History Series / RoyalPains

* AbsenteeActor: Subverted with Mark Feuerstein, Paulo Costanzo and Reshma Shetty, who appear in all 104 episodes.

* HeroicBSOD: Hank goes into one after being fired and finding he's been black-balled. He sits around his apartment and watches TV. His brother snaps him out of it by pointing out that he should come to the Hamptons because a)he needs cheering up, and b)he's out of booze and his Netflix account was suspended.

* HypocriticalHumor: When Evan finds out Divya's getting married, he starts going on about how awesome weddings are, what with getting to be with someone you love. Divya doesn't meet his eye, so he asks if it's an arranged marriage. Divya protests him applying the stereotype before admitting that yes, it's a ''strategic'' marriage.

* GameOfNerds: In "Lawson Translation" we find out that Jeremiah is a huge fan of baseball owing largely to the fact it was one of the few place his love of statistics intersected with an interest of his father's.

* NotSoDifferent: [[TheRival Dr. Emily Peck]] claimed this to Divya, but a small-scale emergency subverted this.

* ProperlyParanoid: Boris's measures to protect his privacy seem ridiculous, until the third season where it's revealed that [[spoiler: members of his massive ancient noble family have been feuding with each other for centuries, and Boris is now a prime target since he's just had a son who can inherit his fortune and title. Oh, and the mysterious "illness" that's been killing off the men in his family for generations? May not have been an illness at all. Someone's been poisoning him.]]

* TheVonTropeFamily: Boris Kuester '''von''' Jurgens-Ratenicz
* WealthyPhilanthropist: The premiere has the subverted version of a rich family that donates to charity, but in fact uses their money to pull the strings. Hank prioritizes a dying poor man over a rich man who was in stable condition. The rich man has unforeseen complications and dies. The dead man's family turn out to be the hospital's biggest donors and they use this to force the hospital to fire Hank even though medically he did nothing wrong. Since they also donate money to all the major hospitals in New York, Hank is blacklisted from working as a hospital doctor.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: In addition to making house calls for the rich, Hank regularly treats the town's lower class residents at no cost. This is often because these people cannot afford a private doctor under regular circumstances, and because they must dig through a mile of red tape to get treatment at the local hospital
** For bonus points, a smaller-scale version of this resulted in his blacklisting. The kid was in critical condition, while the rich guy was apparently stable. Until he died, Hank had no reason to suspect there'd be complications.

** It's extremely clear watching the earlier seasons that they were setting up Divya and Evan to get together through the use of BelligerentSexualTension. However Evans unexpected chemistry with Paige killed that plots line. However it is brought back up in Season 5 when Paige starts to believe there might be something going on between them, only for Divya to flat out state she never had feelings for Evan above friends.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: The Lawsons, until "Keeping the Faith," when it becomes more or less explicit. They aren't the least bit observant, though. Eddie recommending Evan try a black ham and brie sandwich [[note]] In Jewish cuisine, not only are meat and dairy product supposed to be completely separate, pork products themselves are prohibited[[/note]] do they keep kosher either.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Jill thinks she heard "Es ist nicht ihr," and a translator reads it as "It is not her," but the actual German translation would be "It is not their." Could be a plot point, but even Google agrees with the correct version.

* TheRival: Dr. Emily Peck, Hank's "temporary replacement," is now made into this. And as of "The Hankover", they now have FoeYay. More specifically, they slept together.

** And as of "Mano a Mano," Hank's hospitality extends to people [[spoiler: who could be considered enemies of the state]] in Cuba.

''Royal Pains'' is a summer series airing on Creator/USANetwork about medical genius Hank Lawson (played by Mark Feuerstein) who makes a decision triaging "some kid off the street" and saving him over a billionaire trustee, whom he had declared stable and subsequently died. The resulting legal backlash makes him lose pretty much everything he has, including his fiancée due to the emotional difficulties, and is blacklisted from any medical position even remotely worth his skills.

* AbortedArc: It's extremely clear watching the earlier seasons that they were setting up Divya and Evan to get together through the use of BelligerentSexualTension. However Evans unexpected chemistry with Paige killed that plots line. However it is brought back up in Season 5 when Paige starts to believe there might be something going on between them, only for Divya to flat out state she never had feelings for Evan above friends.

* AbortedArc: It's extremely clear watching the earlier seasons that they were setting up Divya and Evan to get together through the use of BelligerentSexualTension. However Evans unexpected chemistry with Paige killed that plots line.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the pilot, it's clearly possible to see Boris' penis through his wet swimsuit.
** After learning Evan used her share of [=HankMed=] as leverage against Hank, Divya angrily declares that [[ItMakesSenseInContext "[she's] going to shuck Evan"]].
** Walking in on Hank and Jill in her office with some seafood take-out, Charlie said he'd offer Hank some as well, but didn't think "there was enough clams to go around".

* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Eddie and Even have an R as their middle name with several people asking what it stands for. According to Hank it is just an R and doesn't mean anything.

* RedOniBlueOni: The members of [=HankMed=] [[WeHelpTheHelpless go out of their way to those in need]] alongside catering to the rich. Dr. Emily Peck has shown herself to be more concerned with "Hollywood style" medicine while avoiding situations that could get her sued.

* YourCheatingHeart: Divya's sister and husband make their arranged marriage work by sleeping with other people.

* {{Transgender}}: Anna, a teen trans girl in "The Prince of Nucleotides" who's sick due to taking black market estrogen as hormone treatment.

* {{Adorkable}}: Dr. Jeremiah Sacani. How adorkable? He's got a note card to help him remember what to do to [[spoiler: try and flirt with Divya.]]

* DesignatedLoveInterest: Jill Casey.

* PluckyComicRelief: Evan, whose BStory antics get painfully humiliating.

* WeHelpTheHelpless: In addition to making house calls for the rich, Hank regularly treats the town's lower class residents at no cost. This is often because these people cannot afford a private doctor under regular circumstances, and because they must dig through a mile of red tape to get treatment at the local hospital.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite the fact that he's a shallow, off-putting goofball womanizer who never seems to take the right things seriously and who shirks doing anything difficult, Evan is actually a pretty competent and effective accountant, and his efforts are one of the primary reasons why Hankmed is such a successful business.
