-->-- ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''

Jack suffered some minor injuries. All he needs is to have the scrapes and cuts cleaned and bandaged -- maybe some antiseptic, or a few stitches, or a bandage. Fortunately, danger is no longer looming, and here comes Jill to do it; she is usually not TheMedic (though she can be), the injuries not being severe enough to require professional attention.

Like PostVictoryCollapse, if TheCavalryArrivesLate, this can keep Jack out of the way while they clean up all the loose ends.

Unlike the AfterActionHealingDrama (for serious wounds), it is [[ActionFilmQuietDramaScene a quiet moment]] after the battle or TheChase or whatever way he had suffered the injuries. Therefore, even though he is not suffering PostVictoryCollapse, he will often react more strongly to the pain than during the thick of things -- with the humanizing effect of AfraidOfNeedles. In the antiseptic variation, using iodine will get a particularly strong reaction.

Jill often has to tell him to hold still when she treats the injuries -- often with a warning, in advance, that it will hurt. If she doesn't sympathize with him -- either in general or because she disapproves of how he got injured -- she may briskly inform him not to be a baby. She may try to soothe him if she does feel sympathetic, particularly if they are still in enemy territory, and he needs to keep quiet. Expect a BandageWince or two.

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.

It also affords time for a tender moment after an action-packed scene (not to mention a ShirtlessScene), or merely for people to talk about discoveries made during the heat of battle. The first is usually a [[AlwaysMale man]] getting patched up by a [[AlwaysFemale woman]]; it often advances the FlorenceNightingaleEffect, but seldom goes all the way from nothing to love because it's only one scene. If not, or if there is no UnresolvedSexualTension, it's commonly used for exposition, since they can talk. Or, of course, both, particularly if this gives a chance for the ScarSurvey. It can also be a PetTheDog moment to show one character cares what happens to the other -- especially convenient for TheStoic since it does not require him to evince any emotion.

When there is no one around to help, SelfSurgery may come into play. It tends to be far less pleasant. If she doesn't have a bandage handy, the subtrope FromDressToDressing applies.

Contrast MinorInjuryOverreaction.

!!Examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Casca does this with Guts three times, each at a different stage in their relationship: first [[TeethClenchedTeamwork when they are barely friends]], second [[FireForgedFriends when they reconcile and become friends]], and third [[RelationshipUpgrade when they become lovers.]]
* ''Manga/ABridesStory'': Amir tends to Azel's wounds at the end of chapter 35, which concludes an ''invasion''.
* ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'': This is played around with a ''lot''.
** Ed has been known to wind up in very large fights which almost inevitably result in his arm getting destroyed. Winry is ''never'' happy with this, as she repeatedly tells him to stop getting into trouble and breaking the thing she worked so hard on. She even beats up Ed any time his arm gets broken.
** Ed has also been known invert this trope as he also goes to the hospital for the fights he gets into, which is reasonable enough since he often engages with immortal monsters.
---> '''Envy (carrying an unconscious Ed):''' His life's not in any danger, but you might want to get him to a hospital as soon as you can.
