Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2008 supernatural Fantasy Comedy by writer/directer David Koepp and starring Ricky Gervais, Téa Leoni and Greg Kinnear.After suffering a near death experience during routine surgery, where he was technically dead for 7 minutes (a bit less), misanthropic dentist Bertram Pincus (Gervais) begins seeing the ghosts of people who died with unfinished business. When the ghosts realize that Pincus can see them, they begin following him around, asking for his help in crossing over. He, of course, does his best to ignore them all, but one ghost in particular finally gets his attention: Frank (Kinnear), who believes that if he can get Pincus to prevent his widow, Gwen (Leoni) from marrying a new guy that is completely wrong for her, he can finally cross over.Not to be confused with the 1988 horror movie of the same name.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Amoral Attorney: When Pincus returns to the hospital to find out if something went wrong with his surgery. He is taken to the surgeons where he is alone with her and a medical attorney and finds out that during his operation he was medically dead for ‘a bit less’ than seven minutes which they tried to hide. He then threatens to sue them and the Attorney tells him that he can’t as they got him to sign a document (when he was clearly still under the effects of the anesthetic) which makes them and the hospital not responsible and they are able to cover up their nearly fatal mistake, preventing Pincus from taking legal actionnote In real life, hiding something like this from a patient is, at a bare minimum, extremely unethical if not illegal, no matter what they sign. And even if he did sign something absolving them, such a document would be laughed out of court because he was under the effects of anesthesia, and clearly not competent to make such decisions at the time. | |
