As a junior Doctor, Internship is a busy time! and daunting too. As a medical intern myself I thought it was a good time to watch and reflect on how different TV shows portray it.. Here's my reaction to Scrubs - which let's be real - is hilariously funny!

Never apologise for pausing. We have seen scrubs. The reason we watch these reactions is to hear your viewpoint.
Hahaa yesss
Yaaay scrubs
Keep doing episodes. It's a show worth revisiting with medical commentary.
Weird things I've been told in the hospital: "You have a beautiful liver!" -Doctor, "You have wonderful veins!" -Nurse
Just FYI, I noticed your gasp when you saw the interior of the on call room. Not sure if that was about the state of the walls but the production company had just bought a run down hospital about to be torn down, and they didn't have enough time or money to get some of the rooms ready for TV. And even into subsequent seasons you see the odd ceiling tile that's stained or missing.
Woah that’s a great fun fact!! Please keep adding on insights for future episodes haha!
I think some people need moments like what Carla gave Elliot. Elliot crossed a line and Carla was right to tell her that was not ok. Elliot might have kept doing it and Carla is a really nice person but she's not a doormat. And Elliot gets better.
Last week I had a patient that had a temp of 39.9. All her other vitals were fine, I tried both ears. Was going to give paracetamol to bring the fever down. Then thought to check my own temp. 39.9 the thermometer was malfunctions.
I am in no way a medical professional but after watching different reactions of Ep 1 of Scrubs and them pointing out the slight inaccuracies especially with JD, Elliot, and Turk, I think that kind of was the point. It was their first day and as you and many of the medical professional youtube reactors have pointed out, it is quite a scary experience. The first ep was about the experience of ypur first day as an intern. So I think the writers deliberately put the inaccuracies that you pointed out because as first day interns they were bound to make mistakes not because they don't know what to do but because of the fear and anxiety that comes with your first day at work. And you, like the other reactors, did relate to that.
The pilot is the only time when Perry puts his hands on JD. You wont see it again. As the writing got tighter they more strictly defined character traits.
In case anybody was wondering in case anybody still reads these comments. I do find it interesting that Neil Flynn the actor who played the janitor has never spoken a scripted line before. Which in turn means everybody else around him has to improvise which gives a whole new understanding for how brilliant the show is. Seriously if you get a copy of a script? Where the janitor is? It just says Neil says something. Nobody around him knew how he was going to react or respond they have so many takes of so many different things that they just couldn't keep in because there was just so many versions because he never spoke a scripted line a day on the show
The first season was pretty scripted but he would riff a lot, after that Lawrence just trusted him to enhance the episode and stopped writing him lines lol
I don't understand how the rest-work levels are still this out of balance in medicine. You're dealing with human beings' lives and your rest is left up to chance. That is not okay. It is a huge risk-factor.
That was awesome! Watched this show at least 4 times and hearing the stories and opinions from a real doctor makes it so much more interesting :).
Don't be afraid to complement an episode even more with your stories and/or opinions! And don't worry about "going on for too long", that's why we want to watch you watching it :)
Great job, that was really fun to watch, would definitely watch more of this!
(PS. I'm not a real doctor)
Oh thanks so much mate that is so nice to read!!
This was really fun to watch.
Aw thanks so much! Many more to come!!
Thank you for going through the whole episode, so many people skip parts that I would love to see their reaction for. Keep em comin' Doc!!
This was great, I love Scrubs. Some good ones are My Case Study or My Screw-up.
Thanks for the recommendation - I’ll check them out next Regina!!
Loved this reaction! I did have a quick question, though. I'm not sure if it was just in the hospital my sister worked at or if other hospitals do it, but they had this superstition that it's seriously bad luck to say that it's a quiet night on a hospital floor. You can say "tranquil," or "peaceful," but never, under ANY circumstanced, say that it's quiet, otherwise the calls just start flooding in. Any thoughts on that?
Hahaha this is a 100% true superstition that is international. Not even the most senior serious bosses will mess w the q word. NEVER SAY IT. I use the word calm..
That's not even limited to hospitals, same thing at my call center.
Stop apologizing for the pauses. We're her FOR those pauses. ;)
I'm so happy my grandfather passed at home in his sleep in his own bed rather than in a hospital. He was still mentally sharp and surrounded by the entire family when his body finally gave out a few weeks later. I give a lot of love to those doctors that let him come home.
I would hope to age/die like that... still mentally sharp and not in pain or anything. I wouldn't like to die in a hospital.
