Line 35:
* An episode of ''[[Peak Practice]]'' has a homeless diabetic who everyone assumes is the mother of an abandoned child. At one point she gets all her insulin supplies destroyed by a group of yobs.
* Potential inversion twice in ''[[Cardiac Arrest]]'' reminding us that insulin is actually a very dangerous chemical. First when someone injects themselves with an overdose as a suicide and second when a deranged diabetic injects a doctor with his own insulin. {{spoiler|The series ends with the doctor, who is the main character, being carried into the operating theater after preliminary treatment on a couch.}}
* The wonderful episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' where Elaine tests positive for opium as a result of eating too many poppy-seed bagels. [[Two Lines, No Waiting|Meanwhile]], the showerheads in Jerry and Kramer's building have been changed to a low-pressure model, and they're so desperate for a decent wash ("[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|I feel like I have little bugs crawling all over me!]]") that they end up furtively buying new ones from a shady guy with a van.
** [[Hilarity Ensues|And Kramer buys the one designed for]] ''[[Hilarity Ensues|elephants]]''.
** Another ''Seinfeld'' is entitled "The Sniffing Accountant", and you can probably guess that one from the title. (It turns out to be an allergy to mohair... until it turns out it actually is drugs).
