A woman vomits blood onto a doctor's hand.
The movie as a whole is unsettling. There are several scenes throughout the movie that show patients suffering from AIDS. Some may find the medical terminology used in the movie unsettling.
There is a scene where Richard Gere's character is watching the gay Halloween parade from a hotel window and the people in the parade suddenly turn into skeletons. A grim reaper looks up at him through the window. The scene is meant as a dramatic representation of his thoughts, but could be frightening to some.
