* '''Reconstructed''': Even if Bob survives he suffers disfiguring and lasting damage both physical and psychological from the experience, including limited anesthesic and sedation options. The outcome is specifically noted as worse than a direct hospital rush but [[GodzillaThreshold noted to be better than the actually available alternative.]]

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Surgery done in non-hospital locations, usually due to urgency.
* '''Straight''': Bob has an emergency medical issue while in a car, and Alice has to perform surgery on him in the car with limited tools.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice, who is completely unqualified, does brain surgery on Bob.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice has some medical training, and the issue Bob is having is fairly minor (such as getting a tooth pulled).
* '''Justified''':
** Alice has some medical qualifications.
** There are no hospitals nearby.
** It was pretty much either this, or Bob dying.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': Alice seems like she is going to do this, but she takes Bob to the hospital instead.
* '''Double Subverted''': However, the hospital is unavailable for whatever reason, so she is forced to do it herself.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Nobody has to do surgery in non-hospital locations.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfDrama

* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': Bob dies (or at the very least gets injured/sick) as a result of this, due to a variety of factors including poor sanitation and lack of medical experience.
