* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Dr. Doofenschmirtz once hired a professional platypus hunter to help him take down archnemesis Perry. He also applied the same principle in building Norm, since he learned "the enemy of the platypus is man" (as in, habitat loss due to human encroachment/pollution, but he interpreted it as literally "an average man is the perfect enemy for a super spy platypus"), even though he didn't hire him ''per se''.

* ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'': [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in the Season Nine episode where Darlene goes into extremely premature labor. Roseanne, who's recently won the lottery, declares that she wants "the best doctor on the whole damn ''planet''" to help, as money is no longer an object. Two (literally) world-class [=OB/GYNs=] are flown in and do everything possible for Darlene and her baby, but they sadly explain that even with all of their knowledge and Roseanne's resources, there's only so much they can actually do given the limits of nature itself. In the end, it's implied that the family's faith and love is what truly allows the baby to live as opposed to the doctors' expertise, but the latter certainly helps the situation.
