Line 32:
* [[Rape as Backstory]]: Carin was apparently molested as a child.
* [[Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!]]
* [[Straw Feminist]]: Carin is obviously insecure about being a woman in a male-dominated profession, and refuses Patch's (platonic!) advances for fear of showing weakness and contempt for his carefree attitude. She warms up to him considerably when she sees that his grades are near the top of the class.... {{spoiler|[[Broken Aesop|and ends up getting killed as a result.]]}}▼
* [[Straw Character]]: Most of the faculty. The social issue Patch is facing was not really a revolutionary idea (the term "bedside manner" long predates him entering Med School), but almost all of the people opposing him act as though being apathetic [[Dr. Jerk|Dr Jerks]] is the supreme goal of medicine.

* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: Lots of changes were made. Most notably, the romantic love interest Carin was really a male best friend of Patch Adams.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: "MOST UNORTHODOOOOOOOX!!!"
