History Film / YoungDoctorsInLove

* BookEnds: The film starts and ends with the New Year.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:After Stephanie Brody dies in the operation room.]] With funeral music and end credits starting to roll. Subverted: [[spoiler: the cable got unplugged.]]

** Dr. August [[JerkAss likes]] telling the patients they are incurable as a joke. Other doctors are not amused.

** The assassin Malmud. Gets mistaken for a patient, and has to undergo all his treatments and operations. Gets [[InstantSedation sedated]] when he objects. Almost an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.

** The patient in the bed being repaired.

** As [=DeVol=] tells other interns about complications of being in love with Julie the prostitute, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQSF3eCZJfc Chamberlain is trying to replace a handset]]. On a wall-mounted telephone about 60 cm above his head.

** After Malmud the assassin smokes inside of an oxygen tent, causing it to explode, a nurse removes "1" from the stand clearly marked: "Safety record. Accident free days."

** Dr.Prang's secretary(?) wears ballet slippers.

* IkeaWeaponry: Malmud the assassin walks into the hospital with a briefcase, hides, dresses like a patient and assembles a rifle disguised as a crutch. Then he walks to Sal Bonafetti's room to shoot him point-blank. Then he falls victim to the general chaos of the hospital.

* TheMafia: Rocco, Angelo and the rest of the Bonafetti family.

* PillowPregnancy: Julie, a prostitute, uses a balloon to [[FakePregnancy fake her pregnancy]] (she was making HeelFaceTurn out of the business), that is, until that {{Jerkass}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqMnsKAuMbc Dr. August pops it]] in a KickTheDog moment. [[DudeNotFunny The other doctors did not approve.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: The patient in the tartan robe who has been wandering the hospital for most of the film. The blind beggar with the seer dog. The group that has been repairing the bed. [[spoiler:They all turn out to be undercover cops.]] And yes, they all have guns.

** Angelo Bonafetti mentions playing a guitar. This comes in handy at the Christmas party and later in the epilogue.

** The assassin. Gets mistaken for a patient and has to undergo all his treatments and operations. Gets [[InstantSedation sedated]] when he objects. Almost an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.

** A plant "for glaucoma patients only".

** Brody dances with children who have phrases like "orphan", "underprivileged kid", "broken home", "incorrigible", "welfare recipient", "father is a disk jock" written on their sweatshirts.

** After the assassin smokes inside of an oxygen tent, causing it to explode, a nurse removes "1" from the stand clearly marked: "Safety record. Accident free days."

* HiddenPurposeTest: The [[{{Squick}} urine tasting scene]]... sort of. Starts as a re-enactment of an old joke where a teacher (Ludwig) teaches interns to not be squeamish: he puts his finger in the urine sample, licks it and tells its composition. The lesson is they should have noticed he licked another finger. Immediately it gets [[OffTheRails derailed]] by Burns, who [[spoiler:vocally insists that he has quit drinking]], and August, who [[spoiler:pulls the same trick as Ludwig, but persuades Ludwig to taste the urine for real.]]

* IkeaWeaponry: The assassin walks into the hospital with a briefcase, hides, dresses like a patient and assembles a rifle disguised as a crutch. Then he walks to Sal Bonafetti's room to shoot him point-blank. Then he falls victim to the general chaos of the hospital.
* InstantSedation: How Sprockett and her nurses deal with the assassin they mistake for the patient. They are trained medical workers, they use syringes for intramuscular injection (in the buttocks), the victim doesn't fall asleep -- just becomes docile; otherwise played straight. Oh, and they don't bother with disinfectant.

* PillowPregnancy: Julie, a prostitute, uses a balloon to [[FakePregnancy fake her pregnancy]] (she was making HeelFaceTurn out of the business), that is, until that {{Jerkass}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqMnsKAuMbc Dr. August pops it]] in a KickTheDog moment. The other doctors do not approve.

* RuleOfFunny: The events that won't survive FridgeLogic are too many to list. Some are justified by the chaos in the hospital, but only to a degree. Rival family finding Bonafetti the moment they arrive to the hospital. Sending only one assassin. The way Bonafetti "found" an empty room and notified the hospital workers. Nose-toe transplantation and its consequences. An assassin being subjected to a year of operations meant for another man. And the whole business of selling tickets to operating theatre.
* RulesLawyer: Interns arrive for a tour of the hospital late in the evening on Sunday. But nurse Sprockett forces them to work, since it's already after midnight and Monday.

* SirSwearsALot / ClusterFBomb: Angelo Bonafetti says words derived from "fuck" in every sentence. At least in the beginning. In his opening lines he asks for "fucking coffee". Occasionally he has to explain that "a fucking guitar" is not some unusual instrument.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Those patients kicked out by the Bonafetti family. Hopefully, they end up in a better hospital.