The alcohol + surgery = no no, gets me everytime 😁
I adore this series, I used to watch it on TV when it was just released. Also, love the fact that you watch the whole episode without cutting any part, can't wait to watch the next episodes with you doc! And have a lovely day you too!
"Australia has public health, so you can treat everyone"
Crys in American 😭
I think most of the doctors that react to scrubs talking about what they do or don't do anymore forget this show started in 2001, procedures and technology has long since changed from back then.
I highly suggest if you can afford independent living homes instead of nursing homes for family members I would highly recommend it I worked at an independent living home and it is way better they don't go into the people's rooms unless there's an emergency there's nothing that they should be doing that is abusive towards your family members the only thing that sucks about it is you have to pay for the nurses to be there because that is your own family's care they don't go into random rooms anything like that it's a lot better if you can afford it I would highly recommend it
I couldn't even do call-center work because the last caller's issue was still in my head when I had to take the next call seconds later. I can't imagine doing that as a junior doctor.
On my first day as a nurse I was TERRIFIED. I'm responsible for people's LIVES? I could accidentally kill someone!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!! But what you actually do is put on the best face you can, spin out the time by looking at their file and say "Hi, I'm Hannah, I'm gonna be your nurse this morning"
My first two jobs were in nursing home kitchens. Can confirm, residents are just in there waiting to die. Even if it's a "good" nursing home.
Just want to say that I love videos like this. My brother in law is a doctor and I discovered Scrubs through him while he was going through medical school. I love seeing Doctors react to this and relate stories. It shows that while Scrubs may get a couple things wrong, there are things that Doctors can definitely relate to. Also, there's an episode with Dick Van Dyke that I recommend since it touches on the big truth that Doctors need to keep up to date with medical developments or they get left behind.
I was just in the A&D, the nurse accidentally hit the Code Blue Button, and ten people ran into the room. It scared me to see people just run in until I knew why. P.S. like the theme song too.
This episode was released twenty years, to the day, before you uploaded your reaction, so, they weren't too worried about Covid-19 occupancy restrictions.
Donald Faison (Turk) and Zach Braff (JD) are actually best friends in real life, so that friendship really registered in this show.
16:41 Oops, continuitity error! The eldely patient has glasses in this shot but not the other shots.
“Early is on time and on time is late.”
That was super fun! i love scrubs and watched it a lot as a teenager, did you watch some more episode? thx fore the nice video .
I really enjoyed how long this video was. So many reactors only show some of the episode. Thank you for a great video.
Worked ER’s for 15 years, registration/insurance/paperwork part. Definitely a close knit team with rotating replaceable unforgettable people. We called that slower hour the “witching hour” because you don’t say the “q” word. That hour could be anywhere between 2-5am depending on the day.
I’ve seen hospital employees eat the worst, oldest, coldest food especially those days you don’t get a lunch break.
A lot of procedures, both medical and corporate, have changed in the last 20 years. Here in the US the difference in private owned and public owned hospitals is the difference in choosing your patients and taking all patients respectfully.
I remember that nurse just going "watermelonwatermelon" when this aired, and now I know what she's saying... healthcare education is crazy.
I love your stuff and your time management to get it all in! Bet your parents are really proud of you - you seem like such a lovely person and I envy your brain capacity. :)
Jesus Christ man, your "fun facts" makes me like afraid as i never was before to ever have a situation like that. :D
Your views on quality of life and the touchy subject on death are spot on. Well said. Oh and like Australia my country Canada has public health too. :)
Comforting to know doctors can't tell if you're asleep or unconscious due to some complication.
"If you're not 5 minutes early you're late."
I did a few semesters of AFROTC in college, and the saying is a bit different but similar message: "15 minutes early is on time." Even now, despite having jobs in multiple jobs from retail to IT, showing up early is just better overall. It gives you a little bit of time to prepare for your day, it alleviates the stress of showing up late, and if you show up early and you're ready for work before you clock in, there's time for a short power nap, or prep talk, or even just a bit of me-time. And that's not including the fact that you're not getting as pissed off in traffic because everyone decided today was the day they were going to go the speed limit. That's gotta be good for your blood pressure at the very least.
I thoroughly enjoyed the personal experience you could relate to the events in the show. Definitely would check out more.
Thanks so much Vu! Would you rather full episodes or highlights, out of curioristy?
So the scorpion asked the frog for a ride across the stream.
And the frog said, "But you'll sting me and I'll die".
And the scorpion argued, "But if I sting you I'll die too"
And the frog thought about it and said, "True" and let the scorpion get on it's back and started to carry it across the stream.
