Line 22:
More realistic settings will strap you to a chair instead. Speaking of reality, remember, the invention of surgery long preceded the existence of anesthetics, so... you needed those straps. Hold still.

Line 32:
* Integra Hellsing from ''[[Hellsing]]'' is trapped by [[Big Bad]] Incognito on a cross-shaped table in the last episode of the Gonzo anime series.
* ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' features a less villainous version of this: Stellar is bound to the operating table by her captors, but that's largely due to the fact that she's a chemotherapy-altered biological weapon engineered by her masters; not only is she dying from not being administered the highly-illegal chemicals that are keeping her alive, she's fighting tooth and nail to kill the doctors - technically her enemy - who are trying futilely to save her.
* ''[[Gundam Wing]]'': In Episode 2, Heero Yuy is strapped down after being captured. His response? He lowers his own pulse to make it seem like he's still unconscious and almost manages to break through his bonds, leaving a bloody mess. (Keep in mind, he's 15...)<br /><br />What's confusing is the fact that he's lying there for God-knows-how-long with an open bullet wound that's bleeding out, meaning the medics actively had to remove the bandage [[Lonely Rich Kid|Relena]] [[Clothing Damage|made from a scrap of her party dress]]. When Relena visits later, she even [[What the Hell, Hero?|demands to know why he's tied down like that]]; [[The Medic|Sally Po]] says they're trying to keep him from hurting himself further.
* Eve from ''[[Black Cat (Manga)|Black Cat]]''.
* Vivio of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', after being recaptured by the [[Big Bad]]. Agito as well, although ironically she's ''saved'' by the [[Big Bad]]. Well, his minions, anyway.
Line 84:
** Then [[It Gets Worse]].
* In ''[[Maximum Ride]]'', {{spoiler|when the School captures them, Max and her flock are strapped to tilted tables.}}
* In ''[[The Cobra Trilogy|Cobra]]'' by [[Timothy Zahn]], protagonist Jonny Moreau is strapped to one when he's captured by the Troft (invading aliens), and expects to be vivisected (live-dissected); however, as a Cobra [[One
* Count Olaf and [[Mooks]] briefly capture [[A Series of Unfortunate Events|Violet Baudelaire]] this way in Book the Seventh.
* In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''Farnham's Freehold'', {{spoiler|Hugh Farnham and his son, Duke}} are strapped to an operating table where {{spoiler|they're about to castrate both of them}} until Ponce decides not to have them do this. Later, {{spoiler|hey actually end up doing this to Duke}}.
Line 177:
* In [[The Force Unleashed]] this is where Starkiller wakes up six months after being [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|stabbed, beaten]] and [[Thrown Out the Airlock|spaced.]]
* [[Blaz Blue|Relius Clover]]'s Astral Finish had his opponent in this condition. In a way, this varies between characters, such as Arakune's 'Operating Table' being a big flask. Regardless, knowing [[Mad Scientist|what kind]] [[Torture Technician|of person]] [[Complete Monster|Relius is]], rather than showing what happens to the character, [[Gory Discretion Shot|the door closes in and a scream is heard]].
* In ''[[Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten]]'' all of the generic classes have introductory cutscenes which play when you create a new one to add to your team. The [[Infinity
* The intro of ''[[Jak II Renegade]]'' shows Jak strapped to an operating table while undergoing [[Psycho Serum|Dark Eco]] experiments at the hands of [[Evil Overlord|Baron Praxis]]. He manages to break himself free apropos of his first transformation into [[Super
* Look closely at the operating table in [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Meet the Medic]]. The table has restraints, but they aren’t being used. It’s only natural to assume some of Medic’s patients were... troublesome.
