** Also applies if the implications of a child's disease is eventual early death, even with treatment. Many parents have emotional reactions if they think their children will get a diagnosis such as cancer or cystic fibrosis. One of the best examples is Harry Crowther, who was doing great at filming, but is assumed to have a short life because of his [[spoiler: atypical progeria.]]
* WhatAnIdiot: You could say that some of the doctors are this because they don't seem to recognize trademark symptoms of fairly common diseases. One example is the case of Maryann Piazza, whose cough and pneumonia-like symptoms lingered for months. When she turned out to have [[spoiler: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma - one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the United States, no less! -]] her doctor seemed shocked that no one caught it earlier.
** Also happened to toddler Tyler Berchielli. His [[spoiler: Hischsprung's Disease]] is a rare malady, but: '''You'd Expect''' his local doctors to catch on when medication and twelve enemas didn't help Tyler's intestinal blockage. '''Instead''', the doctor continues to insist on enemas, with the poor kid screaming while nurses held him down.
** While Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva is a rare disease, the doctors treating a young girl with the condition decide from a few physical tests that the child was suffering from severe neurofibromatosis of the muscles instead. They neglected to do any X-Rays (as the growth in her arm was showing signs of the condition taking hold that could have been seen on an X-Ray), and opted to chop her arm off instead. It was only when they noticed bone starting to overrun the surgical site that made them realise what the girl was truly suffering from.
** Kirsten Larson's doctors constantly blamed her illness on chubbiness and told her to lose weight and exercise. Even after she tried to follow orders, her symptoms of heart palpitations and shortness of breath only worsened, to the point that a simple walk during school [[spoiler: made her pass out.]] Her principal, who was also an EMT, was sent to treat her. '''You'd Then Expect''' the principal to realize that, no, this kid is not having problems because she's chubby. '''Instead'' he blames her symptoms on allergies. Again, '''this is an EMT we're talking about'''. Doctors continue to blame Kirsten's weight for her symptoms until she [[spoiler: pretty much nearly dies.]]
