| Mercy | comment |
Mercy was a Medical Drama that ran on NBC during the 2009-10 season.A hospital drama based on the stories of dysfunctional but fun to watch staff. The gimmick of this particular version is that the three primary characters are nurses instead of doctors. It is also timely because the lead is an Iraqi war vet suffering from various levels of PTSD. There are regulars who are doctors too, of course, as well as family and love interests. | |

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents | |
| Mercy / int_1434e55c | comment |
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: At least in Veronica's mind. Mother is Lady Drunk and father is a bit of a Cloudcuckoolander due to the onset of Alzheimer's. She loves them though. | |

The Stoic | |
| Mercy / int_1c5002bc | comment |
The Stoic: Dr. Ron Harris frequently comments of futility of actions and just dealing with what is in front of you. He is less interested in why's or what if's. This sets him up to break bad when his wife is brutally murdered. | |

It Never Gets Any Easier | |
| Mercy / int_22711892 | comment |
It Never Gets Any Easier: While mostly played somewhat realistically, this trope is invoked as a doctor decides there will be no more death on his floor after his wife is brutally murdered. Dr. Harris decides to go to war against death itself going to ridiculous lengths to keep patients alive. He fails after a few episodes. | |

Badass Bookworm | |
| Mercy / int_26a2ab1d | comment |
Bad Ass Book Worm: Chloe is presented as being top of her class in nursing school, arguing with doctors on proper treatment from a technical standpoint, and generally the most technically knowledgeable of the three main nurses, if least experienced. That has not stopped her from chasing potential rabid rodents and killing them with IV stands, complete with battle cry, or spraying down brawling ER patients with a fire extinguisher. | |
