I thought the first episode was so insightful, I couldn't really fault it, so I just spent the whole time comparing it to my first day, hope you enjoy! I will revisit this series, so what was your favourite Scrubs moment?

"Her? She's dead. Write this down newbie: Push around a stiff. Nobody will ask you to do anything." --- Dr. Cox It still gets me

Alright, now tell me how close to the truth Doctor Who gets.

Totally agree with your assessment of Scrubs. My kids always asked me which show was the most accurate and I always said Scrubs. It does a great job of showing what it's like to be a resident (junior doctor) and how doctor's really act and what they talk about behind the scenes. And the relationships between the doctors and nurses was also the most accurate - NEVER piss off a nurse, if you treat them well they'll go out of their way to help you but if you piss them off God have mercy on your soul. And.i always loved doctor Cox - I had a lot of attending physicians like Dr Cox. In the beginning they intimidate the hell out of you and then you get to know them and you start to learn from them and respect them. But you never respect the tools 😉

By far, the most important tip I learned as a junior doctor, was to make alliances with NURSES! Nurses can either make or break your day. They'll either cover up some of your mistakes or embarrass you in front of everybody during ward rounds. And if they really hate you, they'll page you to come back from home to clean up your mess. Those were the days...

Whether you're into medicine or not, that's what Scrubs' pilot does to you (when you pay attention to it, that is): it gets you hooked right away. It has an authentic feel to it and characters are fleshed out from the get go. This show was brilliant and I miss it every day. ps: thanks for this Dr Hope. It was awesome.

My uncle is a doctor and he’s told me that he can’t watch scrubs due to how accurate it is and how much it relates to his first years of being a doctor

Veterinarian here. During clinical year as a vet student I will never forget this quote from Dr. Cox. I had just come off of one of the harder rotations and had a lot of patients get euthanized or die under our care. "Everything we do is just a stall." His point was sometimes losing patients is not in our hands and while it is a bit dark I also find it somewhat comforting.

When I was at a hospital induction for volunteering, they played a clip from scrubs to make a point about infection risk & control xD

A couple of other things I noticed that they really got right over the course of the series were a). most of the patients are elderly, and b). most of the work is a lot of little things, with occasional big emergencies.

My sister, who is a doctor, said that of the medical shows she's seen, scrubs was the most accurate in terms of how hospital life is and the way patients are

Scrubs is the best show ever

From an old and decrepit doctor: Excellent analysis. The paracentesis scene also shows the difference between surgeons and medics in that, while JD is is hesitating, Turk just grabs the chance to do an interventional procedure. Surgeons need to be proactive (? aggressive) even from their training period. I have seen most of the medical shows. Scrubs is the show which keeps the things mostly funny without getting too complicated on medical side. It does not get repetitive, unlike some other show I can mention. You gained a sub and keep up the good work ( both as a doc and youtuber).

As a fellow M.D (clinical Psychiatry) Scrubs is extremely accurate in terms of the emotions you experience through your career. The most accurate moment for me was when Dr Cox had his patients die and how he handled it.

Fuck..... i miss scrubs. A show that can make you laugh, cry, contemplate some of life's deepest questions.... dont get shows like that often enough

Scrubs is by far the most poignant and accurate description of being a junior provider. My first day of anesthesia rotations I was terrified knowing I would be expected to induce, intubate and maintain a patient throughout surgery all while being quizzed by the attending CRNA or anesthesiologist. It gets better.

12 years in the hospital, 10 years is a nurse's aid, now 2 years is a nurse I always thought that this was one of the more accurate representations of what it's like working in a hospital. It's almost comical but an insanely dark way sometimes.

10/10 he did the shave foam bra thing

I'd be really intrigued to see your take on the emotional breakdowns in the series. Probably the main one being when Dr. Cox loses his cool after he keeps not being able to save patience

Creator Bill Lawrence said that much of the first episode (and early episodes, but particularly the first) was because a bunch of his friends had just become doctors and he was using many of their stories to form the content.

