@TheJimmy Scrubs...A show I can watch over and over again and it never gets old. (Except for the Pilot and the spin off Scrubs "Med School" )

@TheJimmy Hmmm...You must mean that thing to "Go Out While On Top" and not Fizzle out...... FIZZLE...fizzle...ᶠᶦᶻᶻᶫᵉ

Also remember that this show had a boobies -horn

For a comedy show it has way more heart than Greys ever had

Bob Kelso is making his points, not to say they are good

Sees the trajectory and knows he's won, both literally and morally.

Cool guys turn away from explosions.

it's: Cool guys don't look at explosions :P

Makes you wonder how many times did they reshoot that

@@daveswort Either that, or they worked a gentle slope into the set that would funnel the ball towards the hole.

carlos Rivas the best leaders employ staff who balance them out

Cox and kelzo had the best work relationship they challenged each other and thats what u need in a job especially a hospital

Hollywood Mitch probably why they became friends after Kelso retired

all real men do

Yeah all can, all about aiming for the hole, not all are skilled enough to get a good score though

Probably started with mini golf ⛳

He really can't. Ken Jenkins can though, I think, but looks like he's holding back. McGinley can, but I'd say that Jenkins probably is the better in real life. Now I have to google it...

@kbry In fairness, I don't think JD's supposed to be good.

Nah. Cox was right. Celso was greedy.

@@JacktheRah tbf Celso frequently knew about ways they skirted and outright broke the rules, i.e their case of using a recently dead patients insurance to pay someone elses medical bills. He just knew that if the hospital didn't make money then he woudld be replaced with someone far wore and money hungry than himself. Celso was a necessary evil who still did a good job

No, not in Australia. One point is credible, healthcare is a human right and should be for everyone.

@@fairystail1 Agreed in one episode a friend of Kelso's had no insurance and when it didn't happen he asked 'why didn't you do what you usually do? You know, fudge the insurance paperwork whilst I pretend look the other way?' They didn't as Kelso had earlier made a threat to fire people whk didn't follow the rules. After Kelso relented they fudged the paperwork and his friend got the treatmemt.

@@shakesfirst2443 no it's not. It's a service. Quality and advancements medical fields come from these business types systems. Australia system is stagnets, feeds off it's citizens, and relies heavily on other systems to better itself.

Ian McPherson, Friendly reminder that Black Jack was House before House and Cox were cool.

Road house.

Cox is much much better than house. Cox cares about his patients, even though he has his issues (alcohol addiction) he tries to be his best self when at the hospital. He respects his subordinates, and has real friends he cares for, and he definitely respects the nursing staff and the vital role they play in patient care care. House is just a drug addict with superiority complex, who resists all help his friends try to give him, and cares more about the science of medicine than his patients.

@@radmoonable I agree, but when it comes to medicine, diagnosing and treatment is above all; the science of medicine is what allows it to advance.

@@notpinhead3514 a doctor who cares only about the science of medicine should be working in a lab, not in a hospital. A doctor like house would be fired within a week in the real world.

Pretty sure he said "Out of play"

@@Elstielzchen I agree with the OP. Kelso, hell Scrubs in general, rarely called low-level doctors by name (remember Slagathor, Turkelton, etc.) JD sticking to his guns and not being completely spineless like Stedman earned Kelso's respect, and thus gets referred to by his earned title. Which, in my opinion, is the reason Stedman (notice Kelso didn't refer to him as Dr. 0:37 ) is in this episode and rarely seen again. He was there to represent the kiss ass path of JD's choice.

People grow older as time passes. Weird, innit?

You have no idea how much I love hearing that.

He was just a catalyst for the whole Cox vs Kelso thing. After JD made up his mind, he was no longer needed. The closest you can probably get to him after this is Ted, although Ted secretly hates him.

Yeah, MetroidJunkie is right. Steadman was only introduced as Kelso's lapdog but he was phased out when Ted started filling that role of lapdog/punching bag. Besides, we all agree Ted was way funnier.

