'''Simon:''' "You got the bullet. Okay, I'm just going to pass out for a minute, but you're doing great." }}
* ''[[Lost]]'' "Something Nice Back Home," with a twist. Jack knows he has appendicitis, but won't admit it until Juliet calls him on it, at which point he says his appendix hasn't ruptured yet.
* ''[[Scrubs]]'' played with this by having four older doctors all sharing a hospital room. JD is understandably intimidated, but they very kindly inform him of their condition and what's required. [[With Friends Like These...|Then prank him.]]
** Another episode features the "[[Annoying Patient]]" angle. Not only does the doctor in question diagnose himself, he brings along a lackey who automatically agrees with everything he says to try and legitimize his claims that the Sacred Heart doctors should just sign off on the drugs he's prescribed himself and let him go about his merrily arrogant way.
* Obviously, this happens on ''[[House (TV)|House]]'' quite a bit.