And the scorpion stung him.
And J.D. (and Keith.. and anyone else who trusted her) said, "Why did you sting me! Now you'll die, too."
And she said, "I couldn't help myself, it's in my nature."

I like the actress but the character Elliot clearly was bad news the entire series. And I knew.. the forced "hollywood ending" was going to end in divorce a short time after the series ended. The characters "good" ending was with Keith.
I love Dr. Cox. But I love sarcasm more than anything in the world.
The thing about seeing more "agreeableness" as time goes on is a little too optimistic I think. Maybe things are better in Australia, but with the healthcare system in most of the world, certainly most of the anglosphere, deteriorating from COVID on top of years of mismanagement, burnout is becoming increasingly common. Hospitals almost universally test high-empathy people to destruction. The entire system is morally dysgenic. The ones who last will be apathetic at best and outright psychopaths at worst.
love the detailed explanations man keep it up
I had an Ng tube, I hated it. I kept pulling it out because I didn’t want it, then it had to be put back in, which I hated. I recently did a watch through and I found your videos, I really enjoy them.
“If you’re not 5 minutes early you’re late.”
No, if I arrive 5 minutes early, I’m 5 minutes early. If I’m not paid for that 5 minutes, forget it. I’m chilling in my car until work starts.
With doctors, it’s different, but for most of us, that philosophy is corporate nonsense.
Why have I never watched Scrubs before?! It looks wild funny 🤣
I’ll be checking out heaps of other episodes, so stay tuned!
@@DrSyl Can't wait! Such a fun video!
Scrubs is one of the best comedies ever
my dad was a doctor, and when he was an intern, he brought the nurses cookies to get on their good side.
His number one advice was "don't piss off the nurses"
US medical practices would be considered criminal in Australia and the UK. I can explain, but too fucking tired right now.
Our family has been “self pay” (no insurance) for more than 15 years. We’ve never been turned away from hospitals or denied necessary procedures. Hospitals not only have “self pay” rates, but they also have charity wings that provide financial assistance based on your income level. We’ve had our entire hospital bill covered in the past. You can also negotiate payments and fees. It’s much cheaper than insurance for my family. The evil administrator kicking out patients without insurance is a Hollywood myth that makes for good drama but is not accurate.
This is another reason the Affordable Care Act was awesome. It helped set regulations on hospital billing and self-pay policies. Then the No Surprises Act sealed the right to know how much a procedure woukd cost upfront.
@@squidleyskidley The reason we’re self-pay is because the “Affordable” Care Act made insurance unaffordable.
The chest tube scene brought back terrible memories. I once had thoracic surgery to remove a para esophageal cyst. I woke with a chest tube. It was the most painful thing I ever had.
I usually have a decent pain tolerance. I don't take much pain medication but at that time I didn't turn it down.
Just realised do you like how many cut the scrubs top sleeves shorter (someone made them like a tank top) or wearing a long sleeve top under them (JD)
One of my favorite shows. I suggest watching all the episodes.
It’s not a contentious topic that needs lots of discussion…. Healthcare is a human right, period.
Any psych patient mistakes? I imagine it's harder to communicate with them if there has been an error ❤
You would never take blood from me. Not because you accidentally hit an artery once but because you fished to hit it. Re-stick. Never fish
Scrubs has always Been my favorite medical show I think the funniest memory I have is recovering in the hospital after my first open heart surgery watching reruns of scrubs and noticing how everything was mirroring my reality at that time
39:20 can someone spell the name of the philosopher he mentions? I can’t quite find them.
I remember laughing hysterically at the defibrillator scene first time I saw it.
In that case it sounds like nurses should get some of that sweet doctor's pay.
NG tube feeding with NG tube in lung is not compatible with life. Got it.
Keep doing these my man! I work at the hospital myself too. Just recently started and I love this show and I love watching people watch it and give their feedback. :D
I can't believe you couldn't connect with the vein there's two of them won't bleed out
At my hospital the doctors and nursing staff start at 7
That story of yours at the start "When we said take blood, we didn't mean take it all!" hahaha
Back when he gave us what we wanted….. scrubs
So happy to have stumbled upon your channel! You’re whole review was so well done and fun to watch! Looking fwd to other reviews! 😃
Great so nurses are going to be paid the same money as doctors.
Mum was diagnosed with Metastatic Cancer of unknown origin in May 2013. She passed in August 2013. My stepfather left me a voicemail to tell me my mother had passed at 2:14am. I mean that's the way we all want to hear that a parent has died.....
