** In "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E9EclipseLake Eclipse Lake]]", Luz comes down with the illness [[FesteringFungus "Common Mold"]]. While the illness is harmless to witches (treated no more seriously than a cold or basic flu), Amity points out that, as Luz is human, they have no idea what effects it will have on her body.
** Discussed in "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS3E1ThanksToThem Thanks to Them]]". [[spoiler:Hunter gets possessed by Belos, and while he eventually manages to drive him out of his body, he's left scarred, drained, and barely clinging to life. Camila tells Vee to call an ambulance, only for Willow and Luz to point out that a human doctor would have no idea how to treat DemonicPossession, let alone how to treat a [[ArtificialHuman Grimwalker]].]]

* [[DrJerk Dr. Borville]] of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' refuses to treat the injured Zora prince Ralis, and you overhear some townsfolk remarking that he won't treat Ralis ''because'' he's Zora. It's suggested to be a combination of plain old FantasticRacism and Borville being too proud to admit the he doesn't know enough about Zora physiology to treat the youngster ([[AllThereInTheManual as is mentioned in the official strategy guide]]).

** His introductory scene of giving Fry a checkup shows that he has no idea what a Human is.

** Played straight in the episode where the crew ends up in the 1950s, when Zoidberg is captured by the government and the scientists at Roswell try to dissect him. His species has so many unnecessary organs that being partially dissected doesn't hurt or even scare him. He even considers Fry and Leela [[ItMakesSenseInContext throwing his own organs at the president]] "an honor".
--> '''Scientist''': Heart.
--> '''Zoidberg''': (bored) Take, I have four of them.
* Discussed in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. In "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS3E1ThanksToThem Thanks to Them]]", [[spoiler:Hunter gets possessed by Belos, and while he eventually manages to drive him out of his body, he's left scarred, drained, and barely clinging to life. Camila tells Vee to call an ambulance, only for Willow and Luz to point out that a human doctor would have no idea how to treat DemonicPossession, let alone how to treat a [[ArtificialHuman Grimwalker]]]].
** In an earlier episode, Luz comes down with the illness "Common Mold". While the illness is harmless to witches (treated no more seriously than a cold or basic flu), Amity points out that, as Luz is human, they have no idea what effects it will have on her body.

* Implied in ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}''. Because four out of five of the Hamato siblings are mutant turtles, SHIELD's usual medics and doctors can't treat them [[note]] Though that's mostly due to the fact that the Hamato family is being kept a secret from all but SHIELD's top agents[[/note]]. Luckily, Donatello is a skilled [[TheMedic medic]], and can either treat his siblings or, should he be busy/injured himself, be able to tell someone else what to do.

* Averted in ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerePonies'': Harry was turned into a unicorn colt [[FisherKingdom after ending up in Equestria]]. As he was grievously injured thanks to Dudley and his gang, he was immediately taken to the hospital. Since he's a unicorn colt, the doctors already know what to do to help him. The only challenge comes from the fact that Harry's magic is actually helping his body to heal faster, something that surprises the doctors.

* ''Series/TheOrville'': Despite being an experienced (and seriously talented) doctor, Claire doesn't know everything about every alien species, and often asks patients questions about their biology or expresses surprise at learning something about them. In "New Horizons", she has to ask Yaphit how he feels when he loses a piece of his tissue (he's a blob alien). She learns in the exact same episode that the only thing in existence that can give a Moclan a stomach ache is a piece of a blob alien (Yaphit wasn't amused).

* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'': Inverted in the season 1 finale. Raf is exposed to Dark Energon, something that is dangerous enough to Cybertronians, but is lethal in humans if not treated in time. Ratchet, a Cybertronian, tries to treat Raf, but is forced to admit ([[MyGreatestFailure to his shame]]) that he doesn't know enough about the human body to treat Raf.