** May acts as a medic since alkehestry is specialized for medical use. After meeting Scar for the first time, she notices a large cut on his leg and immediately heals it.
*** She also does this for Hawkeye after [[spoiler:she gets her throat slit]].
** A rather creepy example with [[spoiler:Father]]. Ed and Ling return from Gluttony's stomach not long after getting into a fight with Envy which resulted in quite a few injuries. [[spoiler:Father]] immediately gets to work healing Ed's broken arm and ribs and even makes Al a new hand since Gluttony swallowed it. However, this is all [[spoiler:because the brothers are sacrifice candidates and Father needs them healthy]], meaning Ling is exempt from this treatment.
* ''Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics'' has [[Literature/SnowWhiteAndRoseRed Rose Red]] finding a PrincelyYoungMan unconscious, watching over him until he wakes up, and then patching up his leg. [[spoiler: He is the Bear Prince's younger brother, and they marry in the end.]]
* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''. A [[LoveEpiphany significant change]] in the relationship between Hilshire and his cyborg Triela happens after she [[WeHaveToGetTheBulletOut removes a bullet from his chest]] after Hilshire is wounded carrying out an assassination mission he was supposed to assign to Triela.
* In ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', this happens a lot between Kagome and the titular character. One episode has his brother stick his arm straight through his chest. Kagome tries to patch him up the next day only to find that the wound has healed due to Inuyasha being half-demon. She still has to wrestle him to get his shirt off though, leading to NotWhatItLooksLike.
* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'':
** This is how Jonathan reunites with his childhood sweetheart, Erina, after his first battle with Dio in the Joestar Manor.
** 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 ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'', After thanking Godai for saving the day by returning her bikini top to her earlier in the day (which Godai had thought he had accomplished anonymously), Kyoko treats Godai's arms, which he scraped in the process of trying to remain anonymous while returning it.
* In ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'', Momoshiro receives this after winning against Sengoku with an injured leg. His sempai Inui, the one doing the patch-up work, can barely ''believe'' that Momo was able to even '''play''' with an injury like that.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf:'' Happens [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect more than once]] between Akane and Ranma. The most notorious example happens in the [[MartialArtsAndCrafts martial ice-skating]] arc: he's moping after a fight because a man named Mikado gave him [[SacredFirstKiss his first kiss]] and then defeated him (not knowing that Ranma and the girl he'd kissed were the same person), so Akane comes in to snap him out of his funk and bandage any wounds. This results in several [[AlmostKiss Almost Kisses]] between them before [[MomentKiller their families interrupt]].
* ''Anime/Sk8TheInfinity'': This is done between protagonists Langa and Reki more than once, and leads to a focus on an important conversation between them, whether heartfelt or painful. Reki does it with adhesive bandages after Langa first gets cut, leading to a quiet conversation in which Langa opens up for the first time. Later, Langa fixes the injury wrap on Reki's arm when they're hiding from the cops, which leads to a conversation on recklessness, and Reki's quiet relief that Langa is okay (and Langa smiling quietly to himself when he hears it), before transitioning to an important promise.
* Happens in the background after the climactic battle of ''Anime/YuGiOhTheMoviePyramidOfLight''. Mokuba can be seen bandaging Kaiba's arm, which was injured when Anubis threw him into the ground arm-first.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* A variation occurs in both the comic and film version of ''ComicBook/SinCity''. After the opening escape scene from the cops, Marv goes to Luceille's apartment to get patched up. He applies his own bandages since he snuck into her place but he is sure to ask her for meds.
* In ''ComicBook/AstroCity'',
** In "Safeguards", Nick Furst brings the narrator to the field hospital so she can get patched up. This, unusually, gives her time to reflect.

* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'':
** A gender-swapped version happens to [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie Brown/Spoiler]], where her boyfriend Tim Drake/Robin tends to her wounds as she talks about her villainous father.
** A platonic variation occurs when [[ComicBook/Robin1993 Tim (Robin III)]] [[LikeBrotherAndSister and]] [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cass (Batgirl III)]] help patch each other up after a battle while ''she'' explains a bit about her villainous father:
---> '''Tim:''' How can you take a bullet and not bat an eye?\\
'''Cass:''' You know that... kid game "two for flinching"?\\
'''Tim:''' Yeah. Oh no, don't tell me -\\
'''Cass:''' My... Dad and I played something like that.
* 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]]).
-->'''Punisher''': Well, my wrist is broken, so I guess I went insane and snapped the cuffs...
* On multiple occasions during the Golden Age of Comics Franchise/WonderWoman helped patch up ComicBook/SteveTrevor's minor injuries after an altercation if they were on a mission and he couldn't be brought back to headquarters or to a hospital easily without compromising their current mission.
[[/folder]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' continuum of Creator/AAPessimal, Matron Igorina fulfils this function for Assassins post-combat.

* A non-romantic version between Ritsu and Teruki makes up the entirety of Chapter 17 of ''FanFic/ABreachOfTrust'', though it's less about fixing the injuries and more about covering them.
* In the ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13980826/1/Bump-in-the-Night Bump in the Night]]'', the last portion of the story has Disco Kid dressing a wound on Aran Ryan's hand after Aran chases a raccoon away from the house.
* A mental health variant occurs in ''Fanfic/TheDragonAndTheButterfly''. After the fight between the Vikings and the Madrigals, Hiccup takes a moment to talk about the fight with Mirabel (as he had to watch his [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal fantastical foster family fight his former father)]].

