* [[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hemophilia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373327 Hemophilia]] is a disorder that interferes with the clotting of blood, meaning if a hemophiliac gets a cut, [[WoundThatWillNotHeal it will continue bleeding well past the point where a normal injury would have scabbed over]]. Bleeding to death from a literal scratch isn't actually the primary danger from this condition -- a bigger problem is internal bleeding, particularly into the brain, caused by minor bumps that wouldn't cause any problems in a person without hemophilia.

This is often due to factors such as poison or disease: a superficial scratch or cut by itself poses little threat to a healthy adult human, but if that scratch was made by a [[PoisonedWeapons poisoned dagger]], or a [[PoisonousPerson venomous fang or stinger]], or that cut isn't properly treated and becomes infected or gangrenous, suddenly it becomes a lot more of a problem. (And God help you if that scratch or cut came from a PlagueZombie or some other carrier of TheVirus.)

An untreated injury may also leave a TrailOfBlood that ruins a character's ability to hide or otherwise attracts some dangerous creature. This trope isn't limited to flesh-and-blood characters, either: a seemingly-trivial hit to a HumongousMecha or CoolShip could cause just enough damage to start interfering with important systems, ultimately leading to [[DisasterDominoes a chain reaction that dooms the entire machine]].

* Khal Drogo in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' suffers much the same fate as his book counterpart -- receiving a shallow cut on the chest that becomes infected, leaving him at death's door, and then being rendered catatonic when the healing ritual is intentionally botched. In this case, however, the chest wound is received not during battle, but during a challenge from one of his own men, and wouldn't have happened at all if Drogo hadn't ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard cut his own chest with the challenger's knife]]'' in order to make a point about how outclassed the guy was. If Drogo hadn't decided to show off, the plot of the show would have turned out very differently.
