He cares a lot. That's why he stopped "Barbie" Elliot from going on a date and taking care of a patient herself, instead of another guy, who did not know the procedure. That's why he became depressed when he lost patients to rabies and also he gets into fights with Kelso because of the patients and more. He was consequent whenever someone was lazy and ignorant (like Ed), because his Job is to make sure people stay alive

This is why everyone really loves Dr Cox. We all know that he was dealt a terrible hand with his father beating him when he was a child. Perry saw so much suffering in the world that he choose to become a doctor, so that he could try and reduce the suffering by just a little bit, but he needed his ego and arrogance to protect him from what he sees every day, which is innocent people suffering and dying whilst he tries to save them. Cox may be a jerk to the majority of people, but that's the only way he can survive the world that keep dealing him these terrible hands, but at the end of the day, he will always make the right call to advance the push to reduce the suffering.

Don't forget the episode where the girl had rabies and he tried to save like 7 patients with her organs. How to save a life from the fray was in that episode

This video represents exactly 1/2 of why this was the finest show on television. When you weren't busy laughing to the point where you couldn't breath (the other half), something serious would happen, like this video demonstrates, to give you a window into misery: the patients, the health care providers, and the health care providers relationships, in addition to said health care provider's humanity.

It's often the most joyous persons that have the biggest scars

Stunning scene between two incredible actors. The build up to this incredibly dramatic moment is so well done that this is an unexpected twist

This is the brilliance of Scrubs writing where I still tear up at the emotional scenes like this as well as the ending to My Screw Up and My Lunch. It just shows that comedy is more than a laugh factory. It makes you feel.

Moments like this are why Scrubs is the best sitcom ever made. It could have been just a silly romp where JD and Turk have Guy Love and Dr. Cox is always angry and the janitor is insane and everything is a joke, but they chose not to be that way.

No other show can make you go from laughter to tears so fast.

I was a teenager when my mom introduced my to Scrubs and I watched the whole show purely for entertainment. Watching it all again as an adult, I now appreciate all the lessons and messages these episdoes teach while still being very funny. This is the kind of show you have to watch multiple times to be able to appreciate all the novelties it has as an emotional comedy, how it balances laughter and crying.

this was the first episode of scrubs i'd ever watched, it was so sad i had to leave the room so my brother wouldn't see me crying at the end :'( i knew from that moment that i would love scrubs, and i do

You mean his son Jack

I love how Dr Cox plays the cold guy act. But he actually cares about people the most in the hospital. And he is always trying doing the right thing by people. He knew someone that annoyed him was experiencing pain that was like no other. And gritted his teeth to try and make that person feel some kind of affection. It's actually a really telling scene about Dr Cox's. He just wants to be a cold Bastard but he ain't one.

For me this scene and Kelso leaving hospital after deciding who has to die are two best emotional scenes in this show.

Molly Shannon put me to tears. Beautiful performance.

The moment when Cox puts it togeher, you go damn. He ask "what happened to your son"

I can watch pretty much every other scene in those "most emotional moments" Scrubs compilations and be pretty much fine, but this scene f***ing destroys me.

Scenes like this are why I loved this show. You could have the dumbest, silliest shit going on in this hospital, and then in an instant they just get you right in the heart. And I love how almost all the characters experience moments like this, where they put their exaggerated character types aside to just be human.

John's face after realising his misunderstanding... that's pure acting.

Really funny, really sad, then really funny again. You've got to admire the emotional whiplash this show inspires :)

Johnny C is obviously incredible, but I feel like Molly Shannon's performance in this scene is understated, she is SOOOO fucking funny the entire episode, and SOOOOO incredible in this scene. She is up there with some of the greats.

Brilliant acting. Great scene. One of my favourite.

What a brilliantly crafted scene.

This scene, this show always makes sure to show that when someone really needs help that cox drops the tough guy act and takes care of that person every single time, same with JD/Turk and their scenenigans.

Best. Episode. Of. All. Time.

This show made me laugh and cry in equal measure, I absolutely love it.

There's NEVER been a show or film that can send you through the range of emotions like Scrubs. Laughter. Annoyance. Sadness. Admiration. Grief. Relief. Happiness. All in one scene 😂

its so refreshing watching a show that is not afraid to have serious moments really lost in todays so called 'comedies'

Ugh ... that is a tear jerker.

Denise isn't given enough credit for being a hero herself. Her son died, but she admired the people who tried to help him so much, and couldn't stand thinking of that happening to anyone else, that she had to become a paramedic too.

Only Scrubs can make you laugh and cry at the same time. MASH did that a little too but Scrubs perfected it.

One of the best shows ever made, period.

This hits really hard 🥺🥺🥺

@Cesar918 I agree, because this is emotional in a different way than the other "moments". In this one you think that denise is a real pain in the ass all the episode (as dr. cox), but in the ending (at 1:06 and forward in the clip) you realise what has happened at the same time as dr.cox does and that makes you become emotional aswell ;)

Scrubs really had a way of getting to you. Loved the show.

Scrubs really was an amazing show, it managed to make me laugh constantly and then moments like this that are able to make me openly weep the only other show that does this is futurama

THIS is why I love Scrubs so much... It faces the tragedy that happens around us every day. There are other comedy series that I like, but Scrubs is so amazing because it reminds me of MASH sometimes. It blends humor and silliness with love and loss and fear and sadness. Scrubs is one of those magic shows that can have you giggling one moment and sobbing the next. I've seen the entire series a dozen times and I never tire of it.

Now that I have a son myself, I can't watch this without crying. Amazing acting.

Tears.........damn I love this one the most scrubs is a kick ass show

Producers: So is this a drama or a comedy? Writers: Yes

I swear I never feel truly emotional at TV shows but this scene made me so down, close to tears.

Such an unexpected feel fest. Every fucking character in this show has layers.

This show hit hard at times

This fucklng show can make you laugh until it hurts but also make you cry in equal measure. Fantastic show that can never be replicated

When it cuts to her crying in the foreground and Dr. Cox standing in the doorway, is so sad.

This draws parallels with planes, trains and automobiles, when someone is overly chatty to a point where they are annoying, but it is simply because inside they are hurting so so bad.

Right in the soul

Scrubs always makes me laugh then cry

Another classic Scrubs kick in the balls moment.

I still remember this episode enough to talk about it

Great episode.

ive thought of this episode in and out probs last 15 years few times a month, hit so hard, such a good episode, "he died" everyone well some people, i think as normal, have a story, u dont know

You have to be careful when you find yourself laughing hysterically at this show, because that's when they pull the damn rug out from you..

I was crying like crazy

this is so emotional.

I was looking for this clip, for.so.long.. I finally just typed "the paramedic"

How can a show make me laugh and cry at the same MF time!

Great scene.
