Instant Illness	comment	In the world of fiction, illnesses always progress as quickly as a heart attack. A person feeling ill will drop down within minutes of the first signs of an illness. Similarly, only hours or minutes remain for an antidote to take effect. To be fair, many diseases have a very fast progression (septicemic plague, for example, was described in Medieval writing as "the man coughs at dawn, takes to his bed at noon, and is dead by sundown.") but this trope is about diseases that move unusually fast (i.e. at the speed of plot). This unrealistically speedy disease progression, apart from the need to squash a 24-hour or week-long disease into the 1 or 2 hours you can keep viewers interested, is motivated by the Rule of Drama: Nobody cares about an illness that takes weeks to develop. Surprisingly, there are some cases in medicine where this is Truth in Television, but most of the time it applies to chemical exposure or poisoning, rather than infection with bacteria, viruses or fungi. Parasitic infestations can also take on extremely quickly depending on the particular nasty that's decided to make your body its home. See also Relationship Compression, Travelling at the Speed of Plot, and Transformation at the Speed of Plot. See also Jumping-to-Conclusions Diagnosis for when a character is sent to bed after showing only a hint of possible symptoms, which often overlaps with this trope. Contrast Soap Opera Disease and Victorian Novel Disease. Examples

Instant Illness / int_22211d68	comment	On Bones, Arastoo gets sick very quickly from a genetically modified virus when he pricks his finger on a needle embedded in the victimâ€™s arm. It likely took a little time to get all the equipment set up where they were treating him, but itâ€™s obvious itâ€™s still the same day, with maybe an hour or so passing. By a couple hours later, heâ€™s almost dead. Only finding the killer and getting the antidote saves him. Although the virus was genetically engineered, it still moved faster than many real pathogens.

A few hours later, the victim will be too weak to move, have difficulty breathing, and experience extreme hemorrhaging, eventually suffering seizures, organ failure, and, about twenty-four hours after infection, death.

Instant Illness / int_ec28245c	comment	At the start of the android arc of Dragon Ball Z, Trunks came back in time to both warn the Z Fighters about their upcoming battle with the androids and to give Goku medicine for a heart disease that killed him before the fight in the initial timeline. When the androids do show up, Goku enters the fight completely healthy but then quickly succumbs to the disease and needs to be taken home (he didn't take the medicine because he didn't feel sick). Granted, fighting for your life would put a significant strain on your heart, which would have aggravated the condition, but considering he had no symptoms at all until the fight began, it falls into this trope.
