Ruptured Appendix: Difference between revisions

(→‎Live Action TV: added example)
Line 42:
* ''[[CSI]]'' had a variation of this, the serial killer Dr.Jekyll, who implanted a guy with a diseased appendix. Naturally, it killed the guy later.
* In Australian children's TV series ''[[The Saddle Club]]'', Lisa (one of the three central characters) is alone on horseback when she's overcome by the pain of Appendicitis and collapses on the trail.
* Shawn suffers this in an episode of ''[[Psych]]'' and is initially distraught at the idea of permanent impairment till his pharmaceutical salesman partner points out modern medicine isn't sure the appendix even does ''anything'' for the human body. The main extent is that Shawn's partner has to comedically wave around a tablet during the investigation so the hospitalized [[Hyper Awareness|fake psychic]] detective can join him via [[Product Placement|a specifically named video phone service]].