* One early scene in Chapter 5 of ''Fanfic/ForumOfThrones'' has this between Kersea and Clayton, where he is patching her up after beating her in the first place. It is not meant to be a bonding scene between the two though, rather it serves to demonstrate another layer in their messed-up relationship.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14171719/1/New-Stars New Stars]]'': After he saves Marcus and Ty from Krill soldiers, Maxx is knocked out by a blast to the helmet. Dr. Finn takes him to the ''Orville'' and patches him up. This is a more platonic version of this trope, as Claire is married to Isaac. It does, however, help them become friends and help Maxx trust her to the point that [[spoiler: he believes her when she tells him what she learned about his inhibitor chip]].
* Early in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', Ash gets injured while protecting Pikachu from an angry flock of Spearow and Fearow. Misty, who happens to see it, decides to [[FromDressToDressing bandage his wounds with a spare undershirt she has]] before taking him to the Viridian Pokémon Center.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Animated]]

(At first, it appears her injuries were more serious since he uses a BridalCarry to get her to safety, but once she rests, the injuries do not hamper her.)
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* The famous "Well, dammit, Indy, where ''doesn't'' it hurt?!" scene in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. After a long almost 24 hours straight of Indy digging into ancient ruins, battling hordes of snakes and Nazis, getting physically beaten to a pulp, chasing down a truck, being shot, and getting dragged behind the aforementioned truck down a rough and rocky road, Marion is trying to patch Indy up, but every single place she touches or tries to treat just makes him flinch or cry out in pain. Marian starts trying to kiss the few places on his body that he indicates aren't hurt, but instead of getting sultry, as Marion intended, as soon as her kisses relax Indy he promptly passes out, much to her chagrin.
* After the beach house shootout of ''Film/TheKiller1989'', Ah Jong and Inspector Li Ying spend a scene tending one of the former's wounds, a gunshot to the arm, leading to Li using a bit of gunpowder from a shotgun shell and a match in order to cauterize the wound.
* After the Il Duce shootout from ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'', all three of the title characters have wounds to tend to, which is shown in a montage that includes a heated iron.

* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise:
** In ''Film/TheTerminator'', Sarah Connor bandages Kyle after he gets shot.
** ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' has the scene with Sarah Connor removing bullets from the T-800's torso, though unlike the first movie the UnresolvedSexualTension is noticeably absent.

* ''Film/TheThirteenthWarrior''. Ahmad is brought water by a Viking woman who proceeds to inspect a wound on his brow while he drinks, and on hearing his yelp, tells him he's sounding like a woman, so he quips, "Do that again, and you'll make it."

* In ''Film/{{Excalibur}}'', after his first battle as king, Arthur is treated for his wounds by Guinevere, leading to his falling in love with her.
* A rare Film/JamesBond example occurs in ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'', where after the final ChaseScene Bond is seen recuperating from his wounds in a large rowboat, and the titular character comes along to check up on him, where it's revealed he isn't ''that'' badly injured...
* ''Film/BabylonAD''. Mercenary Toorop winces as the woman he's [[LiveActionEscortMission escorting across the border]] patches him up, and they rib 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.
* Played straight, then subverted in ''Film/EdgeOfTomorrow'' where the protagonists are stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop, condemned to refight the same battle unless they can win the war by destroying the HiveQueen. Cage and Rita discover a helicopter in a farm that they can use for their mission, but before taking off Cage insists on treating Rita's injury (despite being AfraidOfBlood at the [[TookALevelInBadass start of the movie]]). This leads to some mild flirtation, which Rita responds to by drawing her pistol, pointing out that she's in pain and suggesting they [[DeathIsCheap reset to the beginning of the time loop]]. Rita saw a close friend die over 300 times in a previous loop, so she has a phobia about getting too close to anyone. [[spoiler:Then she realises that Cage is doing this deliberately; he's played out this scene before and each time Rita dies when she takes off in the helicopter, so he's trying to stall for time until it's too dark to fly.]]
* A completely platonic version happens in ''Film/DasFinstereTal'': Greider is wounded badly, but there is no hint of romance between him and the women treating him. There's still a tender moment near the end of the scene where Luzi starts his metronome, which helps calm him down.
* In the aftermath of a furious shootout in ''Film/ElGringo'', the protagonist (simply referred in the film as [[NoNameGiven The Man]] is being tended to by his LoveInterest, with her using her bra and panties as an improvised tourniquet. Leading to this line:
--> "It's almost worth getting shot!"
* ''Film/KingArthurLegendOfTheSword''
** The montage of Arthur growing up on the streets of Londinium keeps cutting to the prostitutes who are raising him patching up his injuries [[HadToBeSharp until he gets big and tough enough to start dishing it out]] instead of taking it.
** After Arthur first unleashes the power of the sword in battle, he and the Mage have a quiet scene together where they discuss what just happened while he helps her tend to a wound on the back of her shoulder.
* ''Film/TheLegendOfTarzan'': after a CurbStompBattle between Tarzan and his [[KillerGorilla ape brother]] Akut (Akut did the stomping), Tarzan's friend George Washington Williams patches up the massive bite wound in his shoulder with [[{{Squick}} the mandibles of living termites]].
* ''Film/UnderSiege'' offers a brief example, though it's hard to tell whether there is any UnresolvedSexualTension, what with Creator/{{Steven Seagal}}'s [[DullSurprise incredible acting range]].
* ''Film/WhenKnighthoodWasInFlower'': The romance between Princess Mary and Charles Brandon moves forward when Mary has to bandage up his wounded hand, which he got in a sword fight defending her against the Duke of Buckingham's goons.
* A nonverbal version happens at the end of ''Film/{{Dredd}}'', when Judge Dredd patches up rookie Judge Cassandra Anderson as they're traveling in the elevator from the [=200th=] story to the ground floor. While no words are exchanged, Anderson's expression as she stares at Dredd likely inspired a few fanfics.
* A double version in ''Film/GeminiMan'' after the [[UpgradeVsPrototypeFight first confrontation between Henry Brogan and Junior]], with both characters trying to puzzle out with the person patching them up why their opponent was similar to them.
* A very mild version occurs in ''Film/ShredderOrpheus'' after one of Orpheus's concerts where Orpheus massages Eurydice's feet, which are worn-out from dancing.

