilariously in ''[[Evolution (Filmfilm)|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!"
 
== Live Action TV ==
Line 31:
* There was an advertisement for some...financial investing company, I believe, that featured a man being rolled on a gurney (camera angle taking the man's point of view). His ailment? He had money coming out the wazoo. "Unless you have this problem," says the ad, "you might want to consider investing with us."
* Used in the ''[[Firefly]]'' episode Ariel.
* A variant of this occurred in the ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'' episode "Prayer," in which Aeryn is wheeled down a corridor on a gurney that doubles as her own torture harness. For good measure, the [[Battleaxe Nurse]] and the Scarran captain are talking animatedly about dissecting her unborn child, while Aeryn is howling at them to get her the frell out of there.
* 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''.
