Why is depicting a male friendship like a female friendship healthy?

@@radhiadeedou8286 You may be too young to understand this.

@@radhiadeedou8286 The fact you interpreted a comment about healthy friendships into a veiled slight of female relationships speaks volumes, given there was no mention of females here. Look into counseling.

It's just Guy love, between two guys...

​@@radhiadeedou8286because you're so secure in your sexuality that you can love a man that hard and it's straight.

Dr. Cox has a very specific way of showing tough love, and his circle is only the people who see that (JD, Jordan, Carla, etc)

I think you're thinking of a later episode where Kelso tells Carla not to give the news too early (Not a dying patient but a burn victim going to graduation) In retrospect it actually would have made more sense as a Cox/JD story

@@KotoCrash you're both right. Both things happened.

@@KotoCrash Burn Victim going to Graduation, is about Eliot telling that to JD not to do so (Season 7 episode 6, I believe) Kelso telling Carla not to tell good news way too early, was to a Patient, that I, remember, was going to a Wedding, and once she told her patient, that they should keep him here, Kelso showed up and became a Good guy, in eyes of a Patient Kelso telling Eliot, not to bring hope to dying patient, resulted in not only Patient dying, but also in Kelso acknowledging Eliot as his Colleague (which doesn't matter, since he hates his Colleagues). Cox and JD situation, I am trying to remember where it was?

ok, going down through all "First episodes" (aka season 1) Episode 1 "My first day" - Dr. Cox just introduces himself, and the conflict isn't about delivering good news. Conflict is about JD literally trying to use a Syringe. Episode 2 "My mentor" - Dr Cox teaches JD, that he should not feel tourmented about every "Drunk, Drug addict, Smoker" and instead to deal with the fact, that he have to cure people, even if they return for the second time Episode 3 "My Best Friends mistake" - It is more focused on Turk and JD conflict, of him being not able to spend more time with him (plus him trying to Kiss Elliot within 48 hours) Episode 4 "My Old lady" - Episode about Three Patients dying. Cox is not part of the conflict, not to mention the fact, that it was JD patient decision to die. Episode 5 "My Two dads" - episode, where JD have to choose between being Dog of Kelso, or Bend rules like Cox Episode 6 "My Bad" - as a climax of Previous episode, Cox was temporarily fired, so JD tries to get him back and accidentally has sex with Cox ex wife Episode 7 "My super Ego" - conflict between JD and new guy, who is just better then him in every way. Episode 8 "My fifteen minutes" - Episode about Dr Cox teaching JD, about the fact, that he is not supposed to be the one, who finds good things about JD, but JD himself should find good things about himself (also episode about Turk being exploited as a Black Doctor) Episode 9 "My day off" - Episode where JD have to delete his Appendix, or he'll die. Epispde 10 "My nickname" - episode about Carla and JD, how he almost ruins their friendship Episode 11 "My own personal Jesus" - Episode about JD screwing up tape with birth of Cox friends child Episode 12 "My Blind date" - Episode about Cox having a Marathon of not dying patients, till start of a new day. Elliote helps him out on second half, since JD have to be with Alex (the lawyer girl) Episode 13 "My Balancing act" - about JD balancing love life with Work, and Cox pointing out, that JD idea of being like Him, is awful, because "Even he doesn't want to be himself" (I love this moment so much) Episode 14 "My Drug Buddy" - an episode about Cox becoming "friends" with Turk, and JD balancing between Eliot and Alex. Episode 15 "My Bed Banter and beyond" - about Eliot and JD hooking up and breaking up by the end of the episode. Episode 16 "My Heavy Meddle" - about Cox teaching JD to vent himself somehow Episode 17 "My new Student" - about JD becoming a Cox from first episode and trying to teach his incompetent fool of a student. Episode 18 "My Tuscaloosa heart" - about JD learning to appreciate even awful patients. Episode 19 "My old man" - episode about Parent issues. Episode 20 "My way on the Highway" - episode where Turk and JD fight Episode 21 "My Sacrificial claim" - episode where JD afraid of infections, because he recently got a Syringe with Possible Hepatitis C planted on his face. Episode 22 "My Occurance" - Episode about Ben Episode 23 "My hero" - episode about Ben, and Cox being scared of showing up if something goes wrong Episode 24 "My Last day" - episode where Turk Elliot and JD are trying to help an Oldman and are scared that they are becoming thing, they swore they wouldn't become

