Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Someone suffers pain while getting their injuries fixed/cleansed.
* '''Straight''': Danny is injured in a fight, and his friend Claire starts putting antiseptic and a bandage over the wound. Danny is notably in pain during this, and starts wincing.
* '''Exaggerated''': Danny delves into UnstoppableRage territory and starts attacking Claire for helping him.
* '''Downplayed''': Danny briefly flinches while getting his injuries fixed.
* '''Justified''':
** Antiseptic ''can'' sting when it's first applied, and the bandage is touching the injured area.
** In more serious cases such as the "exaggerated" example, Danny is so seriously injured that he's in shock and believes that Claire is trying to hurt him.
* '''Inverted''': The process of fixing/cleansing the injuries actually feels good.
* '''Subverted''': Claire tells Danny that the process of fixing his injuries will probably sting a little, but he doesn't seem to be in any pain at all when his injuries are actually being fixed.
* '''Double Subverted''': That was because he was still in some sort of shock - Claire goes on to fix another injury he sustained during the fight, and he is seen in pain.
* '''Parodied''': Claire does this because she saw Danny step on a Lego brick.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Sometimes Danny seems to be in pain while his injuries are being tended to, but sometimes he isn't.
* '''Averted''':
** Nobody gets injured.
** Danny has his injuries fixed, but he doesn't react in any sort of pain at all.
* '''Enforced''': To add some minor conflict to the scene after Danny gets in a fight.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Yeah, it really ''does'' sting a little."
* '''Invoked''': Claire tries to make it hurt more, because she specifically told Danny not to get in that fight.
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''':
** Claire takes Danny to a medical professional who will treat him in a way that doesn't hurt.
** Claire gives Danny some sort of painkillers before treating him.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Implied''': Danny seems to be involuntarily flinching while Claire is treating him, but if it's because he's in pain or something else entirely is not specified.
