** In "The Operation", Dorothy is scheduled for surgery for a Morton's neuroma, a kind of benign nerve tumor that has been causing her intermittent foot pain and interfering with her daily activities (including an upcoming dance recital). She reveals herself to have a phobia of hospitals that started when she was five--she'd had an emergency tonsillectomy and circumstances kept both of her parents from being there, and she never got over the childhood fear. [[Creator/RobertPicardo Her doctor's]] casual discussion of all that could go wrong doesn't help, either. A conversation with her hospital roommate, who's in for her second mastectomy and is facing it stoically despite her very real fear, snaps her out of it. (And, to top it off, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments this time Sophia makes sure to stay by her daughter's side until she wakes up from the anaesthetic.)]]

* ThePatientHasLeftTheBuilding: Dorothy escapes from the hospital before her scheduled operation is due, though admittedly the surgeon talking about death in the hospital with a remarkably flippant attitude and a rabbi administering the last rites on her by mistake (he was supposed to do the rites on someone else but went into the wrong room) does no favor for Dorothy, who's already AfraidOfDoctors in the first place.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Dorothy's retort to Rose about [[AfraidOfDoctors fear of doctors and hospitals]] has this trope in the format.
-->'''Rose''': Nobody likes hospitals, but there's nothing to be scared of.

It takes Sophia guilt-tripping her at first and talking things out about her phobia later on before Dorothy becomes willing enough to go through with the surgery.