That scene of Cox coming to terms with the loss, sticks with me...and I feel like that losing people close to me...

Loved what they did with his death plot-wise, it still hits so hard upon the third rewatch as it did the first time around

The way they handled his death in his second appearance is still one of the most shocking and impactful twists for me personally that I've seen a TV show. I know they give more than a few hints, but I did not see it coming at all, and it hit me like a truck when it did. I was pretty emotionally distraught for quite awhile afterward, and it was definitely in large part because his character, and Brenden Fraser himself, are so likeable. It really felt like losing a friend, at least for a moment, while I processed what happened.

Scrubs was the first time i saw Brendan and he was the best. I grew up with scrubs every day after school i watched scrubs, his death every time i hear "winter" it breaks me. I love this show soo much

Where do you think we are?

I do wish that they explored the condition a little more. Having Jordan come in and share her experience was a good way to deal with it, as Turk couldnt quite connect with the way she was feeling. But then having it basically be all wrapped up after that scene like it was just cured was pretty sitcomy and unrealistic.

​@@KotoCrashthe problem with sitcoms, they have to balance serious with the return to formula. Sitcoms can tell wonderful stories, but the genre also has walls that often box it on. Whether it's a choice of writers, execs, expectations of what the audience will accept, or a mix of all that

carla?

When this happens to me…I’ll know shes the one

I thought itd have been more sweet if it didn't end with Turk yelling about how whipped he is

Ruh-Roe Triccele! You forgot to proof-read & spell-check (fantasyzibg)

"I'm so horny I'm fantasizing about having sex with my own wife! It ain't right!"

He also had some dirty dreams with Elliot though.

I broke just watching it back in this video.

That one where Cox trashes a room in front of Carla after losing a patient... Man, that broke me. I still think of it to this day, it was SO raw.

agreed this show was not only funny, but really emotional and educational.

@@butHomeisNowhere___ just the song How to Save a Life is enough to remind me of that episode and make me sad, it never fails.

I did cry when Cox said "he wasn't about to die". That scene hits so hard.

The last season is a mixed bag, but the episode where JD and Turk stay up all night with a dying patient is one of the highlights of the entire run

The Safety Dance joke was epic

I never caught that last bit about him not being on record. I was probably laughing too hard at the thought of this guy just walking off from a job because his torture muse had stopped working there.

Thats hillarious

My favorite Janitor scene is right after JD's dad passed away. JD goes to walk into the hospital & the Janitor moves out of the way & nods his head to him. It's subtle, but it humanizes the Janitor.

The address the hospital had for him was 1313 Mockingbird lane

My favourite Janitor scenes are the ones where he trolls JD for suggesting he use the word 'mop' to finish a sentence as if being a janitor meant he couldn't think of anything else - 'Wahh, me can't eat soup!' will always have me rolling!

Mmm hmm

Imo, she was the emotional spine of the cast and show, not Carla. Carla was more of the mother figure for everyone

@@johnychrist5475 I always felt like Laverne was Carla's Dr. Cox.

