      I think a lot of these medical shows paint this picture that Docs and other providers cowboy everything and nurses are the equivalent of extras in the background.
      But anybody who has been a provider for any length of time knows how huge it is to have good support staff. Your job is so much harder if the help is not as good.
      It can make such a huge difference when you have really good nurses, techs, therapists etc.
      Most people in the medical field appreciate and rely on other people.
      Yes occasionally run into those sorts of people who don't seem to be too cognizant of that but for the most part most of the people that I have worked with give credit where credit is due and don't disregard those support staff who make our job as providers easier.

    The thing about Scrubs is that it starts in a relatively dark place, because it starts when JD and his friends are extremely anxious about their new job, and over time all of the characters in the series show a lot of growth. The main driver of the show is the idea that the experiences they go through working at this hospital really help them to change and become better people.

      Very well put.
      My wife is a nurse and she always says that Scrubs is the most accurate show on social mechanics and how people actually think of each other and treat one another in hospitals. She says, Dr. Cox - one of the most outrageous characters in TV history - could actually be based on a real doctor she used to work with, so you definitely get these sorts in real-life hospitals. But you probably need to watch the show for some time to get that, as it is very much based on the ways relationships evolve in these environments.

Great to see a "real" doctor shrug it off like that wasn't a good question. It's only the leading cause of liver failure so yeah let's just tell patients to take it no matter what, seems smart.

    one of the best things about Scrubs isn't just how the characters change but also the fact we have other professions at the hospital shown - the accountants the janitors the support staff - people that boost the doctors and nurses as they work. they also aren't just sketches of the character types but they grow as the hospital grows and changes and gives the show the feeling of a small community centered around helping sick people. because that is what a hospital is - a community.

    You definitely need to watch more episodes, especially episodes where they lose patients. One of the main things the show got applauded for was for the concept of not always the perfect solution by the end of the episode, or by the time they find out what's going on, it's too late.
    Some good episodes to check out: My Old Lady and My Five Stages are good.
    There pairs of episodes that work well together lile My Lunch and My Fallen Idol or My No Good Reason and My Long Goodbye.
    Also keep in mind when the episodes air and how vastly different hospitals can be now compared to back then. The show first aired in 2001, 17 years ago. Some of the more outlandish medical moments come from real experiences from the doctor they consulting for the show (the consultant is a friend of the show's creator). It gets the most praise for getting the personal lives of the doctors down so well

    “Too dark.” Heh, heh, heh, oh you sweet summer child. Somebody trained after the residency work hour restrictions. Dr Cox is just all of our Ids unleashed. Everything you wish you could say but can’t. “Help me help you, help me help you, help me help you.” Honestly, though, it’s the patient death rate on this show that’s the most realistic. Yes, we do everything we can to extend life, but in the end, we will lose and the patient will die at some point. This show does an excellent job of exploring this cold, but at the same time oddly comforting reality. Our job really is to try to improve the quality of the time we are gifted with. First do no harm.

      @toddvandell85 6 лет назад +9

      Olha Michalak and taesthetic Vibe I am in the same boat.
      I don't feel I'm any of those things either.
      Even with a 4 year college degree, when people say "you're a smart guy" I always defer and say well I don't know about that. Wearing glasses seems to make one look smarter?
      I don't know.
      I try not to think I'm smart as I have so much learning left to do.
      Anyway.
      But what keeps me in the game is how much cool new stuff I learn every day.
      I find, for me, the older I grow, the less I know.
      So, I'm always hungry for new knowledge.
      And consider keeping this in mind, as it works pretty well for me:
      I always think about everything I have learned for that day.
      And what keeps me going is this thought:
      "If I learned THAT much TODAY?
      Just imagine how much I'll learn tomorrow."☺
      I feel a bit sad for those that feel they know everything and don't need or want to learn more.
      I never want to stop learning, until they nail my coffin shut, and lower me into the ground.
      Maybe then I will stop craving new knowledge.
      Maybe.
      Something else I believe is true?
      That you believe you are not all those things, is a strong indicator you really are all those things.
      You just don't brag about them because it's unseemly. ☺
      It's not unlike being insane:
      if you know you are and admit it?
      You're probably not insane.
      But, if you ARE insane and DENY that you are?
      You are. ☺
      (And trust me, I am crazy enough for at LEAST two people.)
      People bragging about how good they are at everything, usually are not as good at anything, at least to the level they want everyone to believe they are.
      (Guys who believe they are good in bed, typically are not at all good in bed.
      Not that you asked, just as an example since we've all met those guys.)

You go through your degree after mad panic, loose all sanity (if you ever had it in the first place) then are like, oh, I have a degree... now what? Then you go for a job because its the next logical step, and find you don't 100% suck, but you may be bat-shit insane and find it hard to talk to people, but that's ok. Because everyone is human, people make mistakes and making mistakes is ok. Just be you and keep learning and growing. You'll always encounter dudes who think they know everything, but there is always a bigger fish. It's better to be humble and realise that no one in the world is perfect. But you can get better then you are today.
      Also, trust me I am bat-shit crazy. But being crazy is fine. Normal is a lie.

