** Dr. Kathleen Clem encountered this situation once. She's not a fan of "cookbook medicine," or going through ''every single'' step of protocol for protocol's sake when a patient needs help. In the "Chocolate Pudding" episode, the psychiatrist on call insisted Clem get a urine sample from a patient who clearly needed a psych consult and a safe place to stay. However, trying to get said sample made the patient's symptoms worse, so Clem did not insist on it. Special mention to a scene wherein she tells the on-call psychiatrist she's not asking for special treatment: "I'm asking you to ''do your job''."
** Dr. Bob Iserson ran into this in the "I Can't Remember" episode, when treating a First Nations woman named Mary. She'd ended up at her reservation's clinic, but she'd been estranged from her tribe for several years, which was a problem because it meant Iserson couldn't get the history he needed to treat her [[spoiler: possible tuberculosis symptoms.]] Iserson wanted to use [[spoiler: medical hypnosis]] as a way to get the info without further traumatizing Mary, but encountered resistance from a ''very'' protective, by-the-book charge nurse. He was eventually able to use several clever distractions and ExactWords to get Mary's medical history with the charge nurse being none the wiser.
** Another episode featured Ruthie, a pregnant Amish teen. The doctor treating her knew she'd be shunned if the community discovered she was pregnant. So, despite the mental torment of lying to the patient's father, she [[spoiler: told him his daughter was being treated for an ovarian torsion, then obtained permission to temporarily foster the baby.]]

The kicker? The two didn't hurt each other, they were so drunk that they fell on their own weapons.

** One patient had taken black market Viagra to surprise his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Problem was it was horse Viagra, and he went into the ER after the third day with the erection. The urologist was called as the blood was so clotted, it had to be manually drained with surgery.

* LatePregnancyRealization: In one episode "Don't Push It!", a fifteen year old girl comes in complaining of stomach pain, whilst completely oblivious to her bulging belly in contrast to her skinny body. As soon as the nurses help cut off her pants, the teen gives birth to a baby girl right on the spot and she didn't even know it. Her father walks in shocked, asking why did this happen. While her fifteen year old boyfriend is sitting nearby with his head in his hands. The teen is completely dumbfounded, insisting that she didn't know that she was pregnant and that she couldn't be.