Did you even watch the damn video?

there's a super characterizing moment for Jordan at the end of Season 1. Jordan comes to lunch and airs out the gang's dirty laundry. on its face this is super mean and aggro. and it totally is. but Jordan also forces everybody to be HONEST. and she is begrudged for it. and she never gets a redemption arc because she doesnt need it. she's really mean but it isnt just pointless and antisocial. her meanness, at its best, is actually productive and pro-social, and often serves to shatter the ego-driven grandeur threatening to ruin things for everyone. and she didnt even exclude herself. her big reveal when she stirs things up includes outing her indiscretion with JD to Perry. this is a scary thing to do, but her mean is her armor and makes her confident enough to risk her already-tenuous relationship for the benefit of JD and Cox's own relationship. this moment of chaos is caused by Jordan's HONESTY and i think that's something important in a show where so much of the runtime is taken up with fantasy. Jordan is a harbinger of reality and truth.

@@HadalStreetlights Came here to say basically this without as much detail. It's a totally annoying trope that male characters can be a hard-ass with a heart of gold, while female characters are just a hard-ass, and it's one that replicates itself in real life too. I've lost count of the times in my life a female manager has taken over from a male manager, are no better or worse than the previous manager in the way they go about their job but get called a bitch constantly. And then it's doubly annoying that progressive fans of the show compound it with lines like "She's a witch, with a capital B". See also: Walter and Skylar.

@@bulletproofblouse i think there's a bit at the end where José talks about how important fantasies are as a coping mechanism and i think it should be expanded on a little here because i think Jordan represents such a grounded character. her attitude surrounding honesty represents a counterpoint against fantasy. that even though reality can seem cruel and uncaring, ultimately it just is what it is, and it has its own appeal to! the conflict between reality and fantasy isnt one that should be 'won.' Jordan is a super cool character and, like Cuddy from House, or Irene Adler from Sherlock Holmes (not BBC tho) is a genuine foil to our character Bob-Perry-JD chain. makes me think about Enid-Jordan-Eliot possibly being an analog but im not sure.

absolutely!

@@HadalStreetlights decidedly agreed. Most often "I'm just being honest" is just a cover for petty meannes. But for Jordan "I'm just being mean" is a cover for honesty. She's also my fave character.

Scrubs' depiction of nurses as basically propping up what doctors and hospitals/clinics/practices are able to do, but for less money and less social cache, is so accurate (although IRL, way too many of them can be New Age types, or even anti-vaxxers. Also, if you're a chronically ill person, especially if you're also ND, you probably live in fear of pissing off the wrong nurse and ending up being labeled "uncooperative" or "noncompliant," and thus getting worse medical care and less attention than "well-behaved" patients). Of course, part of that is that I've come across a lot of doctors who basically don't have any skills other than medicine/their specialty in medicine, and sometimes not even in that. They literally aren't required to have any "soft" skills or bedside manner, or any skills outside pure medical knowledge (and again, sometimes not even that). So nurses have to cover for them, and supplement everything else that patients naturally need from their healthcare providers. Even the way nurses go on strike, when they have to, is really cool and reflects this; they don't technically withdraw their labor/stop taking care of patients, they just basically take over scheduling shifts and organizing patient care themselves, rather than it happening through the hospital's normal chain of command.

As a resident… nurses honestly are my rock 🪨 love y’all

@@eriktatos As a nurse that is what I love about this new generation of doctors. Like sure there is still a hierarchy to practicing medicine but they dont just view nurses as underlings anymore. There's more of a team mentality with patient care now while still respecting everyone's role. Congrats on your residency!

​@@sholem_bond I always want nurses to do most procedures. I've had a doctor struggle to take a blood test on a vein a nurse put a PVC in in under 10 seconds. Also nurses are sp much better at talking you through it.

in what ways did they not accurately depict health care? im not questioning you im genuinely curious ive never worked in a hospital setting. :)

@@toanoradian It's a phenomenal scene that I just a couple days ago went back and watched again and to me, what makes the scene is Carla looking absolutely helpless for the first time possibly in her life as she watches someone who she possibly sees as a father just absolutely collapse.

