* ''DragonballZ'': Only in the anime, Goku is screaming in fear when the doctor is giving him a shot while in the hospital. The second time he goes into panic when he sees a syringe among a pile of medical equipment, much to the embarrassment of his son Gohan, his friend, Krillin, and the annoyance of Vegeta. This happens three more times in ''[[DragonBallGT GT]]''.

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', it is stated that resident ButtMonkey Johnny Sasaki has skipped out on mandatory shots due to his fear of needles. This leaves him with [[spoiler:no nanomachines in his body]], unlike every other soldier out there, and [[spoiler:makes him immune whenever anybody futzes with the nanos.]] Technically {{subverted|Trope}}, as he's never shown being afraid of needles and only mentions it right in the middle of his BigDamnHeroes moment. This also explains the character's trademark chronic diarrhea; [[spoiler:without nanomachines to filter it before it is absorbed into his body, drinking the local water gives his stomach bugs a-plenty]].
* Montley from ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' suffers from this, being afraid to the point that being close to a Lancer and their [[{{BFG}} Lances]] causes him to hyperventilate and lose health.
* In ''Tamagotchi Corner Shop 2'', at the clinic, one of the phrases that Mrs. Frill says is [[spoiler:"I should tell you, I dislike needles."]]
* In ''{{Professor Layton and the Unwound Future}}'', if you go to the hospital later in the game and talk to the girl behind the counter, she teasingly offers to give everyone free flu shots. Cue the young Luke freaking out (though he does stay more composed than some of the examples on this page).
* In ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'', the player must guide a needle into Isaac Clarke's pupil, in order to extract information from his brain. The needle begins to shake as you get closer to Isaac's soft, tender eye.
* Plays a big part in VideoGame/NightmareNed's Medical Nightmare stage.
* ''Videogame/MassEffect3'': [[MadDoctor Mordin]] claims this about [[TheBigGuy Wr]][[ProudWarriorRaceGuy ex]] when he's eager to leave his lab and donate tissue samples later. It may or may not be true, but either way it's hilarious. But when he finally gets around to it...
--> '''Wrex''': Let's just say no scalpel should cut [[GroinAttack where he cut.]]

Minor Injury Overreaction does not match with the words, One Hit Point Wonder does not mean \"character reduced to a single hit point\".

For some reason, the FatalFlaw of many a {{badass}} is fear of hypodermic needles and antiseptics. [[NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight Not knives]], [[{{BFG}} not absurdly large guns]], not even ''[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Snakes!]]'' There's just something deliciously ironic about a {{Big Damn Hero|es}} who routinely gets [[MinorInjuryOverreaction cut up]] with [[{{BFS}} huge knives]], [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat to]] [[OneHitPointWonder within an inch of his life and without giving up]], becoming squirmy and panicky when his [[LoveInterests lady friend]] comes over with a simple syringe and [[AfterActionPatchup sanitary cotton to clean his wounds]]. It seems most any non-battle pain can cripple this dude. It's certainly a "clever" way to bring a BadassLongcoat into a less MartyStu-ish territory, and is a very humanizing flaw to have. In extreme cases, expect fainting -- even if the needle isn't going into ''him!''
