Health Care

In many a story, health care is provided for the hero by a doctor, nurse, fellow soldier, or a loved one. Simply put, that person makes sure he or she is healthy when the protagonist is sick, wounded, or that person can give him or her a routine checkup. Sometimes, the hero can do the same thing to someone he cares about for this purpose.

Examples

 * Rosy and the children of Nome fall ill with diptheria and are taken to the doctor, who diagnoses her with that disease. This raises the stakes in the story.
 * When Peter Parker finds out he is losing his powers, he goes to see Dr. Davis to find out what is wrong with him.
 * Belle binds up the Beast's wounds after he gets attacked by the wolves.
 * Dr. Sweet gives Milo Thatch a checkup when he introduces himself to him.
 * Celestine examines Ernest to make sure he isn't sick when she finds out he has been eating out of the garbage.
 * Merlin binds King Arthur's wounds after the Griffin wounds him.
 * In The Sea of Monsters, Percy Jackson heals Annabeth Chase with the Golden Fleece after she gets wounded (in the book, by Polyphemus; in the film, by a manticore).
 * Daffy Duck gives Michael Jordan a checkup to see if he is healthy enough to play basketball.
 * Tadashi Hamada tests out Baymax on Hiro. Later, the robot scans Hiro to make sure he is fine.

Quotes
"(After the battle with the wolves, Belle takes the Beast back to his castle. Using Mrs. Potts, she pours hot water on a wet rag. Belle notices the Beast licking the wounds on his arm.) (firmly) Here, now. Don't do that. (The Beast pulls back his arm and growls. The enchanted objects back away. Belle prepares to apply the rag on the wound while he stubbornly pulls away.) Just hold still. (Belle puts the rag on the wound and as she does, the Beast gives out a roar of pain. The objects run off.) (Beast: THAT HURTS!) If you hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much! (Beast: If YOU hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened.) If you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run away! (Beast: Well, YOU shouldn't have been in the West Wing!) Well, YOU should learn to control your temper! Now hold still. This may sting a little. (Belle lays the rag on the Beast's arm and this time, he winces in pain.) by the way, thank you for saving my life. (As Belle tends to her patient, the Beast calms down.) (Beast: You're welcome.)"

- Belle tending to the Beast's wounds after the fight with the wolves. "(Dr. Davis looks down Peter's throat with a light and tongue depressor.) Aahhhhh..... (As soon as he is finished, the doctor explains Peter's diagnosis.) (Dr. Davis: You seem very okay to me. My diagnosis? (points to his head) It's up here. You say you can't sleep. Heartbreak? Bad dreams?) There is one dream where...in my dream...I'm Spider-Man. But I'm losing my powers. I climb up a wall, but I keep falling. (Dr. Davis: So you're Spider-Man.) In my dream. Actually, it's not even my dream. It's a friend of mine's dream. Somebody else's dream. (Dr. Davis: What about this friend? Why does he climb walls? What does he think of himself? That's the problem. He doesn't know what to think. Gotta make you mad not to know who you are. Your soul disappears. Nothing as bad as uncertainty. (firmly) Listen. Maybe you're not supposed to be Spider-Man climbing those walls. That's why you keep falling.)"