dr cox does have some episodes that hurt your heart

The only thing i feel is bad about it is how quickly they resolve the situation. Having some lasting impact on cox, and for instance, having him out of his job for the rest of the season or the likes, would have made the whole situation much more impactful

Right? He managed to show so many of the strongest, most emotional scenes Scrubs had. How near laughter and tears were in this show, how we watched them mature and develop as we ourselves did, what powerful and perfectly fitting music choices* they made, the love for the detail all over the series and their phenomenal finale.

mad respect. custodians, cleaners, maintenance people, and janitors do not get as much clout and consideration as they deserve, despite their unions, and for jobs frequently cast as "undesirable" they are absolutely critical to so many of the places they operate. schools, hospitals, research facilities, etc, these places NEED yall. your service to them is invaluable and without you, we would suffer plague and misfortune. youre like the editors of real life. correcting issues and errors, cleaning things up, and improving things behind the scenes like real heroes who dont get the spotlight, but are the reason the show is pulled off without hitch.

i wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

Same here. I have Playlist on youtube

Yes, I remember it shaping my musical taste in my early teens and same kind of music is continually used in Garden State as well. If I am not misremembering things, Zach Braff kind of helped the show get good but not expensive indie songs. I think the creator of this video rewatched the show in one of the streaming services and he did not realize that most of those good songs were removed from the series because of licencing aggreements coming to an end. The DVD version of the series should have the original songs if you guys watched it when it was first aired. Or that he is not a fan of indie music, because I don't think the music in the show is an afterthought, it is one of the main selling points.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support and the kind words!

That’s Jordan’s brother - Ben is his brother-in-law. That said, it’s implied that he and Ben were best friends long before Cox started dating Jordan.

Yeah, me too. In fact, the second the song that plays when they enter the cemetery (Winter by Joshua Radin) is playing anywhere I'm tearing up. Definitely my favorite episode of Scrubs.

Speaking of Frasier, have you seen Little Hoot's analysis of it? If not, I highly recommend checking it out!

@@LustStarrr no i haven’t. Is little hoot a KZfaqr?

I dunno about that. IRL, they’d have all been at separate specialized facilities instead of one hospital, but say they were all there. They were hours away from death and the test for rabies is over 99% negative. Usually, you run that test and the patient dies and you’re on the hook for wasting time and medical resources. It was just a bizarre and horrible coincidence. Something similar happened IRL and it was big news, because it was just so unlikely.

I don't agree that it was his fault. You make every decision with the information you have at the time. If there was something you couldn't have known about that then influenced that decision's outcome, that outcome isn't your fault, even if it's still your responsibility to handle the fallout. There was nothing Cox arguably did wrong. Ideally, he could have waited to get the autopsy back before doing the transplants, but if he had, then at least some of the patients would still have died (waiting for the new organs they needed that weren't available until the autopsy was done). 9 times out of 10, waiting and denying people life-saving transplants (a time-sensitive decision to make) would seem like a worse decision, than doing the transplants ASAP if you have the organs and no reason to believe the donor died of anything infectious/toxic. I don't know/remember enough statistics to be able to say "yeah it was indefensibly risky to do the transplants before the autopsy came back" or "no, most of the time there's no issue with cases like this and it would turn out fine to rush to the transplants." But it's definitely an understandable call for anyone to make, especially since most people don't know or care to do the odds on either option's chance of success.

1 - Thanks! 2 - It's all about picking shows with chill distributors. And on occasion some behind the scenes stuff I'm not silly enough to leave in a KZfaq comment.

This is something I've been struggling with a lot. I'm an artist and trying to write Comic and I want the cast to be super diverse.

And while I already have all the characters I constantly think about how to do them justice. As a white person the experiences of racism and discrimination aren't my story to tell and I silmutaneously don't want to take away from poc sharing their culture. So I'm constantly thinking about having the story be completely removed from color and/or only occassionally sprinkling in some aspects of culture (though that latter part is also difficult sonce there are so little authentic sources to pull from).