In the series finale he is at the end of the line

I guess, he had to find someone else to love. Kelsos baguette was too much.

When he becomes chief of medicine himself

Yes, but thank god Kelso isn’t an ass about it and was more than ready to help him at every step.

Yeah, I always watch this episode and agree with both of them.

Hijacking the comment two years later to say: Dr Cox slowly learns, as Chief of Medicine, that you can't run a hospital on ideals alone. He still has his good person vibes throughout it, but he becomes more practical.

@@cameronstrouth7614 Ultimately Kelso must PRETEND to be like that, but in future episodes(Season 6 Episode 13) he admits he knows how the doctors uses recently dead people's health-insurances infos(or whatever that stuff is, not US-citizen so i don't know how it works) to cure those patients who don't have said health-insurance. Kelso is an idealist who was forced to deal with the reality of Health in the US: it's a business. SO he pretends/ignores when the other doctors act "behind him"(more like he is secretly supporting them by feigning ignorance) as a...way to keep faith to his old idealisms of saving people. He keeps the hospital running so that the doctors can save the patients, even through shady methods(like the insurance thing)

@@derokdeathaxe6984 in all actuality alot of hospitals in the us have a charity clause/payment plan deal. Where if you make up to 3 times the poverty line they will write off up to 100% of your bill.

@Cameron Strouth you most certainly could run a hospital the way Cox would like to, it's just the greedy government wouldn't allow you to. Hospitals shouldn't be businesses

He's apparently a big John Wayne fan, and he intentionally played Dr. Cox as a John Wayne-type guy, a brash, confident alpha male. Which was a perfect contrast to JD's insecure beta male lead.

@@jculver1674 there goes this alpha beta nonsense again. Are you living in a cave? People are not just alpha beta.

@@Blacksoul444 they are terms to define concepts, in summary: words. You don't have to believe in them to use them, for example, people often use the word race or racial when talking about ethnicity when there are no different human races. You understood what he meant.

@@CaptainARR I understood what he meant. But apparently you did not understand what i meant.

@@Blacksoul444 How would I misunderstand you? You were pretty clear. Are you saying that there are more archetypes than just alpha and beta? There are but they fit those the definition of those two. Are you saying that the words themselves don't apply in the world? They don't but you don't have to believe they do to use them, specially when talking about t.v. tropes. You can try to explain your point if I'm not getting it you know.

Michael Song maybe in the good ole USA, outside of it, nobody cares

@@jhwheuer No, it's very prevalent in Asia countries too. Actually, it's worse in Asian countries (China, Japan, and Korea at least). I don't know about Europe.

@@jhwheuer in Japan, there is the legend of The Average Salary Man. The Average Salary Man works 6:00-19:00 5 days a week, never calls in sick, doesn't ask for holiday leave and is punctual for everything. Every week his boss invites him to come out drinking with them and some other colleagues. If the salary man goes, he has to stay up until the early hours of the morning drinking only to go into work early the next day. If he doesn't go, he falls out of favour with his employer and risks his financial stability. Such is the life of The Average Salary Man, an eternal dilemma between risking his physical and mental health or the respect of his employer.

Michael Song what job do you have? I’ve never met someone else who plays golf in my industry

One of MANY reasons I will not work a white collar job. I hate golf.

I'd probably be with Kelso. You can't treat patients if you don't have a hospital.

I agree with Cox more. You can’t put money over people’s lives.

@@Delta-ei7im Do you save 100/100 people but then have 50% chance of saving the next 100 or do you save 80/100 people but have 100% chance to save the next 80?

