[[AC: Western Animation]]

In an episode of ''{{Family Guy}}'', paraplegic Joe Swanson gets a leg transplant and is able to walk again, [[HollywoodHealing almost instantly becoming as athletic as he ever was]] and soon becoming very cocky about it, abandoning his old friends (who can't keep up with him in his newfound interests) and eventually about to walk out on his wife Bonnie. Bonnie says she wants her old Joe back and pulls a gun, trying to shoot his spine and reparalyze him. She keeps missing and wounding him in other places, until he finally yells "STOP, I'LL DO IT MYSELF!!!" He then takes the gun and shoots himself in the base of the spine.

(Note: I think this is close enough, anyway--Bonnie didn't ask Joe to reparalyze himself, although if she had initially it's pretty likely he would have refused. But he still ended up doing it himself because he was tired of her shots missing the mark and hurting him elsewhere, I suppose--her incompetence was ''literally'' painful in this case.)
