I actually really love him! Once you understand him, it’s hard not to love him ❤️ he’s not totally heartless… just puts on that facade because he feels like he has to in his position
I can clear up your confusion on the pregnancy age. You might think perhaps it was a minor error, or a necessary error because the actress was actually pregnant, but actually this is medically spot on. You see, man-bat fetuses are substantially larger at 20 weeks.
This was such a good episode. I always like the episodes when Kelso shows that he's such a lonely miserable angry and unpleasant guy because it's what he needs to be to do his job.
Seriously!! Agreed - shows Kelso is still human and exactly why he ends up being miserable. You have to make such tough calls in that position! I just filmed a reaction to “my jiggly ball” which definitely elaborates on that even more! Stay tuned 😊 coming soon!
there is an episode where kelso and cox have a real talk about that, where kelso explains, if he doesnt deny patients care that cant cover the treatment, the hospital goes out of business and then they cant hel anyone anymore
And on the flip side, this other guy was so nice and affable to everyone in the desperate hope that no one would call him out on his serious shortcomings. Indeed, he tries to dodge the issue even in this scene where he is completely cornered.
I will tell you starting out as an EMT and then retiring as a Paramedic after 29 years and 8 months; it was the most difficult thing I have ever done to let me license expire. I had a TBI and had a hard time calculating numbers in my head after that and struggled with working knowing I could hurt or kill someone by calculating the wrong dose of something. I knew I couldn't do the job anymore and recognizing it was the easy part, letting go not so easy.
I love the two Kelso episodes because they really show a different side of his character and what he goes through. Plus you see that for all his flaws, he really does care about the hospital and doing what is best for the patients, even when it sucks for him. I also just like the way he's joking with Townshend near the end but then it gets serious and Townshend keeps trying to joke but Kelso is just stone-faced; big difference between his casual relationship and where he is doing what has to be done.
I'd like to see you react to every single episode in order. This is the best sitcom ever made as far as I'm concerned. The perfect mix of comedy and drama.
I appreciated this episode as a Chronic Patient. Within the past 5 yrs, the physician caring for my chief dx transitioned from office to hospital setting, good news for each of us 😊
Seeing your previous reactions, I think I would love to see your reaction to “my last words” One of the best episodes of the series in my opinion and is from the 8th season of Scrubs
Scrubs is one of my favorite shows, i have really enjoyed watching your reactions to it. I feel like you could just pick any random episode of Scrubs, and it would still be a great one.
Continuing education and keeping up to date was rough enough in my own career (military and then cybersecurity after the first retirement). I can't imagine how difficult it is in medicine. Must be a nightmare.
this episode of scrubs was really good, it shows sometimes you have to make though calls, you might hurt someone or are hated for this but you still have too.
I also think Jordan was hiding or ran away so she could be having a scan so her new OBGYN has all the info. So she could be father along in the pregnancy and still it's her 'first' one
For that closing sentiment about when to retire...there's alao the option of switching to a less demanding subspecialty. It's definitely hard to walk back into the shoes of a relative newbie, but it can be a happier place to land if you love your career, but need to scale back. It doesn't have to be full-throtle or dead-stop.
Question. So in the practice of medicine is there no other options for Dr. Townsend? Keying off his statement that he no longer has the energy to keep up (an aging issue), he can't move laterally (professionally speaking) into some lesser demanding position of medical caregiving and maintain his position of profession status, level of respect commensurate with his age, and decades of experience acknowledging his personal sacrifices? The story implies he was railroaded out of his profession because of his aging and expected to strip off the bronze medical apelets and jacket, then led to the door. I'm pretty sure HR would say that's a form of ageism... but worse is the personal slam for the now "Mr Townsend." Our profession is - in great part - our sense of identity, and this is how society treats our most valued professionals? See where I'm trying to go with this? Perhaps Dr Townsend is trying to cope against this frightening inevitability. Meanwhile society experiences a brain drain by giving our most experienced no other option but a one-way ticket out the door. Not exactly a happy ending for everyone.
Unfortunately, his experience was no longer relevant. Perhaps he could have shifted to an administrative position, but by his own admission he is simply unable to adapt to modern methods. As for ageism, that literally came up in the episode. Kelso can keep up. Townshend can't.
Now that I finally know what a Nephrologist actually does, I'm wondering why they would be going into a vein in the neck? I guess there aren't that many places you have easy access to big veins?
Yes that’s exactly right! There are other options for large vein access but it depends on what it’s for. Some other examples include femoral vein access (in the groin) - but that’s not great for long term access because it’s a dirty area and a high risk of infection. For something like dialysis, people can also have surgery to create a fistula in the arm for better vascular access. All this to say - there are tons of options, but the one in the neck/chest area is a great one because they’re big veins and an area that’s probably the easiest to keep clean in comparison to some other areas of the body where we can access veins long term! 😊 Hope that was helpful!! 💕
Nephrology, relating to the nephrons. Thanks to my human anatomy class I got that! By the way, love the kidneys. I get so excited when you mention a medical term and I get it without having to look it up. Right now I'm studying for an exam over the arteries, veins, lymphatic system, respiratory system and heart 😮
Not weird at all!!!!! I don’t like the old school gender assignments of doctors being male and nurses being female. That’s all BS. All of us can do all of these things and gender should not make a difference! There are lots of patients that prefer nurses of one gender over the other and I think it’s not only awesome but necessary to have all genders in all professions ❤️🙏🥰 you’re rocking it and seriously, keep it up!
@@JessTheMD It is totally out of my comfort zone. my previous BS is actually in journalism and I have been one for 20 years but i'm ready to leave and decided this is just about education. other people learn this stuff, why can't I?
You should watch rhe 90s-2000s show ER seasons 6. Alan Alda guest started in a few episodes starting wjth Green With Envy and ending with Humpty Dumpty. He played a legendary doctor suffering from early stages if Alzheimer's and his mentee had to help him come ti terms with having to retire.
ER has some of my fondest memories of my mum. I'm the youngest of 4 and after the other 3 had left the home it was the only show I was allowed to stay up late to watch. She died in 2002 but I'll always have watching ER together to remember by.
I'm pretty sure my pediatrician fell into the category of this Dr. I remember being like 10, and come in smelling like cigarettes cos he was smoking in his office...as many Drs did lol. Then, he'd go back to his office and look up stuff, then figure out a treatment lol. He retired the next year.
“I’m pretty sure we’re not supposed to do that in hospitals” she’s obviously not worked a medsurg floor as an RN, or CNA/CT, I mean confused mema or pepa walking trying and sometimes succeeding to walk the hallway nude happens at least once a month
Dr, Kelso hade a simular situation in a future season before he was forced to step down as chief of medicine. He was still ontop of how treatment should be done but it was more so hes age. He hade hidden hes true age to ppl for 2-3 years so that he wouldent be forced to retire just becouse he hade reached a specific age. There was nothing showing he couldent do the work anymore other then the hospitals age policy.
Doing nothing can be so satisfying on days off. My first day off, I refer to as pantsfree day. It is often a self enforced day of rest, in which I do my best to avoid situations in which I may be required to wear pants. I close all the blinds and curtains, lock the doors, and make it clear in no uncertain terms, that I don't want to see or hear from any loved one's and especially not anyone not on the loved one's list. After two or more weeks on the road, I need a day of decompression.
Actually, how does new techniques introduce. If a new method discovered any doctor can use it immediately, or there is a higher committee that make sure the procedure is safe and beneficial, and they implemented into the approved procedures? If a new method introduced, who train the staff to do it properly?
Usually, you'll have new procedures/surgical options developed and tested with randomized controlled studies, testing against the gold standard treatment/procedure, and needing to show improved outcomes. Then people will learn them at conferences, and such, then bring them back to their home institution and teach them to others. It's very much a model of see one, do one, teach one in medicine!
Sorry, must have been a mistake 😊 Only the once, and not everyone will rotate through sleep medicine. It's not part of the core residency graduation requirements, so that would be considered one of the elective rotations 😊
My sister had a major back issue that required serious surgery when she was about 13. She had to basically spend the majority of her school year in a hospital bed in the living room of our house, classes on TV (yes, TV - it was the mid-80s). She just went in for a multi-year check up and the doctors basically brought every one in to see how things "USED" to be done and pretty much how medieval and outdated her procedure was, just from 20 years ago. It's amazing how quickly technology advances and funny how even the actual doctor checking my sister's back was like "Yeah, I've heard of these, but I wasn't a doctor when they were still being done." I told my sister she was lucky they didn't do any leeching to make sure her blood was pure....
Haha because that man exudes amazingness and even when people talk about him, it emanates from us too 😝 No but for real, that nephrologist is freaking awesome and is one of the only reasons I miss working in that specific hospital lol
@JessTheMD they are just reacting to the joke they found funny. Common sharing behavior on the TH-cam forums. I liked the joke too. He had literally never looked at her name tag.