Scrubs is one of my favourite shows ever. I'm glad you reacted to it! :)

Doctor Cox wasn't being serious when he said just throw pills at the patient, he was just annoyed that J.D paged him for something so trivial as how much tylenol to give a patient. If Doctor Cox thought for a second J.D would follow that crappy advice he would have fired him or recommend he be let go. Great job on the video btw hope you do more scrubs :)

fun fact, they actually had a number of doctors on hand for accuracy. some charcters are even named after them. jd and molly clock are two examples and im pretty sure there's a third but i cant recall at the moment.

This video is fantastic. Never stop sharing personal insights. That was the best part

I would love to see a whole Scrubs Series of videos haha, I love scrubs and it would be interesting to hear what you have to say about some of the episodes.

Do you have a Janitor at your hospital that devotes his life to ruining yours?

In the U.S. I believe that Scrubs was touted as the most accurate medical show.

I love scrubs! Never gets old

Just randomly had this show up in my recommended feed. This was absolutely amazing to see. Thank you for posting this video. Honestly I really enjoyed that you relayed the reality of your own first day, and how interesting it is to see that JD on Scrubs was seemingly portrayed so well. Now onward to watch your other videos, because this was awesome.

What I love most about your reviews is that you literally explain everything related to Medicine. What I would deeply request you is for review of every episode of House MD, The Good Doctor and Scrub(just for the sake of humor) because these Three have lot of content related to Medicine which I want you to explain for every Episode- I know it's to much to ask -but compared to any other medical drama show these two are much academic.

“I remember being really slow when asked to put a catheter in” I SHOULD HOPE SO!!

JD is actually based on a real doctor that was friends with the writer of the show ^ ^ the scene with the abdominal fluid was actually based on a real life situation :D

Great video! I get the feeling you're a really lovely, empathetic Doctor. We're lucky to have dedicated professionals like you in the UK.

This just popped up as a recommended video because I love Scrubs so much. Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed it.

I love this channel, it's so pure

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE!! Scrubs was and still is to this day my absolutely favourite show and made me want to be a doctor all through my childhood. I eventually decided to study biology/genetics (because I realised that almost throwing up at the sight of blood isn’t the best issue to have for a future doctor) but I still love the show and couldn’t wait for you to tell us how accurate it is. Please please please do more scrubs episodes. Hell, do the entire show I‘d watch all of it!

And once again ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO !!! Well done 👍 it’s so awesome to keep seeing your channel growing, and l can never wait for the next video! These make me want to become a doctor! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK here and in the hospital!!!

First video ive seen of yours, and it was fantastic, i love scrubs and hearing your professional opinion of the medical side of the show and it reaffirmed my love of it. As others have stated id love to hear your breakdowns of other scrubs episodes. +1 subscriber :)

This made me want to rewatch Scrubs. Have all seasons on DVD, but I'll never rewatch Season 9 - as far as I'm concerned, it never happened, as the 8th season had the perfect end of the series and the 9th just ruined it.

I think this remains my favourite medical show to this day. Everything feels so relatable even outside of the medical things, but then I heard it was even more relatable if you were in the profession. Highly enjoyed the review - it's good seeing it from a medical pov. I'll have to watch the rest of them :)

Brilliant stuff! Would love to see more on Scrubs, if you have the time :)

This video has made me start rewatching Scrubs and I still love it. I honestly think that a full review of the series, few episodes at a time maybe, would be beyond awesome.

I came back from 12h shift... one thing that I wanted to do was go to sleep... and then I saw that You posted this video... I changed my priorities!

I love these, some great anecdotes in there. It’s always interesting to hear everyone’s first experiences on the ward!

In the UK we don't have any additional beds for 'getting it on'

I have only watched a few episodes of Scrubs... However after this wonderful insight in to how much that the writers have put in to the show... I think I am going to have to have a go at watching the entire thing now. Thanks Dr. Hope !!!