    Scrubs is the kind of show that finds its stride after the first season, once there's more character growth. If you want an episode w/ more humor, try My Half Acre. More heart, My Last Words. More tear jerking, My Lunch/My Fallen Idol. More "There's so many moving parts that I have no idea what to think.", My Musical. Give the show a shot!

  • @JS-wv3iy

    the cool thing about the "mean-spirited" doctors in the show is that as the show progresses you see that theyre only sarcastic assholes because theyre trying to save face & keep it together so they can get the job done without being a blubbering mess every 2 seconds
    dr cox has a massive breakdown later in the series & its pretty damn powerful because hes usually goofy & sarcastic its a shock seeing him lose it

  • @savdebunnies
    @savdebunnies 6 лет назад +108

    There is a lot of sex and relationship drama in Scrubs, but is still a really good show. The medicine is really accurate mainly because they never get into anything too rare or complicated (with the exception of the episode based on House M.D., and the one where Eliot literally reads out of textbooks the whole time).
    The most impressive thing to me is the clocks in the background. The clocks are always set to an appropriate time for the scene.

      Yeah, if any of the shows he watched so far, this is the one to continue with. Because I agree, the first season is a bit dark. But I think they do it on purpose to kind of set a more serious tone. They were also probably a bit unsure of the direction they were going. But this show really finds its identity later on, and becomes much more light hearted.

    I totally agree that there are certain stigmas that the medical community is attributed with that need to be challenged; however, I think over the course of Scrubs that does happen to an extent. It's also important to remember that this show originally aired in 2001, 17 years ago! The social landscape was very different then!

    I'm curious to know if you noticed in the opening theme that the chest x-ray was backwards. My dad loved this show but that always annoyed him. Eventually a few seasons in, during the opening, the music stops, one of the new characters walks in, and she flips it the right way around and says, "That was backwards, it's been bugging me for years!" My dad freaked out, he was so excited, he was like "Ugh YES I've been saying that forever!"
    Also, like I already said, my dad is a doctor and everyone also calls him "Doctor Mike." So while you're basically the perfect man I can't find you attractive because that's all I can think of lol. I still love your videos! Keep doing what you do.

    In Season 5 of Scrubs, there is an episode called My Lunch. It's profoundly sad, but I believe it to be the best moment of the entire show. I highly recommend you check it out. Many people call it their favorite episode, which is odd for a comedy's best episode to be so overwhelmingly depressing, but it displays the best writing. As a doctor, you might have had a day like this, although I hope you haven't.

    He keeps talking about the stereotypes in the medical community and how things are now, but I would have liked to hear him connect it to not only his experiences but also his attending's experiences. Scrubs came out in 2001. The culture of medicine has definitely changed and it would have been nice to hear some more specifics. I mean even just the humor of sitcoms has changed. He claims it pushes the stereotypes a lot and how we need to fight them....but stereotypes were late 90's sitcoms' bread and butter. It doesn't take away from the accuracy of the show. Overall I enjoyed this, but I think people need to remember that medicine is always changing so it's hard to compare Scrubs directly to as it is now.

As for sex, that was a part of every residency. My wife and I met as residents together. Two of my co-residents got divorces and married ED nurses. Sex was definitely a part of the residency experience. You spend all your time there.

We also have family working together and the like.

    Re: the pagers; I work in IT and basically I am on call 24/7. For this I also carry a pager. The simple reason is that pagers work on a different frequency than mobile phones and the coverage is way, way better. Pagers will work in places a mobile phone won't have a chance of getting a signal, like deep underground and such.
    This has been changing in the last decade since cellular repeaters became a possibility, but still there are many places where a cellular phone won't get a signal and a pager will.

    • @chartle1
      @chartle1 6 лет назад +4

      I sort of worked in a hospital and isn't also that its not your pager but the resident on call's pager?
      My wife worked with more Drs and they would sometimes have multiple roles and have to carry multiple pagers.
      The person paging you has no idea who is holding the pager.
      Also it would be a nightmare keeping up with who is on call.

    • @Spurensohn
      @Spurensohn 6 лет назад +1

      that said, i think they work with longer wavelength that can store more energy and therefore get through different material without loosing too much power. It´s the switch of the medium A to B (like concrete air) that steals much energy from a wave and some of the energy get´s reflected inside material A backwards. For example yelling in a room gets reflected but also lead through the walls and some energy is taken for the change of wavelength. Multiple stacks of thin but separated concrete isolates much better than a regular wall.

