* This is Jack and Kate's first interaction in ''Series/{{Lost}}''.

** In "League of Assassins," after Oliver and the Canary's battle against three Assassins, Oliver performs some stitching on her back. It is used not as a romantic moment, but more to show how she TookALevelInBadass since Oliver knew her in their pre-hero days. Felicity points out that she's not even flinching.

** In "Time of Death", Felicity gets shot and insists on being patched up at the Arrowcave like the others instead of being taken to the hospital. As she's nowhere near as badass as them, Diggle slips her some painkillers under the guise of aspirin.

** [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-07-17 After Seymour hammered his finger]], for an unusual reason: to showcase CharacterDevelopment. (Compare [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-03-19 this]] to get the joke.)

* In ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'', after they escape the wraiths and protect themselves by candlelight, [[http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00196.html he gets his wounds bound]].

** Fuschia cleans off Crimney's [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-09-28 injuries]], giving him a chance to tell her YouAreWorthHell.

* In ''Webcomic/BlueYonder'', Lena [[http://www.blueyondercomic.net/comics/1387083/blue-yonder-chapter-1-page-44/ treats Kevin's injuries]].
-->'''Kevin''': ''Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow''

* In the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' episode "League of Assassins," after Oliver and the Canary's battle against three Assassins, Oliver performs some stitching on her back. It is used not as a romantic moment, but more to show how she TookALevelInBadass since Oliver knew her in their pre-hero days. Felicity points out that she's not even flinching.

* ''The Bronze Horseman'' by Paullina Simons. Tatiana and Alexander share their FirstKiss after he rescues her from the rubble of a bombed-out train station and spends the night treating her injuries.

* In the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' episode "League of Assassins," after Oliver and the Canary's battle against three Assassins, Oliver performs some stitching on her back. It is used not as a romantic moment, but more to show how tough the Canary is, and Felicity points out that she's not even flinching.

* Jemma Simmons, resident biochemist on ''Series/{{Agents Of SHIELD}}'', handles these despite it not being what she's paid for. Early on, if a specialist (almost always Ward) had been beaten, shot, stabbed, or otherwise inconvenienced, Simmons would have something to say about it. The comments are usually sweet, but frequently sarcastic.
* Edwin Jarvis cleaned the wound for Peggy Carter in ''Series/AgentCarter'' when she got injured after a particularly nasty mission. Unusual is that this scene surprisingly lacks any kind of sexual tension and fanservice.
* [[HospitalHottie Claire Temple]] functions as the medic for the protagonists of the Netflix shows, including Matt Murdock in ''Series/Daredevil2015'' and Luke Cage in ''Series/LukeCage2016''. She also treats Luke in ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' after Jessica shoots him with a shotgun to break Kilgrave's control over him.
** It seems that the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]] TV audience has a penchant for a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] medic patching up the heroes, as Jarvis and Claire are FanPreferredCouple for their respective heroes.
* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Besides the Claire examples, Foggy gets to do this to Matt after he gets shot in the head and sustains a major concussion.
* ''Series/IronFist2017'': Claire Temple patches up Danny Rand after he's injured escaped from Bakuto's compound. She also patches up a doctor that the Hand had kidnapped. In a non-Claire example, Colleen Wing stitches up a cut on Danny's left arm that he sustained in a duel against several Hand assassins, [[IntimateHealing which culminates in them having sex]].

Regardless of how she feels about him, she may inform him that [[AngerBornOfWorry it was really stupid]] to [[FearlessFool get into trouble]] in the first place, which [[{{Tsundere}} may or may not be followed]] by an acknowledgement of his courage, or even the SmoochOfVictory. Criticism is less likely if it was on her behalf, where appropriate gratitude may be expressed. She may, however, deny that his intervention was needed; that sometimes is true.

** Humorously, Speedwagon also rushes to Jonathan's aid, but finds that Erina actually beat him to it. He suddenly becomes cognizant that this trope is in play, and [[MemeticMutation withdraws coolly]] to leave the two lovebirds alone.

** In "Kung Fu Crabtree", after they fight off a trio of black-clad ninjas, Crabtree notices Wu Chang (the man he was supposed to be arresting) has a deep cut on his arm and takes him to see Dr. Grace for treatment. While there, Crabtree and Dr. Grace get to know Mr. Wu a bit better, including that fact that he isn't one of the Boxers (of the recently ended [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_Rebellion Boxer Rebellion]]) as a Chinese detective claimed.

* Zig-zagged in ''Webcomic/DaughterOfTheLilies'' when Thistle treats Brent's bite wound. It's [[http://www.daughterofthelilies.com/dotl/210 tense]] at first, since Brent is angry at having taken an injury that can't be immediately {{Heal|ingHands}}ed and Thistle is badly shaken by the whole encounter, but it leads them to open up to each other a lot more [[http://www.daughterofthelilies.com/dotl/725 while she's checking his recovery]] later.

