* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The insurance adjuster assumes Hank's insistence that he wants to get back to work as soon as possible and that he takes pride in doing a good job as him playing it up so he can get money. This isn't simply a matter of her being cynical either, as she's a SmugSnake who is borderline gleeful at the chance to drag him before a jury panel for insurance fraud.

* BatmanGambit: At the hearing, Hank is accused of InsuranceFraud because he was seen walking normally, and the jury panel couldn't believe that a seemingly ordinary American like him would take yoga lessons, so he brings in Yogi Victor as a character witness. When Hank is told Victor's antics are not helping him, Hank says that's what he's trying to prove: that no sane level-headed American would willingly accept the help of someone like that unless they were in unbearable pain, and were extremely desperate, due to not having access to more conventinal medical treatment. With his testimony, and the actions of Victor, Hank is declared not guilty of wrongdoing, and offered more worker's comp until he fully recovers.
