Line 8:
=== This show contains examples of: ===
* [[The Ace]]: Kelly in season 3. A [[Chick Magnet]], a very good nurse even to the point where Akalitus compliments him, athletic, goes jogging [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless.]] {{spoiler|Later becomes a [[Broken Ace]] when its realeved he takes painkillers.}}
* [[A Friend in Need]]: O'Hara exemplifies this. Even though in later seasons, she has more than enough reason to avoid Jackie because of her unpredictable behavior as an addict.▼
* [[All Abusers Are Male]]: Averted, one patient is a man whose girlfriend managed to crack his skull out of anger. He hit her back in defence but she only suffered some bruises.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Jackie and Coop in season 1, but only on his side. Jackie was manipulating his feelings to convince him that she hit her finger to see him, rather then disguise the fact that she's married.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Camp Gay]]: Thor and Momo (Mohammed). [[Crowning Moment of Funny|It takes Zoey a while to realize this.]]
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Jackie takes tap dancing lessons with her daughter early in the series, and later uses it to keep an inebriated Sam awake.
* [[Dueling Shows]]: With ''[[Hawthorne]]'', to some degree, although that one isn't half as provocative.▼
* [[Dr. Feelgood]]: a very rare sympathetic example
* [[Dr. Jerk]]: Coop, in his worse moments.
▲* [[Dueling Shows]]: With ''[[Hawthorne]]'', to some degree, although that one isn't half as provocative.
* [[Expy]]: Zoey is an expy of Alice Chantrey from ''[[Casualty]]''.
▲* [[A Friend in Need]]: O'Hara exemplifies this. Even though in later seasons, she has more than enough reason to avoid Jackie because of her unpredictable behavior as an addict.
* [[Friendly Rival]]: Coop considered he was one with O'Hara as she's the only other doctor on the floor. It's made the plot point of a season 3 episode.
* [[Friends with Benefits]]: In season 1 Eddie to Jackie, although the former initially desired an emotional relationship
Line 35:
* [[Karmic Jackpot]]: Arguably Jackie. She saves lives, is considered a good person by most of her co-workers, and as a result is able to hide her secrets almost flawlessly.
* [[Married to the Job]]: Akalitus. She even says the phrase verbatim when talking to a Nun on the phone.
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: Jackie, who's considered a good nurse and mother, but who's actions potentially harm that reputation.▼
* [[MD Envy]]: Inverted, most of the nurses and paramedics are happy in their jobs but Coop often feels the need to gloat that he is a doctor, especially over Sam, the only recurring nurse who is both straight and male. Barring Kelly, but Kelly is [[The Ace]] so gets a pass from Coop.
▲* [[Moral Dissonance]]: Jackie, who's considered a good nurse and mother, but who's actions potentially harm that reputation.
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Zoey, and to a lesser extent Coop.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Are you seriously going to threaten someone who's friends with a guy named ''Thor''?
Line 45:
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: Arguably Jackie, depending on what you think is most important for her (Drugs or other obligations?). Definitely Coop and Zoey, at times.
* [[Talkative Loon]]: God.
* [[Token Minority]]: In season one, Momo who leaves. In season two Sam. In season three, Kelly an African American temp nurse joins Sam.▼
* [[Tourettes Syndrome]]: Coop. His tic acts up when he's stressed or nervous, and he grabs women's breasts. It gets him into trouble sometimes.
* [[The Unfair Sex]]: Coop and Jackie's disagreement on domestic violence vs. self defense.
▲* [[Token Minority]]: In season one, Momo who leaves. In season two Sam. In season three, Kelly an African American temp nurse joins Sam.
