** You may cause this on your own on two separate occasions. At Nellis AFB and at Camp Forlorn Hope, you can offer to help the local doctors by treating various patients. With a sufficiently low Medicine skill, you will screw up and kill the patients horribly. (If you're secretly with the Legion, you may want to do this intentionally at Forlorn Hope.)

* A doctor and an orderly come to a ward with patients awaiting treatment. The doctor looks at the first patient's files and says that the latter's left leg should be amputated, so the orderly immediately chops the arm off with an axe. With the next one, it's his right arm, which the orderly chops off as well. With the next one, the doctor says "The right leg. [''Chop''] I said ''leg''. [''Chop''] I said ''right''!"

* ''VideoGame/TwoPointHospital'': While the ''working'' cures are often as silly as the diseases, Holistix is a punching bag for the absolute worthlessness of their holistic and homeopathic cures. If their CEO is angered enough, he will attempt to poison your staff... and fail, because his homeopathic poisons are just as useless.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' Elan is called to heal an injured crewmember of an airship. The process of healing looks like hilarious quackery. Subverted in that Elan is a D&D bard and thus has some actual healing powers, if of lower potency than those of a cleric.

* TheMedic in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' was a licensed doctor... before he did a malpractice [[NoodleIncident in which his patient's skeleton went missing]]. He actually is a stunningly competent and ridiculously effective physician, capable of treating almost any wound and inventing a raygun that heals people. Unfortunately, he's also an extreme MadScientist; he ''could'' use standard methods, but he'd rather start grafting animal parts into the patient's body to see what happens.

Unfortunately, he's also an extreme MadScientist; he ''could'' use standard methods, but he'd rather start grafting animal parts into the patient's body to see what happens. Despite this, some of his treatment methods work anyway: most famously, an incident in the comics where he decided to solve the problem of his companions having all their blood drained by simply pouring the blood back in through their wounds with a bucket. He advised the person who asked about how the blood types could be compatible to try not to think about it.

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'', the party befriends famous GentlemanAdventurer and DoomMagnet Volothamp Geddarm, who believes he's found a way to remove their [[PuppeteerParasite mind flayer parasites]]. He then performs a crude surgery on the PlayerCharacter, jamming a needle and then ''ice pick'' into their brain, removing their eye. He then makes up for it by giving them a magical replacement that gives them TrueSight.

** She also has Ultimate Heal in the fangame ''VideoGame/{{Deltatraveler}}''. It's still bad, and you're better off using either items or [[RedMage Noelle's]] Healing Prayer.

* When ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' gets the Suds, he at first calls Sandy to take him to the doctor, but then he gets scared by Patrick's horror stories about the doctor's office. He asks Patrick to cure him instead, but his "cures" - which include plugging up his pores, putting seanut butter and bread on his foot, pulling out his tooth, jumping on him, putting a very large bandage on him, and even medieval torture - only makes things worse.
