History Series / ChildrensHospital

* InformedJudaism / InformedAbility: Averted with Dr. Richie - the guy wears a yarmulke at all times, it's regularly brought up that he's Jewish and he'll occasionally mention the Sabbath or other Jewish customs.
** In a case of playing the trope straight, Chief is 100% Chocktaw Indian- that's why they call her Chief. Also, the hospital's in Brazil. It was averted in one episode where [[ItMakesSenseInContext Glen and Owen walked through Rio to get a churro]] but is usually played straight.
** Blake Downs constantly reminds us that he can cure anything with laughter, though he has yet to make any patient laugh. At all.

* MatzoFever: Lampshaded.

* AndIMustScream: In "DOY", Cat and Glen inject Blake with a heavy dosed paralytic in order to prevent him from attending the Doctor Of the Year awards(which he always wins) and leaves him in his hotel bed only able to move his eyes and fingers. Unfortunately, the bed next to him is soon occupied by Owen, who is having sex [[spoiler: with his own mother.]]

* BiTheWay: Cat and Lola dated for all of one episode.
** Valarie Flame starts randomly kissing a nurse at the beginning of "Give a Painted Brother a Break".
*** And Val was getting kinda pervy on Cat in "Black Doctor".
*** Glenn and Owen made out more than once...
*** And then there is Brian, who constantly repeats that he's bi.

* ActorAllusion: Sy (Henry Winkler) stuttered when he had to admit he was [[Series/HappyDays "w-w-w-wrong"]] to Blake in "Sy's Tenure".

* [[{{Lolicon}} Shotacon]]: [[spoiler:Dr. Cat Black has sex with a six year old]], but it's okay; he's got an accelerated aging disorder.