I can empathize so much with some of the experiences you talk about, as well the feelings the show displays about that first day on the job and just feeling nervous and vulnerable as hell. And it doesn't matter what else you've done in your life or what experiences you've had, either, you still feel that way. Especially with doing procedures for the first tie. (Or first hundred times or so, as the case may be.) One of the guys in my class of students was a former Army sergeant who'd been in the military for something like 12-15 years, been to war in all kinds of shitty situations, he and the guys from his squad would collect their own blood so they could do autotransfusions if need be, but put him in a position where he'd have to draw blood from someone else and those nervous hand jitters would start as adrenaline kicked in and the stress of messing up starts getting to you. Someone else I went to school with used to do maintenance on the Navy's mines, floating underwater opening them up, knowing a single wrong move and shed be dead. And yet when it came time to do the internship, she literally said at one point "War was easy. THIS SHIT is hard."

Awesome video and awesome guy! I absolutely love Scrubs! One of my favorites! Xx

Thank you for this, have always enjoyed Scrubs and this just helps to love it more. Now for another binge.

Love Scrubs and I've been loving your videos! I thought you could maybe do a video on the top 5 hardest medical skills to master? e.g intubation, cannulation etc... Just an idea. You're one of my new favourite channels!!

I freaking love your videos about medical dramas. Nicely done!

Love these reaction vids. Great point you made about it being more character driven, allowing the medical stuff to be more routine and accurate. Was hoping you'd mention the backwards x-ray that appears on the title/intro of each ep.

I love these videos. They feel so personal and honest.

Scrubs IS my favorite show of all time, and i've heard from a lot of people that it's the most accurate medical show of all time. I've never seen anyone really dig into it and explain how. I hope you make more of these. its always great to revisit Scrubs. and my favorite scrubs moment was the finale, the last 10 minutes. After watching the entire show, seeing all of the characters again as he walks that hall, gets me everytime. Not to mention the final montage. Every single time .....even though i've seen it hundreds of times over the last 8 years (may be an exaggeration, but not as much as you may think)

I have watch all of your videos within a day, and i am obsessed.

Mate this was so much fun to watch and you come across very well. Cheers

This was a fun and informative video. Thanks for making it!

Thanks for this video, calmed me right down before my exam in the morning 😊

I love your content! You are very good at expressing your mind. Good job

I love your review. I had heard the same thing from my sister-in-law. A lot of what I saw in Scrubs was stuff I saw with my first years in teaching when I didn't know what the ----- I was doing.

My favorite aspect of the video was, how things related to your experience. I've seen Scrubs, I know what happens, but I watched this because I find you and your story compelling, great job, sir!

This was great! Scrubs is one of my all-time favorite sitcoms. Interesting to get an actual doctor's take on it, learn a bit of actual medical know-how, and just get some insight into your personal experiences in the medical field. Like you said, doctors are people like everybody else.

It was great. I always loved Scrubs, i'm glad to hear so many people loved it too. And now i like it even more, after finding out it was so accurate. Thank you.

I love your videos so much. Keep up the awesome job!!

Great vid thanks Doc!

thanks for the reviewwww. forever favorite medical series :))

This was very fun to watch. Thank you!

This is my new favorite channel. Keep doing "Scrubs" eps. I like your opinion on the show. This makes me feel more comfortable about Doctors as well.

Are we just gonna gloss over the fact the JD put a penny in the door?

I've just started watching Scrubs because of your videos. It's both hilarious and harrowing. The honesty about life, death and, I'm sure, being a medic, is raw. Thank you. Ps, I love your commentary on these 🤗🙏

I really really enjoyed this. Not just because it was fun but because scrubs helped kind of bridge the experience gab helping to relate to his actual experience. I don't think he will but I hope he will do another episode of scrubs some time. I would like to explore and hear about some more aspects beyond the first day. Thank you : )

This was fascinating! So cool to get some insight from your perspective. Liked & Subscribed.

Awesome! Glad to have found this channel

It's such a relief that you like it! My dad's a doc and said it was the most accurate. I love the series and have watched all the way through multiple times 😊

it's so hilarious, but two my faourite moments are speeches about how lomly you can be in a world full of people, and about Eliot been a doctor, if she doesn't need a job. And absolutly like, how they maid fun of House)))))

I’ve just started hepatobiliary week - your explanation of ascites was incredibly clear, thanks!

