Inuyasha includes a darker take on the trope: Kikyou nursed the bandit Onigumo after he was burned and severely injured to the point that he could no longer move.Psychologists just couldn't think of a better doctor or nurse, thus proving once and for all that tropers aren't the only ones who choose Trope Namers that aren't examples of the trope. Named for the famous nurse Florence Nightingale, although she herself never fell victim to this and if anything, would have been shocked by such an abuse of patient rights. The After-Action Patch-Up often has touches of this, but since it's only one scene does not often have the full-blown effect. The love interest gets injured, and the tough character treats them and suddenly reveals a tender side.This might or might not involve the tough person making that hissing sound when the love interest touches their injured face, but not quite pulling away. Previously aloof tough character gets injured, lets the love interest treat their injuries, and reveals a newfound trust and intimacy.Typically, the "civilian" version comes in two flavors: This isn't their job, it's a genuine expression of caring for the well-being of another person. When the care is given by an amateur, there is an added element of romance because the medical treatment is entirely voluntary. But in fiction, this will usually be portrayed as sweet and romantic. Doctors are advised against getting infatuated with their patients or to clearly rebuff the patients' advances, and having sex (or any sort of overt romantic liaison for that matter) with a current patient, or any of their family members, is considered a punishable breach of medical ethics (there is a line in the Hippocratic Oath specifically forbidding that) to prevent the doctor from abusing his or her position of authority to coerce sex from patients. When the caregiver is a professional, such as a nurse or doctor, it would be considered extremely unprofessional for a doctor or nurse to act on those feelings. Whatever the case, patients can and do fall in love with those who give them medical care, and vice versa. Narrowly escaping a life-threatening situation gives the scene extra zing. You have to lean in to pat a cut eyebrow with Dettol-soaked cotton wool gently. Maybe it's that we really want to feel loved and protected when we're vulnerable. Maybe it's that they're so cute when they're helpless.
