* AnnoyingPatient: The Colonel is perhaps the best example of this trope in the ''Film/CarryOn'' series. He has Mick, the orderly, place bets for him on a regular basis, and makes incessant minor requests of the nurses, preventing them from properly carrying out their duties in the wards. When he sticks a "learning driver" L sticker to Nurse Dawson's backside, the nursing staff decide to get revenge with a ThermometerGag.

* TheChainOfHarm: Downplayed; after Oliver Reckitt publicly calls the Matron out on how the rule against men laying atop of their bedsheets is not an official ruling, but merely her personal dictation, Matron storms off in a huff. Resentful over being shown up and her authority challenged in front of the ward, she chews out the Sister, demanding that she have all the beds remade. The Sister then chews out Nurse Denton in the same way, passing on the order to her. Nurse Denton then chews out Nurse Dawson, who, in turn, angrily shoves her sandwich in the mouth of Mick the porter when he comes into range.
