Royal Pains	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Royal Pains is a summer series airing on USA Network about medical genius Hank Lawson (played by Mark Feuerstein) who makes a decision triaging "some kid off the street" and saving him over a billionaire trustee, whom he had declared stable and subsequently died. The resulting legal backlash makes him lose pretty much everything he has, including his fiancée due to the emotional difficulties, and is blacklisted from any medical position even remotely worth his skills.His brother Evan Lawson takes it upon himself to cheer his brother up by organizing a trip to crash a South Hampton party, which would be a party God would be at "If he could get in." By a twist of fate, Hank is around when a party attendant has an allergy attack and proves himself better able to handle these on-the-spot medical emergencies than the local concierge doctor.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Hank receives an offer to replace the older concierge doctor by the enigmatic German multi-billionaire Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz, but he has some reservations about taking such a position because it cateurs exclusively to the wealthy (many of whom are very self-indulgent and self-absorbed). After discussing the issue with a newfound friend, the Hampton Heritage Hospital administrator Jill Casey, Hank takes up the job. Evan helps manage the finances of "Hank Med", and Physician Assistant Divya Katdare is his very savvy assistant.Each episode is about Hank making house calls and dealing with the eccentricities of this obscenely rich community. As with other USA shows with a strong episodic premise, around 2012, the show has occasionally moved away from pure Patient of the Week storylines and focused on more overarching drama and story in order to develop the characters and introduce future conflicts and plots while wrapping up older ones.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The show concluded in 2016, after eight seasons on the air. This also marked the end of USA Network's "Blue Sky" era of family-friendly programming and a transition to more adult-oriented fare.

Interestingly, the professions of the seen Lawsons are incredibly stereotypically Jewish: Doctor (Hank), accountant (Evan), and shyster (Eddie). All you need is a lawyer and an academic and you have the Jewish home run. Lampshaded/played with in the episode where Evan and Paige get married. She reminds them that it's the first day of Hanukah... and is surprised that all three Lawsons not only didn't remember that it was, but don't even have any of the trappings with which to observe.

Royal Pains / int_2d9e89f7	type	We Help the Helpless
Royal Pains / int_2d9e89f7	comment	We Help the Helpless: In addition to making house calls for the rich, Hank regularly treats the town's lower class residents at no cost. This is often because these people cannot afford a private doctor under regular circumstances, and because they must dig through a mile of red tape to get treatment at the local hospital. For bonus points, a smaller-scale version of this resulted in his blacklisting. The kid was in critical condition, while the rich guy was apparently stable. Until he died, Hank had no reason to suspect there'd be complications. And as of "Mano a Mano," Hank's hospitality extends to people who could be considered enemies of the state in Cuba. Due to the wealth (or lack there of) of some of Hank's clients, he occasionally gets paid in other ways. For instance, a fisherman pays Hank in fish. Evan, to his credit, has no problems with that and in 3x15 upon noticing a number of fresh fish in the refrigerator, asks if said fisherman is okay.

Royal Pains / int_52d1f46e	comment	Not What It Looks Like: In the season one finale, Jill goes looking for Hank to tell him something important. She finds him getting a palm reading, and from a distance it looks like they're doing something intimate. She's actually flirting with him after he just told her he's not interested in a relationship. Jill walks away without either of the two lovebirds "noticing". A staggering amount of drama in Divya's life is this, on both sides: After having a fight with her father due to him trying to completely wipe out all traces of his wife's existence from his life and refusing to talk to her even though she was willing to reconcile, Divya came back to find her father face down in the pool. He fell in from the 2nd floor balcony trying to spray a bees nest and had an allergic reaction. When Divya leaves Sashi alone in the car to quickly help a person in need, the police assume she left her there to go shopping when they see the bags. Without the person there to vouch for her, Divya's arrested when she resists them taking Sashi and the story's spread on the Internet out of context.

It contains C4 ("because you never know when you'll need a stable plastic explosive"). Worth noting is that USA does this a lot with commercials for all of their shows. There's a crossover commercial with White Collar, too, though when the summer 2010 schedule got locked down they've been cross-promoting with Burn Notice since they both come on on the same night. A new set in late 2010 started pairing Hank and Evan with Kate Reed from Fairly Legal. In a 2012 crossover commercial, Neal praises Hank's set up as consignment doctor but wonders how he can keep up being a fake doctor. Hank dully points out it's probably a talent he picked up during all those years of medical school. Neal praises his willingness to go for that long of a con.

However, it's not like she couldn't call it off or she hates the guy (he's kind of clueless and cheerful, actually); she's simply not certain she should be married to him. In the season two finale, it's officially called off. Ironically, they do marry each other, it's just by their own choice.

The dead man's family turn out to be the hospital's biggest donors and they use this to force the hospital to fire Hank even though medically he did nothing wrong. Since they also donate money to all the major hospitals in New York, Hank is blacklisted from working as a hospital doctor.

Royal Pains / int_e1f59bf0	comment	Musical Episode: The penultimate episode of the series “The Good News is...” is this. Justified as it’s from the point of view of the hallucinating patient-of-the-week. As an added bonus, the full title sequence returns for this episode and now the lyrics are sung by the cast

Royal Pains / int_e5e6640b	comment	Flanderization: Evan turns into more of an idiotic jerk as the series goes on. This is actually a plot point, as he mentions in 1x11 that the Hamptons are "changing" him.

Royal Pains / int_f05444a4	comment	Once per Episode: Hank often has a habit of asking patients how bad their pain is in a scale of 1 to 10, which the patients telling them how his grading system is grossly inadequate. Inverted in "Hank and the Deep Blue Sea" when Jack asks Hank how bad his screw up is on a scale of 1 to 2.

Royal Pains / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: Everyone seems to use Apple computers. Blatant in the episode "It's Like Jamais Vu All Over Again" with Jill's new car. In 2x14, "Pit Stop", Evan hands Hank a prominently placed box of Wheaties™ ("Breakfast of champions!") while he dines on Fruity Pops. Emma's constant mention of Auto Trader is painfully obvious. Made worse when Evan and Paige give a stilted reaction to her bringing it up while confessing that she lied to them...again.

Royal Pains / int_faa71569	comment	Romantic False Lead: Jill's ex-husband. In a nice variation, he's a pretty nice guy, not all that different from Hank himself. He does have one glaring flaw; his near-delusional refusal to accept Jill's leaving him could be seen as stalkerish.

The main characters are allowed to use Boris' guesthouse (initially rent-free but later Hank insists on paying some rent) due to his gratitude towards Hank. After Boris' faked death, Dimitri allows Evan and Paige the use of the main house... for free.

Royal Pains / int_fb56b948	comment	My Sister Is Off-Limits!: Subverted in "Keeping the Faith." Donald instructs Evan to take his sister/manager "to a nice restaurant, a place where a gentleman would take a lady." So the little sis is not off-limits, so long as you act nice. To be fair, Donald is also over 7 feet tall and about 300 pounds of muscle so...

(The son in question just wants to play football.) Then the wife, with a gleam in her eye, notes to Hank that her daughter standing up to her took almost...Presidential leadership. The looks on Hank and Divya's faces are hilarious.

All of this he used to save a hemophiliac who had internal bleeding from a car crash.