* In ''Literature/InCryptid'', this is commonplace in all the novels and some of the short stories. Cryptozoology is not a safe science.
* In ''Literature/TheFiresStone'', Aaron nearly dies and seriously wounds himself getting the Stone back into position in the climax of the book and wakes up in Darvish's bed covered in bandages and unable to move. Darvish has a fair number of bandages of his own, but he's at least mobile.
* Across ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'', exhaustion and injures frequently catch up to heroes in the aftermath of fights and general action. Usually someone can help them recover.
** In ''Winds of Fate'', Darkwind is not physically injured when he encounters Elspeth and her party, but he's just gone through some massive strain and heartbreak and is worn to the bone, yet pushing himself to keep going because there just aren't enough able-bodied people about to take over for him. He has a great front of strength but this doesn't prevent him from collapsing in front of Elspeth, who puts [[HealingShiv Need]] in his hand. Need heals him of general exhaustion and gives him some sympathy.
** [[Literature/LastHeraldMageTrilogy Vanyel Ashkevron]] is particularly prone to these but special mention goes to the official HurtComfortFic in Mark Shepherd's short story ''Chance'', where mage-lightning cuts off Vanyel's clothes and an admiring gay soldier takes him to a safe cave with a hot spring in it and gives him a head-to-toe massage with ointment.
--> Fortunately, Vanyel's injuries were bad only above the waist.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
** PlayedForLaughs when Cordelia patches up the vampire Angel after he gets rebar through his chest.
--->'''Cordelia''': Stop breathing.\\
'''Angel:''' I don't breathe.\\
'''Cordelia''': Then stop flexing your manly boob muscle.
** Definitely not played for laughs is Wesley treating Illyria in the GrandFinale rather than spend his last day alive doing whatever he wants. Since [[spoiler:Winifred Burkle died due to Illyria taking over her body]], Wesley has lost interest in life and so spends his final hours tending to what's left of his loved one.
* ''Series/{{Arrow}}''
** In "League of Assassins," after Oliver Queen and the [[ComicBook/BlackCanary 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 Smoak points out that she's not even flinching.
-->'''The Canary''': Pain and I came to a little understanding a few years back.
** 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, John Diggle slips her some painkillers under the guise of aspirin.
** Another non-romantic version is in "Restoration" when Felicity patches up Oliver. Instead of their usual ShipTease, she gives him a roasting for taking on the metahuman who give him the injuries without backup. Also Oliver is shown wincing at the treatment, showing how he's unwound somewhat from the stoic façade he would have put on in the early seasons.
** The romantic version occurs in "The Huntress Returns" but involves a variation where a doctor is the one doing the patching up, with Thea Queen giving Roy Harper (injured while [[RescueRomance saving her]] from an AttemptedRape) a KissOfDistraction because he is AfraidOfNeedles.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Buffy and Angel's FirstKiss is preceded by her bandaging Angel's shoulder ("[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E7Angel Angel]]"). Similarly, an ice rink skirmish is followed by Buffy tending to Angel's bleeding, [[GameFace bumpy]] forehead ("[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E10WhatsMyLinePart2 What's My Line, Part 2]]").
--->'''Angel''': You shouldn't have to touch me when I'm like this.\\
'''Buffy''': I didn't even notice.
** And yet again, in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E11Ted 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 "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E12Helpless 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 [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead clean her forehead where she's bleeding]].
** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E9NeverLeaveMe 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]].
* Lampshaded and parodied in ''Series/{{Community}}'', when Jeff suffers an ACTUAL injury during the PaintballEpisode and Britta patches him up, commenting on how the "wounded soldier fantasy" clearly means they're moments from doing it. [[spoiler:They do it.]]
* Gender-inverted on ''Series/DowntonAbbey'', where Matthew tends to an injured Sybil after she's assaulted during a riot. Unusual in that it's used not to advance the relationship between the two of them, but between Matthew and Sybil's older sister Mary.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones''.
** Arya Stark cleans and sews up Sandor Clegane's neck wound in "Mockingbird". Given that all their previous interactions have involved either killing people or engaging in SnarkToSnarkCombat, it's their first moment of actual bonding.
** Samwell Tarly gets severely beaten trying to stop the AttemptedRape of Gilly, who later treats his wounds and has RescueSex with him.
* Practically a way of life on ''Series/{{Outlander}}'', where Claire is constantly tending to Jamie's wounds after conflicts: most notably in the first episode when she sets his dislocated shoulder, after his duel on behalf of the Duke of Sandringham when he is mildly stabbed, and reversed at the end of season 3 when Jamie gives Claire an injection and brings her soup after a small cut gets infected. Romance almost always ensues.
* Janine does this for Michael in ''Series/{{Eastenders}}'' following his beating from Derek.
* In ''Series/TheCityHunter'', Yun Sung gets this after taking a beating from a congressman's son (Step One of an EngineeredPublicConfession); Na Na thanks him for attempting to defend her honor.
