Line 4:
Not a cheap plot in and of itself, it does however have to be used in moderation, otherwise things become preposterous. The worst offenders are ''[[ER]]'' (which had Mark's tumor, Carter and Lucy being stabbed, Jing-Mei and Pratt's car crash, Romano's arm being chopped off, Frank's heart attack, a swath of births and much more) and ''[[The Practice]]'', which by the end had the characters involved in so many personal court battles that you had to wonder how the firm made any money.
See also [[Who Watches the Watchmen?]], [[Internal Affairs]]. Not related to [[One of Us]].
{{examples
* Happened to the paramedics of ''[[Third Watch]]'' quite a bit. Bobby was ''shot'' (and killed), Carlos was frequently in hospital for various amusing minor injuries (and one not-so-amusing major disease), Alex was killed in an explosion, and in the [[Pilot Episode]] Jerry was shot and had to retire.
** The [[New York City Cops|police characters]] were not much better off. Both Bosco and Faith spent long periods of time in hospital.
