Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': Once a disease is diagnosed, the symptoms get much worse.
* '''Straight''': Alice seems a bit out of sorts and has a cough. When [[TheMedic Bob]] diagnoses her with pneumonia, however, she immediately becomes bedridden and becomes very short of breath.
* '''Exaggerated''': Apart from her cough, Alice seems perfectly fine and full of energy. However, when Bob determines that it's pneumonia, she instantly dies.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Alice is already bedridden and short of breath, but after Bob diagnoses her with pneumonia, she starts having chest pain as well.
** Alice seems to be okay except for having sneezing fits. When Bob determines that she has a cold, however, she becomes sleepy and develops a cough.
* '''Justified''':
** It's partially psychosomatic.
** Bob just happened to diagnose Alice right when the disease was coincidentally getting worse.
* '''Inverted''': Alice is bedridden with coughing fits, chest pain, and shortness of breath. When Bob diagnoses her with pneumonia, she becomes a bit more active and her chest pain ends.
* '''Subverted''': For the next day or so after Bob diagnoses Alice with pneumonia, she becomes lethargic and short of breath, but the next day, her symptoms return to normal.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...For about an hour.
* '''Parodied''':
* '''Zigzagged''': Alice's symptoms fluctuate after she's diagnosed.
* '''Averted''': Alice either doesn't get sick, or her symptoms remain consistent.
* '''Enforced''': "We need to have Alice's symptoms be serious for dramatic effect, but if she has all the symptoms from the get-go, then [[CaptainObviousReveal the audience will figure out she has pneumonia before the reveal]]. Better wait 'til she's diagnosed."
* '''Lampshaded''': "Whoa, being told she had pneumonia really hit Alice! I've heard of the power of suggestion, but this is ridiculous!"
* '''Invoked''': Bob is a MadDoctor who deliberately diagnoses patients just as they're about to take a turn for the worse.
* '''Exploited''':
* '''Defied''':
* '''Discussed''': "When my girlfriend got pneumonia, she seemed to take a turn for the worse right after her diagnosis."
* '''Conversed''': "Alice got worse right as she was diagnosed?! These soap operas are so unrealistic!"
* '''Implied''':
* '''Deconstructed''':
* '''Reconstructed''':
* '''Played for Laughs''': Alice looks normal, but when Bob says, "You have chickenpox," lesions poof onto her body.
* '''Played for Drama''': After Alice's is diagnosed, everyone has to rush to treat her before she dies.
* '''Played for Horror''': Alice seems fine, except for mood swings. When Bob diagnoses her with lycanthropy, she immediately turns into a werewolf.
