Florence Nightingale Effect: Invoked by Hank's older brother Chase. When he's in the hospital to get his knee scoped, he plays up his weakness and anxiety over the future so the student nurse Patti will be attracted to him. It works well enough for them to enter a brief relationship before messily breaking up.