    • @raphidae
      @raphidae 6 лет назад +3

      Something like that, however not exactly. Shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies) have a higher energy (for radio the same as light, which is why infrared light has less energy than UV). Different frequencies do indeed penetrate better into some materials, but that's not the difference between pagers and cellular. Pagers are still on the 900Mhz band, where in the past also cellular phones were (when they were still bricks). Today cellular phones are between 1600 and 2800Mhz, but the power is much, much lower. This has less to do with energy and more with the fact that higher frequencies allow for smaller antennas.
      If you really have to be reachable, pagers work better than cellular for multiple reasons:
      1. much better coverage, in many western countries the government has required (often in the past, though some countries maintain it) telecoms to provide universal coverage, specifically for emergency usage when radio contact was not possible. Most of this equipment is still maintained.
      2. The pager signal is much higher power than anything cellular today (factor 10 to 500).
      3. Much more overlap between transmitters than cellular.
      4. Pagers usually only have the pager function, so much more space for a larger antenna for better reception. It also does not need to transmit so the antenna can be optimized for receiving only instead of being average at both receiving and transmitting.
      5. Simpler protocol, less information to transmit & more redundancy. I believe pager messages are transmitted up to 10 times, the pager just needs to receive one message, and modern pagers can even cobble together one complete message from multiple partial ones.

    • @raphidae
      @raphidae 6 лет назад +2

      There are indeed satellite pagers, but most pagers do not work via satellite. Also, it's possible to get a cellphone with a priority plan (if you can justify needing it), which will boot someone off the cell tower if you need access. So you would be able to complete a call as long as the network functions. Such a plan usually comes with universal/domestic roaming as well, which will always pick the network with the best signal, regardless of whether it is your provider's or another. This mostly saves battery.

    As someone who has had over 100 surgeries/OSPs since I was 18 months old, over 23 years, I have these same reactions watching these shows.. I've spent years in hospitals absorbing everything I see and so much of what is on TV is laughably fake.. like magic defibrillators bringing *dead* people back, and doctors breaking laws in crazy ways, or discussing patients info in public areas (I love the awkward silence when you walk by talking doctors while they wait for you to pass out of earshot lol), and all the ridiculous hospital sex. Hospitals aren't sexy, everyone is tired, smell like farts and hand sanitizer, and just want to do a good job and go the fuck home and sleep!
    You're absolutely doing the world a service, and doctors and huge favor by showing how it really is. I always wanted to be a doctor as a kid, but as I became an adult I knew I couldn't handle it. I'm a germaphobe, I'm terrified of needles (I hate those prickly phlebotomy vampires. Get a real job and stop stealing people's life juice!), and honestly.. I couldn't handle it mentally or emotionally. Doctors are straight up heroes. No joke. Even take away the life saving.. just the hours worked, years and decades studied, mountains of debt, working under absolute stress, working with a giant liability guillotine overhead, and having to deal with... _humans_ ugh. Heroes. That save lives, even with all of that weighing them down.

      Jill Tracy is a recurring character & as such, a recurring patient. For the true lesson J.D. learns to really sink in, I suggest first viewing:
      ‘My Nickname’ (S1E10)
      ‘My Occurrence’ (S1E22)
      ‘My Fifteen Seconds’(S3E7)

      Thing is, it only has real weight if you've followed the show up until that point. You know all of the characters and their situations.

    You are a super hero. All medical related personnel! Thank you for all schooling, work, and the learning you do!
    There is no way I could handle the responsibility!
    P.s. You’re pretty easy on the eyes. Dr. McDreamy if I ever saw one!

    I remember when I got woken up at 5:30 am by a group of doctors doing rounds. Clearly, I was the first patient of the day because of the smell of coffee. Weirdest experience of my life.

    The show gets much better going in. The characters really develop and the stories suck you in real deep. It's worth investing the time. If you dont love it by the end of season 3, I'd be surprised.

    Scrubs was a great show, it definitely can get dark, but i think it always does a good job with mixing the dark and the humor. as for the pushing stereotypes: season 1 started in 2001 so it can seem a bit outdated in that regard. just something to keep in mind before you judge it to harshly

      Ryan agree. My husband has been a doc for almost 30 years now and the only med show he would watch was Scrubs.He used to physically cringe when I watched ER. Scrubs was the closest to his experiences. However, I’m sure today’s residents will have a different experience. As thus see it through a different lens.

    Open her mouth, throw a handful in, whatever sticks, that’s the correct dosage, it’s Tylenol 🤣

      Of course, Tylenol (paracetamol/acetaminophen) isn't totally harmless. In overdose it can cause liver damage, so you need to be aware if the patient is vulnerable in that area. What's sad is people who try to kill themself with this drug, who end up alive but with a destroyed liver that needs treatment for the rest of their life.

    I’d really like to see more reactions for scrubs episodes, it may not be the most medically accurate but I think the drama and stories in it are amazing.