Oh, jez. What a jerk move on his part. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. How exactly should he have told the person if they didn't answer their phone.
I want a nurse to give me an iv.... not the Doctor
5:00 no way that's true in the USA!
More scrubs!
Dying is not a part of life.
Our daughter had an NG-tube from birth to 1 yr, when she got a g-tube (1-3 yrs, then done). We became pros at putting that tube back in lol
so weird, I came across the Brendan Fraser episode with like death and loss and all and now obvs have to watch all the reactions from the beginning....looking forward to that journey :D
You did a blood take near the Brachial? Even my nurse brain doesn't want to try, to small a target next to a giant target...
Aussie Hospitals/Personal Doctor without risking Bankruptcy for the win!
My employers mostly said either 15 minutes early or you are late. Though by 15 minutes early they mean not arrivign 15 minutes early but being ready 15 minutes early. Gotta squeeze for minutes.
My dad always 30 minutes minimum. If not he will call I am late. He will come an hour early if he picks me up to look at my window to see if I am ready 30 mins in advance, if not he will call I am late or just call to say I gotte go myself because I am late.
Fuccin hate it.
I've been watching all of these Scrubs reactions and I had to comment about the ng tube - so i had a bowel obstruction due to inflammation (with no known cause, i ended up the hospital again bc of inflammation a month ago and they still don't know why, apparently i have C-diff colonization but the infection wasn't active so that wasn't the cause🥲) and i was vomiting profusely so they ended up having to put an ng tube down to drain my stomach. Worst experience ever, it was painful, i vomited twice while it was going down, and then they didn't remove it despite the inflammation going down until i had a panic attack and made them take it out three days later. it was extremely bloody as well. and then i had to tell the nurses what kind of medication they should give me for a panic attack in the midst of it because they were just telling me i could stop having a panic attack bc it was out😓truly a terrible experience lol. thankfully there was also a very kind nurse there for some of the time i was there, which made it easier (sorry for the year late word spam ahh)
I service 4 hospital kitchens and I can say, the patient kitchens aren't that bad but the cafeteria food in one is Top Teir delicious. They used to have a giant hunk of beef cooked perfectly medium rare that they would carve off a huge portion and load it up with freshly made horseradish and your choice of sides for, like, $15. When my mom worked there as a nurse, she'd call me up on those days if she knew I had nothing going on and we'd have lunch together. It was awesome
My dad had a tube to feed him in the final week of his life. He was 54 and had advanced metastasized prostate cancer. In the final few days he couldn't even keep the tube down.
loops of bowel
Loving your reactions Dr. Syl. Question about your artery nick. Why do we not get that from doing an ABG stick?
Hearing you talk about c-sections definitely upped my anxiety with my wife’s c-section coming up soon.
The realization that there absolutely must be at least one case of doctors filling a patient’s lungs with food is not one that I wanted.
I have difficult vains I had to get a iv for antibiotics for a infected cat bite and I had 6 nurses and 1 doctor try and they couldn’t get it so they had to use an ultrasound machine I think to find a vain and hold it there while the nurse put the needle in. At one point they thought they had it and then the pumped saline through but the needle wasn’t in my vain so the saline ran down the inside of my arm and it burned 😅
So with the whole nurses going JD's procedures thing. Pretty sure that's more a statement on pushing work off to nurses, or specialized support roles like phlebotomists, who are already understaffed, overworked and underpaid. I used to work as a phlebotomist at a VA hospital in the US, and the nurses were already at the breaking point with just their work, technically so were we but nowhere near as badly, so whenever a doctor pushed their work onto us it was a lot to deal with.
I think it's a very surface level statement on JD's confidence especially given that that's the biggest moral of this episode
I really enjoyed this reaction and your inputs
Thanks jasmin!
"that attitude's getting flushed now, in the next generations". sounds like it's gonna take a while.
I fell off a horse when I was about 8 and a new nurse accidentally nicked an artery while she was putting in an IV, she nearly had a heart attack I felt so awful for her 😆
Blood test for me is a butterfly between the knuckles. I am a bit hard to get blood from.
I like your comments doc especially the ones that are personal on some level. Kudos on the vids
80s was not the stone age! People knew that smoking was bad!
Scrubs is one of my comfort shows.
Great reaction. Love the stories to relate to the show.
Whoa, is that a young Kal Penn at 3:54??
I was in my clinical year I'd vet school when this show came out, and it was SO relatable!
Ser the season 1 ep 3, I really enjoy it
