Perhaps it's because a hospital environment makes people feel more than a little vulnerable, and anxious about whether their caregivers have their best interests in mind. Perhaps it's because anywhere but a hospital, an orderly's occasional job of subduing unruly patients would brand them as a bad guy's Mook. Perhaps it's a bit of classism at play where people are more mistrustful of working-class orderlies versus the solidly middle-class college-educated nurses and the downright aristocratic graduate-school trained physicians. Or perhaps it's simply Nightmare Fuel to imagine any medical professional turning bad, and it's orderlies who tend to catch the flack because we really, really want to believe our doctors and nurses are trustworthy. Whatever the reason, many orderlies in fiction are depicted as petty or not-so-petty criminals, taking advantage of their patients and the trust of their hospital superiors (unless their superiors are just as bad, or worse). When he's not stealing patients' medication to sell on the street, any orderly who's not a faceless extra is bound to be rooting through their belongings for cash and jewelry. An orderly with lower tastes may procure drugs from hospital stocks for personal use, or secretly trade them to addicts under their care in exchange for sexual favors. The creepiest of all don't bother to barter, molesting or outright raping patients who are too drugged, restrained, unconscious or crazy to report the offense. |

In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah Connor is locked up in a mental institution. An orderly licks her face while she's strapped down and apparently comatose. When this preeminent Action Girl kicks his ass, the audience usually cheers. The extended cut features the same orderly and his pal zapping her with a stun rod and beating her with a baton earlier in the movie, making his eventual bashed-in face all the more richly deserved. |

Inverted in Penny Dreadful season three, where Vanessa's flashbacks show the orderly at the asylum she was locked up in as pretty much the most decent individual in the entire place. Said orderly was the only human being who cared about Vanessa during her time there and tried to help her however he could. Unfortunately, soon after her release, the orderly died and was resurrected as "the Creature" by Dr. Victor Frankenstein. | |

A very mild version in the SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron episode "Enter the Madkat." The involuntarily-committed former comedian Lenny Ringtail is harassed by an orderly whose desk is right outside of his cell. The orderly frequently listens to The David Litterbin Show, hosted by Ringtail's hated professional rival, a David Letterman Expy, even though he knows it causes Ringtail to become agitated and hit his own head against the wall. | |

He ends up as one of the Bride's first victims when she gets out of her four-year coma, losing his life (by means of heavy steel door), his clothes and his truck (the Pussy Wagon) in the bargain. | |

The orderly in Happy Gilmore, played by Ben Stiller subjects the retirement home residents to long quilting sessions which he sells for personal gain. If anyone complains, they're punished by "pulling landscaping duty". In deleted scenes, other things the residents are forced to do include things like operating a phone sex line. In a deleted scene, he is thrown out the window by an angry Happy Gilmore after he's lied to by the orderly that his grandmother had "senilitis maximus" after she told Happy what was going on. | |

An episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent had a sociopathic orderly called Hal Shippman (i.e. he was named after a Real Life doctor who turned out to be a serial killer). He was just a Red Herring though. Any time a hospital is the scene of a Law & Order investigation, it's a safe bet at least one suspect and/or unlikeable witness will be an orderly who steals meds, smokes weed on duty, or got fired from a previous job for groping a patient. Make that an especially safe bet, if it's Law & Order: SVU. |

An unintentional example of this is found in Look Who's Talking, when John Travolta's character puts his grandfather into a nursing home and explains his daily medical care to the orderly. Later on the medical care is neglected and Grandpa goes a little nuts; it's revealed that the orderly speaks no English and so could not have complied with the medical instructions. Not so much a malicious creep as a negligent one, not to have admitted he didn't know what he was doing. | |

Alex Louis Armstrong is the main orderly at the titular asylum, and he's sweet as can be, acting as the Token Good Teammate among the staff alongside Dr. Maes Hughes. His actual moment of doing or saying anything is dramatically pulling Ed into a big bear hug after hearing the latter's tragic backstory and he's actively assisting the patients in their attempts to escape. | |

One NCIS investigation into 'roid rage among marines at a Navy hospital uncovered an orderly who'd been under-dosing patients so he could sell the rest of their meds on the street. | |

On 1000 Ways to Die, a creepy orderly with a foot fetish liked to groom the feet of cute-looking comatose patients as they laid down in their hospital beds. He died when one of them kicked him in the face due to a triggered reflex, sticking the lollipop he was eating inside his throat and causing him to suffocate him to death. | |

Any time a hospital is the scene of a Law & Order investigation, it's a safe bet at least one suspect and/or unlikeable witness will be an orderly who steals meds, smokes weed on duty, or got fired from a previous job for groping a patient. Make that an especially safe bet, if it's Law & Order: SVU. | |

Zep from the first Saw film is a hospital orderly who kidnaps Lawrence's wife and daughter, then torments him with photos of them tied up and threats to murder them at a specified time. Granted, that was the test Jigsaw put him in, but considering Zep ends up dead anyway, he could have defied Jigsaw at the cost of his own life rather than terrorizing a helpless mom and little girl. | |

Played with in Eleven's flashbacks during Season 4 of Stranger Things. Initially it's subverted, as Eleven is brutally bullied, and her only ally is a character known as the Friendly Orderly, who sticks up for her despite being tortured for it, warns her to distrust Dr. Brenner, and offers to help her escape. It then gets played horrifically straight, as the Friendly Orderly, aka One, tricks El into removing the implant suppressing his powers, and promptly goes back into the facility and massacres everyone he can find. When a horrified Eleven catches up to him and declines his offer that We Can Rule Together he ends up hurled into the Upside Down, where he ends up transforming into the season's Big Bad, Vecna. Orderlies don't get much creepier than that. | |

CSI: A slight variation in an episode where the mother of a terminal, comatose young woman in a long-term care facility convinces an orderly to rape her daughter (who's an only child) so she can have a grandchild. The mother keeps track of the daughter's menstrual cycle so she'll know when to tell the guy to do it. He agrees...for a large screen tv and other expensive items. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Frame of Mind", Riker wakes up in an alien asylum where he is a patient and told that the Enterprise is an elaborate fantasy his mind created to cover up the truth about an extremely violent murder he committed. The burly orderly who supervises him doesn't have enough sense to not openly taunt the potentially psychotic person about this. Of course, this causes Riker to freak out and lash out at him before being sedated. | |
