Basic Trope: Someone suffers pain while getting their injuries fixed/cleansed.
- Straight: Danny is injured in a fight, and his friend Claire starts putting antiseptic and a bandage over the wound. Danny is notably in pain during this, and starts wincing.
- Exaggerated: Danny delves into Unstoppable Rage territory and starts attacking Claire for helping him.
- Downplayed: Danny briefly flinches while getting his injuries fixed.
- Justified:
- Antiseptic can sting when it's first applied, and the bandage is touching the injured area.
- In more serious cases such as the "exaggerated" example, Danny is so seriously injured that he's in shock and believes that Claire is trying to hurt him.
- Inverted: The process of fixing/cleansing the injuries actually feels good.
- Subverted: Claire tells Danny that the process of fixing his injuries will probably sting a little, but he doesn't seem to be in any pain at all when his injuries are actually being fixed.
- Double Subverted: That was because he was still in some sort of shock - Claire goes on to fix another injury he sustained during the fight, and he is seen in pain.
- Parodied: Claire does this because she saw Danny step on a Lego brick.
- Zig-Zagged: Sometimes Danny seems to be in pain while his injuries are being tended to, but sometimes he isn't.
- Averted:
- Nobody gets injured.
- Danny has his injuries fixed, but he doesn't react in any sort of pain at all.
- Enforced: To add some minor conflict to the scene after Danny gets in a fight.
- Lampshaded: "Yeah, it really does sting a little."
- Invoked: Claire tries to make it hurt more, because she specifically told Danny not to get in that fight.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied:
- Claire takes Danny to a medical professional who will treat him in a way that doesn't hurt.
- Claire gives Danny some sort of painkillers before treating him.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: Danny seems to be involuntarily flinching while Claire is treating him, but if it's because he's in pain or something else entirely is not specified.
