Not abused, but a minor animal character is shown doing things bad for its health (e.g. drinking soda and smoking).

It's not on screen but it's heavily implied that Otacon could have been assaulted by Naomi because he did not give a firm "yes" to the implied sex that they had. It's also VERY Implied that the Beauty and the Beast unit were as well.

A character's arm is trapped under rubble. He dislocates his shoulder to be able to reach his blade, which he then uses to sever the arm at the shoulder.

One character breaks/dislocates his enemy's finger to get the item he's holding. Said Enemy quickly sets it back into place, apparently none the worse for wear.

There is very audible torture noises during the Beauty and the Beast fights such as gunshots, crying, screaming and so on and so forth. They are the way they are because of said torture. There is a very descriptive story about their torture/backstories post fights as well.

While it is not technical cheating (it is explained later on it was all a facade for her and her son's protection) after Rose assumes Raiden's death, she gets with Colonel Campbell and acts as his girlfriend or wife.
It can also be assumed if you view Snake and Otacon's relationship as romantic in some way, that Otacon and Naomi's hookup could be seen as cheating. It is not treated as such.

What can only be described as the ghost of a boss fight from a previous game shows up for a few seconds, somehow.

One boss fight pits you against a character who can possess the bodies of others to make them fight for her. Said character is also possessed herself, by a long deceased character from a previous game in the series.

If Solid Snake gets too stressed out during a firefight, he may throw up. He does this once in an unavoidable cutscene, too.

The player character, Solid Snake, must inject himself with a syringe full of nanomachines (technobabble magic) to calm himself down if he gets extremely stressed out in the heat of battle. Other characters do the same, and the player must also fight a boss battle by stabbing the opponent forcibly with a syringe.

Not a hospital, but a doctor's office. Naomi assesses Snake and gives him a physical inside of a house she uses as a doctor's office.

Several characters throughout the story contemplate or make preparations to kill themselves. One character intentionally turns off their own life-saving nanomachines (technobabble magic) and succumbs to cancer.

There is never explicit sex on screen, but sex is implied between Naomi and Otacon. The Beauty and the Beast Unit are also wearing skin tight suits, and there are scenes of them with their genitals focused on by the camera.

There are tanks that often crash into objects. During act 3 (third sun) there is a major fight where you are shooting cars and they are crashing as well as exploding.
