Real Doctor Reacts to Scrubs || Season 1, Ep 4

Join me as I react to scrubs episode by episode and give you a real doctor's take on the series!
I am really loving this show so far and am excited to continue to watch more episodes!
Watching this video back, I realized there was something that I really would like to have commented on, but I didn't... The patient who was Spanish speaking, when they first introduced her, Elliot said she had Lupus and came in with shortness of breath. Her plan was starting heparin and getting a VQ scan. This was something that just was natural for me to hear, so I didn't even think to comment on it in the moment! Lupus is a disease that makes you more prone to clotting. Elliot was concerned for a clot in her lungs, which is why she started an anticoagulant (heparin) and got a VQ scan, which is a scan of her lungs to help evaluate for a clot.
Love you guys :)

    Scrubs is an awesome show. It's listed as a "comedy", but it's so much more. It does have some good life lessons in it. It often deals with really serious subjects with a touch of humor. There are also some just plain goofy episodes, so not every one will be deep. There are 4 or 5 really deeply emotional episodes. Enjoy watching it! I look forward to seeing your next reactions!

    I just realized that your very accurate description of Scrubs also describes another show listed as "comedy": Bojack Horseman. Beneath the veneer of animated animals doing human things, the scripts often deal with incredibly serious and traumatic events such as addiction, abuse, neglect, and death

    The 1 in 3 death rate thing might be wrong but I do love how they use it to set up your expectations (three patients in peril, one will die) only to subvert them by having all three die to really gut-punch you. This is easily one of the best episodes of Scrubs, but there are sooooo many great ones still to come.

    Ah! So glad you loved this episode. Scrubs, despite being a comedy, is so good at hitting those emotional moments. When the script for this episode was first written, the network wanted the show to change the ending so that all three patients lived, so the show stayed lighthearted. But the showmakers insisted on doing it this way. It really sets the mood for the rest of the series imo

    A couple of interesting things about the Janitor: In season 1 he was originally supposed to be just a figment of JD's imagination. He wasn't supposed to interact with anyone else (although he does in two episodes) The other quite amazing thing is that most of Neil Flynn's lines in later seasons are pure improv. The script would just say like "Janitor says something mean to JD" Love your vids Dr Crystal. Always look forward to watching them and hearing your insights

    Yeah I feel this one, I’m a dialysis machine technician, I’ve seen what some patients have to go through. When a new employee asked me what is the most important thing to learn in the job was? I said to be good at talking to people, not just small talk (even though that’s very important) but real communication, especially about things the patient maybe interested in. For some of my regular clients (I don’t say patients as I am not a doctor or nurse) I even read up on things, like a lady I have to visit quite often I read up on embroidery as she was one of the last hand stitched embroidery craft persons in the area. So I read up on the history of it, it’s so important that we try to make people smile when we can as unfortunately that smile doesn’t last all that long with what they need to go through. Some jobs are just that, jobs, some are careers and others still are callings. After all wouldn’t we all want to be afforded the same consideration when it’s us on the receiving end.

    Sometimes, patients have such amazing spirit! My best friend since high school contracted Reactive Arthritis (Reiter's Syndrome) at age 20. By age 50, he had two hip replacements, a knee replacement, and was starting to experience organ failure. He lost two kidneys, got a donor from a nephew but lost that one to infection. He was still working as an electrical engineer and doing peritoneal dialysis every night. In his last phone call with me before entering hospice, he actually said, "You know, Randy, overall I think I've been pretty lucky." I am still in awe of his words and his spirit. Thank you for these reactions. They're great!

    All the respect to people like Mrs. Tanner who realize when it's their time and are ready to go. Dragging life on at any cost will just end with you getting dementia and lying in a bed being treated like a baby again with no idea what's around you any more. That's more horrifying to me than the idea of dying at my full mental capacity. This show has some REALLY great serious and emotional moments. I think it even won some awards for how it deals with death. No worries about how frequently you get to watch these. You have a lot on your plate right now. Real life comes first. Best of luck to you.

    Not everyone necessarily gets severe dementia, although it's obviously higher risk factor as you age... It has been over 20 years since this episode aired and I wonder if the expectation of quality of life past 80 was a bit lower back then. 74 does seem pretty young to just say "I'm ready" now with no obvious disability. But maybe she has constant back pain and frequent arthritis flare ups and her memory is less sharp than her personality these days, and she just has been putting on a chipper face until now.

    The funny thing about the Janitor (and to pay attention to in the first season) is that he was supposed to be a figment of J.D.'s imagination, which if memory serves me right, is why no one else really interacts with him. But Neil Flynn (the actor who played the Janitor) was so funny with his lines, which were mostly ad libbed that they decided to make him a "real" character in season 2.

She really was a great character actress. Spoiler alert: Her character, Karen McCluskey, had another on-screen death in DH, this time even more emotional than the one in "Scrubs" because the actress herself died shortly afterwards.

Also I've seen Scrubs many many times, but I just started working full time in long-term care and this was the first time this episode has made me cry. I understand the bond that healthcare workers make with their patients so much more than I did when I first saw it.

    I read for the first season of scrubs they just had doctors come in and tell funny stories and wrote episodes around them. Season 1 is definitely more realistic than the rest of the show. It shifts to a character driven drama with the hospital just there to give the characters something to do. On a related note the show House was written off cases from hospital morgues where doctors failed to diagnose an illness which is why all the cases are so over the top.

