----

=== This film contains examples of: ===

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]

* [[Rape As Backstory]]: Carin was apparently molested as a child.

* [[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.]]}}

* [[Strawman Political]]: 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.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: "MOST UNORTHODOOOOOOOX!!!"