* At the start of the Granada ''Series/SherlockHolmes'' story 'The Final Problem', Watson is cleaning the wounds on Holmes's hand while Holmes narrates his meeting with Moriarty. Holmes yelps in pain when the iodine goes on, possibly emphasising his vulnerability. Holmes's wounds are mentioned in the original story but not treated 'on-screen'.
* This is Jack and Kate's first interaction in ''Series/{{Lost}}''.
* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'':
** Late in "The Prince and the Rebel", Julia is shown tending to Murdoch's wrists after he had been tied up by the kidnappers.
** In "The Murdoch Identity", Murdoch, suffering from Identity Amnesia, gets shot in his arm. Anna Fulford helps him to find a sanctuary in her church, and she then treats his wound. They end up kissing, but the kiss brings out memories of certain Julia, so Anna is only his might-have-been love.
** At the end of "Midnight Train to Kingston", Murdoch is seen to have survived his jump from the bridge in pursuit of James Gillies and Juia treats his injuries (including reducing a dislocated shoulder). Murdoch, Julia, and Brackenreid discuss whether or not Gillies survived his fall (clearly possible since Murdoch did), and Crabtree joins them to tell them they can't find Gillies or his body.
** 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 the 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.
** In "The Devil Wears Whalebone", Julia struggles to get out of a suffocating corset, falling and breaking her arm. Dr. Emily Grace later gives Julia a once over, including a stethoscope check and putting Julia's arm in a support and sling.
* ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'': After the guys are pounded by the football team, they get treated for injuries, except for [[ButtMonkey Mark]], who is left stuck in the basketball ring.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': In "Goodbye Stranger", Castiel cleans up Meg's injuries from a year of ColdBloodedTorture at the hands of Crowley, and they have a discussion in which they acknowledge their FoeRomanceSubtext.
-->'''Meg:''' You really do know how to make a girl's nethers quiver, don't you?\\
'''Castiel:''' I am aware of how to do that. Although it doesn't usually involve cleaning wounds.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** 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.
** ''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.
*** Done as BookEnds for "In the Blood". At the start of the episode, Claire Temple patches up Matt Murdock, and it's played for the usual ShipTease. At the end Matt patches up Claire, after she has been kidnapped and beaten by Russian mafiya thugs trying to find out who Daredevil is--in the latter case the conversation is more serious and [[SecretKeeper Matt reveals his true name as a sign of trust.]]
** ''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]].
** Subverted in ''Series/ThePunisher2017'' which always plays these scenes for FanDisservice, given that [[MadeOfIron Frank is usually a bloody mess]].
** ''Series/Hawkeye2021'': After escaping the fire in Kate Bishop's apartment Clint Barton tells her they need "supplies". Kate assumes this means Avengers-level tech but Clint actually means first aid supplies. He then shows her how to properly clean and dress her head wound to prevent infection. As Clint is HappilyMarried, and there's a large age gap between him and Kate, the scene is strictly platonic and more about Clint reluctantly acting as TheMentor for Kate.
* In the ''Series/Supergirl2015'' episode [[Recap/Supergirl2015S2E8Medusa "Medusa"]], Alex stitches up Maggie's wound after the latter got shot by the Cyborg Superman. Alex uses the time to thank Maggie for helping her realize her sexuality, and that she finally understands herself now because of it.
* ''Series/WonderWoman1975'': Princess Diana is sent to America specifically to deliver Steve Trevor to an American hospital after patching him up on Paradise Island following him being shot by a Nazi soldier.
* ''Series/AlteredCarbon'' has a sci-fi twist to this trope, as it takes place in a future where people can have their [[BodySurf personality downloaded into another body.]] Takeshi Kovacs has been 'sleeved' into the body of Detective Kristin Ortega's former partner and boyfriend. She patches up his injuries as she's done for her ex-boyfriend before, then [[DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest has sex with him]]. In a later episode, Ortega is the one who turns up injured and there's a BathtubScene where Takeshi cleans up her injuries. [[spoiler:Only it's the BigBad who has sleeved into Ortega's body, in order to find out just how close Takeshi is to her. As the BigBad is Takeshi's sister, there's an IncestSubtext to it all.]]
** The first episode starts with an implied one combined with ShowerOfLove, as Kovacs and his unnamed companion clean a copious amount of blood off themselves in a hotel shower, and then proceed to have sex in the same shower.
* Temo tends to Ari's split lip after the latter's fight with Mateo in ''Series/ElCorazonNuncaSeEquivoca''.
* Happens a lot on ''Series/{{Gotham}}'':
** Lee does this for Jim a lot. Justified as she ''is'' a doctor, but since she's also his girlfriend it usually ends with them kissing.
** Alfred is the one that does this for Bruce, as per usual for the characters. One particularly memorable scene between them sees the establishment of Bruce's iconic ThouShaltNotKill rule.
** Selina has also done this for Bruce on one occasion, but it was used more to set up another "becoming Batman" moment than any ShipTease (though that is there too).
--->'''Bruce:''' And in that moment...I knew no matter what he did to me, that he couldn't break me. That no one can.
* Happens a couple of times in ''Series/TheXFiles'', since Mulder tends to get himself into stupid situations and Scully ''is'' a doctor.