* ''Film/BabylonAD''. Mercenary Toorop winces as the woman he's [[LiveActionEscortMission escorting across the border]] patches him up, and they give each other over it. Rather than played for UnresolvedSexualTension (that comes later) it's used to show how the characters are loosening up from their previous antagonism.

* In ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', the Beast saves Belle from a wolf pack when she tried to flee the castle. Belle takes him back to the castle to treat his wounds. He still acts like a hothead and refuses to cooperate, until Belle actually thanks him for saving her life.

* In ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', Rapunzel treats Flynn's hand with her hair, after they escape drowning.

* In ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', after getting an arrow stuck in him [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight after refusing to follow an order to burn an innocent family's house down with them in it]], Phoebus is escorted back to the Cathedral and has the wound treated by Esmerelda. This is where the LoveTriangle between them and [[TheHero Quasimodo]] starts to show up.

-->-- ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''

* In ''Comicbook/ThePunisherMAX'' #53, Frank is tied to a chair and ForcedToWatch the insane mercenary Barracuda threaten his newfound daughter. The next issue [[GilliganCut cuts to]] Punisher in the hospital in a full-body cast trying to piece together what he did during his UnstoppableRage from his injuries (and the [[ManBitesMan pieces of Barracuda's face stuck in his teeth]])

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Fuschia cleans off Crimney's [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-09-28 injuries]], giving him a chance to tell her YouAreWorthHell.

* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'',

* In Creator/AndreNorton's ''A Brother To Shadows'', once inside after the assassination attempt, Zulzan insists Jofre take off his shirt and then treats the burn he suffered.

** In ''Literature/StormOverWarlock'', Thorvald treats Shann's injuries in the cave and after the forktail, and when arriving as TheCavalry, cuts Shann free and checks, fearing the worst after the Throg threat of ColdBloodedTorture. This is the clearest demonstration of {{FireForgedFriends}}ship until Shann's FieldPromotion.

* In Creator/PatriciaAMcKillip's ''Literature/TheRiddleMasterOfHed'', Astrin is attacked and wounded by a strange man on the plain. The voiceless Morgan patches him up. Used for {{Foreshadowing}}, and to make them justly paranoid
* In Creator/AndreNorton's ''Literature/DreadCompanion'', Kilda for Kosgro, in the notus grove. She even finds [[HealingHerb the notus helps with the inflammation.]]
* In Creator/AndreNorton's ''Literature/IceCrown'', after Nelis has been rescued, his men start a false trail to draw TheChase because of his injuries. Roane uses her medikit to patch him up.

* In Creator/AndreNorton's ''Literature/{{Catseye|1961}}'', Kyger patches up Troy's arm after the attempted burglary, and talks of it. Troy tells him he knows of a novice in the Thieves' Guild who had acted suspiciously earlier.
* In Creator/AndreNorton's ''Literature/StormOverWarlock'', Thorvald treats Shann's injuries in the cave and after the forktail, and when arriving as TheCavalry, cuts Shann free and checks, fearing the worst after the Throg threat of ColdBloodedTorture. This is the clearest demonstration of {{FireForgedFriends}}ship until Shann's FieldPromotion.

''[presses cloth to wound; the [[BandageWince Beast growls in pain]]]''\\

** Buffy and Angel's FirstKiss is preceded by her bandaging Angel's shoulder ("Angel"). Similarly, an ice rink skirmish is followed by Buffy tending to Angel's bleeding, [[GameFace bumpy]] forehead ("What's My Line?, Pt. 2").

** And yet again, in "Ted" Buffy redresses Angel's hands from his wounds sustained in the episode before. She's babbling on about what's happening in her life before it turns into a sweet moment between the two of them.
** In "Helpless" when Buffy discovers that Giles injected her with a drug that removes her superpowers on the orders of the Watcher's Council, she threatens to kill him if he ever touches her again. At the end of the episode, after Giles is fired by the Council for his [[BeingPersonalIsntProfessional "fatherly love" toward Buffy]], she allows him to clean her forehead where she's bleeding.
** In "Never Leave Me", Buffy cleans the blood off Spike after kicking her vampire boyfriend in the face, then chaining him in the basement. This seemed [[DestructiveRomance rather symbolic of their relationship at the time]].

Regardless of how she feels about him, she may inform him that [[FearLeadsToAnger it was really stupid]] to [[FearlessFool get into trouble]] in the first place, which [[{{Tsundere}} may or may not be followed]] by an acknowledgement of his courage, or even the SmoochOfVictory. Criticism is less likely if it was on her behalf, where appropriate gratitude may be expressed. She may, however, deny that his intervention was needed; that sometimes is true.
