'''Spoilers Ahoy!'''

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* In the Mexican soap opera ''[[En Nombre Del Amor]]'', Carlota the head villainess pretends to be paralyzed in order to not go to prison after trying to murder her niece Paloma. Doctors cannot figure out what is wrong with her. The audience may even be fooled. Carlota tries to bribe a nurse in order to get assistance in leaving the hospital- but the nurse refuses. Carlota then hits the nurse with a bottle and steals her scrubs and mask, then places the unconscious nurse on the bed and flees the hospital without incident.

* In ''[[So Little Time]]'', Riley goes to school in a wheelchair to get the attention of a paraplegic whom she has a crush on.

 

 

** So much so that for most of her life, her parents believed she would never master Earthbending... While she was secretly the all-time champion of the Earth Kingdom analogue to [[Pro Wrestling]].

* In ''[[King of the Hill]]'', Bill was told by a doctor that he had diabetes that would take his legs away within a year, so in order to prepare, he started making all his movements in a wheelchair and seems to have forgotten he could actually still use his legs until he was drunk in a bar and stood up, shocking and majorly pissing off the wheelchaired basketball players he had befriended.