* In ''ComicStrip/PricklyCity'', after one of Winslow's attempts to fly, Carmen came hurrying up with a first aid box.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* In ''Roleplay/TheSydneyScroungers'', Seiko and Miranda's first meeting involves her coming back to her apartment... and finding him passed out bleeding on the couch. Rather than calling the cops or taking him to a hospital, she decides to patch him up and ask him some questions instead.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* Tends to pop up in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' as in-combat healing rarely outpaces the damage dealt, and stopping someone from doing damage is more efficient.
* Most roleplaying games that provide for some way to apply first aid or otherwise top off those precious {{hit points}} again will see this happen after a fight in which any player characters were hurt even a little as a simple matter of common sense -- usually at least one PC will have some relevant skill, be that mundane or magical. It's relatively unusual to see such a scene played out to much actual dramatic effect beyond the odd bit of inter-player squabbling about who needs the help first or more, though.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/BinaryDomain'', after a hectic level with nonstop action, Dan treats Faye's gunshot wound.
* One of the first things that happens to Markus in ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman'' upon discovering Jericho. He falls off a very high catwalk and gets a nasty cut on his side, so he's encouraged to see [[TheMedic Lucy]] to get it fixed. Said fixing involves [[WorstAid nothing more than a hot poker]] and a bottle of [[AlienBlood thirium]], but it also results in her telling Markus' [[MessianicArchetype fortune]].
* If a ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' character is a healer, chances are they will have at least one support talk involving this.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', Henry gets this treatment from either Olivia (who's not a healer) or Maribelle (who is) in their supports. Similarly, Kellam is in the receiving end of this from Sully (again, not a healer), and Gregor gets it from the aforementioned Olivia.
*** And in the Harvest Scramble DLC stage, Inigo can get this from... [[HoYay Gerome]] (another non-healer).
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', the supports between [[spoiler: the male healer Azama and the GlacierWaif Effie in the GoldenPath]] have at least [[RuleOfThree three scenes like this.]] She gets wounded via TakingTheBullet for him in their C support and he heals her, then he finds her badly wounded in her B support and patches her up again while calling her a fool for her lack of self-care, and this happens ''again'' in their A one, leading them to have a rather serious talk and to her falling asleep on him. [[spoiler: If the player gets their S support, Azama asks Effie to marry him and straight-up says he wants to protect her so this trope won't happen again [[GrowOldWithMe and they'll grow old together]].]]
*** The support chain between the {{ninja}} Saizo and the WhiteMagicianGirl Sakura also starts like this, with Saizo being grievously wounded and chased around by enemies and Sakura healing his injuries so they can get away safely. In the B support Saizo, who knows Sakura has a huge SweetTooth, brings her candies as thanks [[RealMenHateSugar nevermind how he detests sweet stuff]]. If they reach S-Support, they get married.
*** The aforementioned Saizo is in the receiving end again if the player builds the support chain with [[DanceBattler Azura.]] This time it's different: Azura is ''not'' a healer so she rips her own skirt to dress Saizo's wound. [[spoiler:Which is a turning point in their support chain, as he sees a huge scar she has and they discuss their issues.]]
* Happens ''twice'' in ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', when Madison patches Ethan up after each of the first two challenges. Ethan also suffers from PostVictoryCollapse (or possibly post-FAILURE collapse) after the second challenge, but there's little that Madison can do besides disinfect his wounds and wait.
* Implied in ''VideoGame/JaggedAlliance 2'', as all your [[TheMedic medically trained team members]] can do while in combat is stop bleeding. Restoring HP and removing any stat penalties incurred from getting hit in a particular location requires a full-sized medical kit and a fair amount of time, up to two or three in-game days if a merc has taken a really bad mauling. Any [[UnresolvedSexualTension Unresolved]] or BelligerentSexualTension is, perhaps mercifully, left to the player's own imagination.
* Played with in ''VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame'': Initially, Nima only gets first aid treatment after escaping from the ''Dilophosaurus'' and the mysterious creatures. During the climax of episode one, however, Nima has to get treatment ''during'' an action segment.
* One [[StoryBreadcrumbs retrievable memory]] in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' has Zelda bandaging Link's arm after a battle with an unusual number of monsters while chastising him as "not immortal."
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' uses a SelfSurgery version of this to teach the player how to use the Cure screen. After being [[spoiler:thrown off a bridge]], Snake speaks to Para-Medic over his radio while lying in a quiet riverside meadow. It serves the same dramatic purposes in that it slows down the action and allows a little bit of flirtation, albeit from afar.
* Seen in ''VideoGame/OperationWolf'', where a villager bandages your wounds (completely refilling your health bar) after the Village mission.
* ''VideoGame/DeathRoadToCanada'': In-between driving events, the character with the highest medical skill will patch up the rest of your party. Characters with a maxed-out medical skill can do this without even using up medical supplies.

* In ''Webcomic/CityUnderTheHill'', this happens in what ''would'' usually be considered an AfterActionHealingDrama moment, if Seamus wasn't a Werewolf and therefore already healing his heavy wounds by the time he reaches HQ, M.T. still patches him up.
* In ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'', [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/archive/chapter-0-bonus-3/ parodied with Tomato, who gets a papercut.]]
* 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.

** John drags himself to the infirmary after he gets in fights with other students who are using their abilities, and the school doctor is quite sick of having to patch him up.
** After Arlo's ill advised ambush of John he calls Elaine out to the Turf War field to heal his co-conspirators, whom John had injured to the point of unconsciousness. He refuses to let her heal him since he can still walk.
** Blyke and Isen call Elaine to Remi's room to heal her after Remi was almost killed while acting as a superhero. They try to keep their illegal activities a secret but Elaine tells Arlo, who forces Remi to agree to stop.

The scene where Jane saves Mr. Rochester from burning alive in his bed is reimagined as a mysterious accident with crashing glass.
