Line 57:
* In the [[Mai Hi ME]] sound dramas, Natsuki comes down with a cold, which Nagi attributes to the shock of having to [[Show Some Leg|expose herself to get a ride]].
* In [[Bakuman｡ (Manga)|Bakuman｡]], Mashiro gets hospitalized from overworking himself, resulting in Detective Trap taking a hiatus.
* In [[Final Approach]] when Ryo gets sick this leads to the heroines realizing the girl they really need to compete with is not each other but his [[Brother
* ''[[Binbou Shimai Monogatari]]'' leaves this one for the finale. It is ''very'' [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerking]] because [[Like You Would Really Do It|unlike if this were done mid-season]], there is a very real possibility that [[Downer Ending|the sick sister actually dies]]. {{spoiler|Thankfully, she doesn't. Cue [[Tears of Joy]].}}
* In ''[[GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class]]'', Namiko stays home with a cold, but most of it is about her friends coping with her absence and reacting to her texts.
Line 79:
* Played straight, averted and played with in ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' where illnesses have been used seriously, mocked, faked and lampshaded.
* The Doctor of ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' spends most of "The Christmas Invasion" unconscious in bed at Rose's house while he recovers from the recent physical trauma of his regeneration, occasionally gasping up wisps of yellow energy. Which apparently inconveniently attracted an alien invasion. It's interesting to note that this is Tennant's ''debut episode'' and he spent most of it unconscious.
** [[The Nth Doctor|Eight]] is put out of action this way in ''The Adventuress of Henrietta Street'' (in the [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe|Eighth Doctor Adventures books]]) for quite a while. Unlike Ten, he's physically incapacitated for about two months and coughs up black bile. ''And'' he has horrible hallucinations, his eyes eventually get black, cloudy stuff on them, and everyone thinks he's going to die. Although his illness rather ruins his own wedding, he doesn't die... no, [[Anti
* ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' did this with one episode where Dorothy had what was eventually diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome. This wasn't done for laughs so much as it was to spread awareness about what was then a very misunderstood condition, but it counts because by the end of the episode she was medicated and feeling better, and the issue was never raised in the series again.
** There's also the episode The Flu, where they all get sick.