Awesome video mate! Gave a good insight into real hospital life, you're a wonderful human to dedicate your life to saving others. Subscribed for more!

First vid of yours I've seen. Very good! As a mostly-retail worker who's been through 7 armed robberies can tell you, I *understand* there are things in occupations that *only* someone IN that can critique or laugh at. But our empathy has been upped.

incredible show, great explanations!

Your explanation about the bit where you had to go back to being a normal person after confirming a patient passed away made me understand a bit better why doctors are generally quite well paid. Like you said, it's highly charged and I imagine highly stressful. Thank you for making these videos, they're really interesting. Personally, I'd love to see more House "reviews"!

The funniest part of Scrubs, I think, are the inner monologues the characters have throughout the entire episode, every episode!

Awesome, I love your videos!

Though I only have an average interest for medicine, Scrubs are one of my favourite shows and I really liked this video! Your passion and knowledge of medicine, mixed with your personal stories and interesting anecdotes made this beyond great. I'd love to see you do The Night Shift, I like the show for entertainment but I don't really know how accurate it is. Would love to hear your opinion on it!

Glad I got notified so quickly, gimme that medical fix. I miss house :(

I know you're super busy (being a doctor and all), but I would love it if you did other episodes too! Especially the first several episode of season one. My Old Lady would be super cool!

I love this series. Keep it up

You tube recommended this to me. How has this happened. I literally could not believe what i was seeing when you started talking. Amazing. Your biggest fan. Layts

you have the most relaxing voice in the WORLD if you were my doctor i would never be scared to get a shot again

Love your videos. I work in Canada as a Medical Services Aid, I handle supplies, some portering, running labs and supplies during codes, clerical work, non medical work on the unit. I find it strange to see doctors doing procedures like IV's, catheters, EKG's, blood work, etc they are done by nurses or technicians here. Is it different in the UK? Also you are so right about how quickly you have to move on from tragedy and what it does to you. Scrubs did a great episode about it. Dr Cox shows another doc telling a family that their love one has died. He makes the point that no one else in that room will be going back to work that day, but the doctor will get back to his shift. I remember working in Labour and Delivery and another MSA came in to have her baby, we had known each other for years and her baby was born with cranial stenosis and nearly died, they rushed her to the NICU where she was ventilated. I had to go set up the birthing room next to hers. I could hear her sobbing. Happy news she just turned 5 two days ago.

You really should continue to watch the show !!! During college I never understood how everybody was so respectful, almost scared of the radiographer... but now working in the MRI I can definitely see myself jumping up and down screaming MY MACHINE at the top of my lungs 😂

I think you're my new favourite youtuber... I absolutely love your videos! I'm a psychologist now, not a doctor but I've worked as a medical assistant in a hospital for a few years. :D

Always thought that scrubs is amazing. Good luck doc. Nice vid

I love this show and Netflix doesn’t have it anymore 😟😟😫

Loved this show... I think I will watch it again ❤️

This is incredibly insightful and interesting! Found you channel by accident, but damn you've earned yourself a subscriber!

I know Scrubs had a real doctor on set.

Loved the commentary! New sub here, can't wait to watch your other videos.

Hi Dr Ed 👋🏾 Really enjoy watching your medical reviews. I’m a 5th yr medical student and I’m already freaking out- especially about drug prescriptions and carrying out a procedure for the first time *sighs* oh lord 😄 But watching videos like these and getting this kind of insight into how those first few weeks would probably be like, make me feel much more calm for some reason. So thank you.

I love those videos. Could you do The Knick next ? I love that show, it's so underrated !

Speaking for 'older' patients - read 'mid 30's' - we do sometimes get that jarring feeling that something is wrong with time when the doctor flipping through our charts is clearly 10 years younger than we are. Or possibly actually a medical student. A first year. Maybe a work experience kid. *HOW ARE THEY SO YOUNG..... OH GOD WHEN DID I GET OLD?*