Yeah but socialism, try the NHS

Wookie Cookie exactly, this is what I don’t understand about how Americans defend their health system so much. Switch to a universal health care system. Money comes out of taxes automatically, and everyone is covered, not just those who can afford it. I can’t understand how so many Americans just shrug their shoulders at so many people down there getting turned away when they need medical help. Whenever you get old, the health insurance companies can pull coverage, or if your finances don’t look up to par. I’ll never forget the documentary ‘Sicko’ when it shows this guy who had his fingers cut off, and the hospital would only reattach 1 or 2 because he couldn’t afford more than that. What a fucked up and inhumane system you have down there. I’m also a conservative, a fan of capitalism and getting ahead, but when it comes to essential services such as police, postal service, and health care, socialism is necessary. The strange thing about America is 50% of the population is 100% against socialism, the other 50% wants a completely socialist country. A mix of both capitalism and socialism is what works the best, but due to the highly polarized nature of America, this seems impossible to achieve.

I watched you play golf once, I looked like Edmund when I woke up.

Secret Braff?

The Flandersiazion (spelling?) Is real. They also made Ted way more pathetic

Well Holey Moley dude

Some people just naturally have a high hairline at their temples. He's been like that for decades now. One of my high school friends, too. Very short hair, he looks like he's balding, but a month later it looks normal.

He had a role before the show started where he had to shave his head. You see it happen in a later season, so maybe it just grows in that way.

This show is dead unfortunately

not too dead

:(

It's Firefly dead. Complete with a follow-on that attempted to capture the spirit, but didn't quite live up to the real deal. And did some pretty terrible character assassination. Dead and buried. Now, it only truly lives on in the hearts of the fans.

69 likes nice

I’m pretty sure they invited him out for massages and he picked the place XD

"People look younger in their past" arent you an Einstein

and although kelso makes great point, cox is the only one that actually sticks to his word, kelso is seen multiple times in the series spending the hospitals money selfishly, he presents himself as a realist but he truly is greedy

Pffft so if a guy doesn't talk about sports or plays golf the he isn't "Masculine"? What kind of bullshit thinking is that?

@@Plague_Potato shut up fool, you know what I meant. Are you really going to pretend that they didn’t ramp up JD having “girly” tendencies in later seasons?

"It's about the patient." sums up Cox completely. Despite his bravado, he genuinely cares about his patients.

Trying to find the name of it, Shazam gives me "Funky Latin Groove - Marc Hungenberger", but I can't find it anywhere

Most people would, wich is why this whole world is slowly, but shurely going to shit

Methren1 they've been like that since the beginning

@@lt5334 True, doesnt change that its still going to shit. Never too late, to try to be better.

To groom him

Well 2 reasons. 1. Plot convenience to build character and define one of the constant struggles on the show. Without this episode clearly stating why both Kelso and Cox are right in their vision it might have made the audience hate Kelso a lot more for his antagonistic role. 2. Because from what we've seen both Kelso and Cox admire JD (even if he's woefully inexperienced at that moment) and want him to succeed. From his year of interns there are 2 people who stand out most, Elliot and JD. And from those two both Kelso and Cox saw the relatively blank slate potential in JD to get an ally to their vision of the hospital while Elliot would be less open to such developments. So yeah, JD was inexperienced, but competent and good hearted enough that personal grooming could help.

@@DyslecticAttack #1 makes perfect sense, but although JD was relatively talented I don't think he was so remarkable to justify personal attention from the chief of medicine, surely dozens if not hundreds of talented interns (perhaps even more so) have come through... though I guess I'm digging too deep for a tv show ;D

@@Tweakerbythespeaker JD basically becomes the best doctor there though so he does warrant it

This sounds like a not so subtle shot at America.

Imagine reducing your doctor's wages & forcing everyone to wait till their broken bones set in place before surgery. Sure, patients expiring before operating will eliminate the workload & expenses, but it would also turn healthcare into one more beauracracy.

He’s just ignorant about a lot of sports stuff but he still knows of them or watches. Remember when him and Truk tried to go see Jordan but they both brought sandwiches

That's why he plays golf in this episode.
