When a character is in the hospital as a patient, it’s often wise to listen to Doctors’ Order, even if it’s a badass. Of course, some don’t want to stay, and this is what this trope applies. It could happen if the character just out of a coma, the surgery wasn’t done yet, or scared to be there. Despite efforts from the doctors and/or love-ones, the character is opts to leave without getting cleared. The point is... this character doesn't want to stay, regardless of the health effects.
Sometimes characters end up in the hospital. The sane thing to do when you're a patient in listen to your doctor's orders, no matter how [[badass]] you might be... but, for whatever reason, some characters just check themselves out early. They might have a mission to complete, they might feel just fine, they might simply hate hospitals. Going through the formal release process is optional. Going through the surgery that the character was checked into the hospital for is also optional.

No matter what the effects might be on the character's health, he just doesn't want to stay.