A lot of this is making excuses which is why the US has the most medical mistakes of any nation in the world. It's not close either, it's literally 20:1 compared to the second worst nation in the world, Zambia. It's because the perversion of the system where "taking the blame" as a senior is fine because you know, they'll always get away with that but in the meantime, patients die. This isn't some fucking kindergarten, if shit like this happened in any other developed nation there would be two trials, one of them would be a legal trial and that old doctor should probably be ready to spend the rest of his life in jail. I don't get how the US treats medical mistakes as "something that just happens because someone did something wrong and it's no big thing"...

Yay, another Scrubs video. Thanks Dr. Jess! This is a good one.
Thank you so much for the support 🥰 I love doing this!
Scrubs has got to me my all time favourite show, and I love seeing other people enjoy it, too.

It's funny to hear the Cutdown IV described as 'Old School' when we were taught how to do them when I was an Army Medic back in '09 lol
This episodes on my top ten list. Mainly because they got the Man, The Myth, The Legend himself to make a guest appearance in it.

If you enjoy the process of learning, I wouldn’t say it’s a nightmare… 😉
this episode of scrubs was really good, it shows sometimes you have to make though calls, you might hurt someone or are hated for this but you still have too.
The actress was pregnant irl by that time and I guess the timing of the character's pregnancy doesn't correctly correlate with the real pregnancy