I always crack jokes even in the worst of situations (in fact, that's when I crack the most jokes) and try to make my doctors laugh. Most of them do but I've met one or two that had the bedside manner of a brick. My first surgery that I had as (what I consider) an adult, it was my release day and I had Queen "I Want To Break Free" playing on my phone on repeat. Maybe not the exact right time to do it but the other patients in the room didn't seem to mind.

My grandma died when she was 83, and for several years before that had said she was ready, husband had died long ago, friends had passed, both kids and her grandkids and grown up. Sometimes you just know. A Nurse literally saved my dads life, a young DR, not an intern, but still very young, had decided he just had a virus and was going to send him home w/meds. When he left the room the nurse said your dad isn't going anywhere I'm still on shift after he leaves and i'll get the next Dr. to admit him; he was in the ICU the next morning and in a coma the next afternoon.

    There is really nothing I can say about this show that basically wasnt already said .. so I just repeat it :). It's really just amazing. Also watched it several times, years ago .. it's light but meaningful. It's funny, it's goofy, serious, you can laugh , you can cry, the cast is amazing the stories are great .. the soundtrack is spot on .. they just talk about certain things in such a way, it feels like as if these episodes somehow always "know what to say and how to say it". It's just a really cool show :). Looking forward to the next episodes. I really enjoy your videos and medical input.

    This was the episode that solidified this show as an all time great for me. What kind of comedy has the guts to kill 3 people in a bittersweet way in just the 4th episode ever? I said it on one of your other videos, but this is why I'm glad you're watching in order so you can get the context of not just where the show is, but where these currently young doctors are in their medical journey. It's interesting to see how they grow as time goes on.

    Scrubs is one of the shows I will always go back to watch, this episode alone was nominated for awards on its own merit. The episode that gets me the most is when Dr Cox loses 3 people and goes off the deep end a bit.

    I love Scrubs, and so much is silly and fun. But when they pull out the emotional stuff, I don't think any show does it better; definitely no comedy I have ever seen. My Old Lady is definitely a top 10 episode in the series. Trust me, you will grow to love this show more and more as you start to really get to know these characters. Dr. Cox is definitely a complicated character you grow to really love as the show goes on. You realize he truly does care a lot. My favorite episode in Season 1 is My Fifteen Minutes... it is fantastic.

    I didn't want to say too much when she criticized Cox for being very intimidating/unapproachable as an attending, especially Elliot, since that's a developing thread. My mind was instinctively trying to defend him or explain how he's really great. And then realized, you know what, just let it play out. The characters are complex enough not to need a quick answer or simple judgement.

    Still one of my absolute favourite shows. The script actually comes from a diary of a medicine student until resident, who the producer knew (they were roommates in college). He didn't even change the names (the "real" Dr. Turk is a white guy by the way - which I find very funny). And it wasn't filmed in a studio. It was done in an old hospital, so the shots aren't those typical wide-screen, perfectly lit frames, but everything is a little more cramped, which makes it feel less fake. And of course the more realistic part of patients actually dying (quite a lot of characters die during this show, from sidecharacters to main ones) and not them just being "the heroes in white" that save everyone.

    I remember watching this when it first aired on NBC. And at first, I thought it was a pretty funny sit-com. It was silly, semi-brainless, entertainment. And then this episode hit... And I realized I was watching something far better than I could ever had expected. This show gonna get super real. (And then... "My Lunch.")

    If I recall correctly, this was one of the first times that the show veered away from comedy. Ultimately, it led to the show having some more serious moments in later seasons, which I think it handles beautifully.

    1) About people calling out doctors that look and are young... I just can't, for the life of me, figure out why people would think it's appropriate to do so. On my honeymoon a bunch of years ago, as one of the pilots shows up to board the plane, he sits near us for a bit. Dude looked like a straight up teenager to the point that my wife and I noticed but didn't say anything. Some... guy sitting around us, possibly drunk, felt the need to ask him if he was our pilot and then tell him how young he looks. The pilot wasn't too thrilled based by the look on his face. 2) About Spanish. I every now and again tell people that we as Americans should know at least a little bit of Spanish. Of course there's a certain type of person who really doesn't always appreciate that. I'm talking about red in the face levels of irate, lol. But I interact with hundreds of people a day, and Spanish 100% helps me out. It just makes interactions easier.

    Scrubs is just writing Genius. Say what you will about Zachs later work, he was brilliant as JD. What I adore most about this show, is how well they use licensed music when you compare it to how some other shows and movies squander good songs. Just look at Hallelujah here, and compare it to the absolute disgrace of having it used in Watchmen.

  • @jerodast

    Hm, I wonder what version of the music she'll be getting in some of the other episodes. I still think it's criminal not to at least notify that music has been replaced when series like this are moved to different platforms/formats... I admit, I forgot Watchmen even used Hallelujah, since, yeah, that scene was probably the worst of the movie. Personally I think most of the other big musical moments were unusually great, but it's certainly a divisive movie :)

    I forget if they explain it in this episode, but they do make a point in some episode that most of their patients are older adults who are in and out all the time. So if somebody might be admitted 20 times over a few years, 33% doesn't sound like much.
