Honestly, if I was going to die in a hospital and my doctor cried, it'd be the biggest relief and comfort for me. To know that I wasn't just some random person that died in their care, or just an organic money printer for the hospital. To cry about something, means that you have to care about that something. Rather be delivered that news by someone in tears than someone just reading off a clipboard.
Ikr. I strongly agree cos my parents are doctors, they like to casually talk about medicine, patient, sickness, how bad they got sick, or even died with 0 emotion, as if it's just science. It made me feel weird and didn't wanna be a doctor cos of how emotionless they seem to be.
Yes. My father was a frequent flyer with our local ems his last year. On his last call out one of them was wiping away a tear just before they called it. Maybe not professional but she cared. She had examined him almost monthly by then. And talked to him everytime, rode in the back with him.
Haven't died but I understand this sentiment. My doctor has a good knack between her falling apart for me and her supporting me while showing her humanity. I had [insert devastating news here] about [insert disease here] which destroyed [life long dream here] forever. There is no going back. When asking my doctor about mental health care for such a loss, I was 100% expecting her to offer [insert bullshit unhelpful non-mental health care treatment here that everyone and their mother, including doctors, would offer me] ...but she instead looked at me, holding her own heart, said so caringly, down to earth, human to human, "I wish I could offer you more than counseling." That was perfect. I could feel her empathy just enough to know she sees me as a person and that I am not alone. She is an amazing doctor.
Scrubs helped me make it through dark times, when my mother commited suicide, I watched scrubs over and over. It made me cry, it made me laugh, and now, as a 41 years old, I am studying psychotherapie, to understand my mother and founded a selfsupport group for relatives of suicidantes.
That part where the young doctor gets a hug from the older woman dying. I would think even that would help so much. I mattered to someone and made a difference and they allowed me to embrace them. I think its really beautiful.
The one in three statistic is real, a third of people admitted to hospital will eventually die there, it doesn't mean they die on that visit but they will eventually die in hospital care.
I am a lab tech and we did a LOT of covid tests in my old lab. Very regular patients sometimes, mostly the old and fragile. When you see the ct values on the PCR drop, drop, drop and suddenly - no more tests (Ct gets lower, the virus load rises). It honestly made me sometimes just go out of the lab and trying my hardest not to smash my head in the wall out of frustration. It can be hell in that field. But you have to focus on the wins there.
It's understandable if you don't have time to go through the whole episode but I really appreciated that on the previous video you did sit through and show your reaction to the whole episode. Still a great video and always happy to watch a scrubs reaction video.
Thanks so much for the comment - I did watch the whole thing (and record it) but I got feedback on the previous episode that it was too long. But now I'm hearing feedback in the opposite direction! It's actually way easier to do full episodes and I prefer it (less editing and less deciding what needs to be cut!). I'll put out a poll and see what people want :)
Scrubs was such a perfect balance of funny and emotional. It could be both a show you can just turn your brain off and de-stress and a show that makes you think about the important things. May not be a 100 percent medically factual but its still very well done
I do love Scrubs, between like 2009 and 2012 I didn't have any cable TV or internet connection, so I had my Scrubs box sets that I watched on loop. So it really holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for doing these!
"You don't need a 4 wheel walker if you can dig a hole like that" Just because her legs don't work like they used to, don't mean that she doesn't have the hands of a mole!
Goodness, it must be hard letting someone know their loved one has passed... You guys go through so much emotionally and then that affects your physically 🌹 Bless you!
My great-grandmother suffered horrible pain and discomfort for months before her body finally gave up. Because it was in Poland the option of euthanasia wasn't even discussed. It makes me so angry.
I just started watching your videos great stuff! I don't comment but I thought it was important for me to tell you from a patient's perspective when a doctor has cried with me at bad news vs just sitting there with a solid expression means so much more to me. It made me feel human, like I wasn't just another patient to you guys. Once I left that doctor never saw me before or after but had enough sympathy in her heart to feel my pain with me. Not to say she was balling but honestly to see some who has to work with horrible things everyday and still find enough sympathy not to only care but bring that kind of amount of emotion out of them meant a lot. I can't speak for all patients of course I'm sure there's others that will get mad if you cry or most likely surprised or like me much more distracted by my own emotions at the time. What JD goes though in this episode is a little different scenario from mine or your doctor friend but if you could take anything at all from this too long comment is don't ever keep yourself from caring. Don't hide that you do. If you don't want to cry that's fine but a stone cold expression in harsh cold world twists like a knife in the gut.I can see your care about your patients is so genuine and you want the best for them. Give yourself more credit. Dont be so hard on yourself and keep up the amazing work 😊
It's such a good point you're saying about having the resilience of being a doctor and not crying in front of/with the patient and/or relatives. Because it's about them, not about you, even though it can be difficult sometimes (as I know from personal experience as a doctor myself). You need to show enough empathy towards them but not get swept away by the emotions. In these situations, they need someone as an anchor to hold on to.
I got the point when he said that but one thing to remember is that those characters are interesting because they are flawed people in development. I mean, the scene where JD reads to the lady a list of things to do before and the realization that she had done all of it while he done none was so great, she is clearly the “stronger” person and the situation so it wasn’t weird when she consoled him.
The thing I think a lot of people forget is that doctors are people too. They are human, they also get scared and they make mistakes and they are sometimes unprofessionally close when they are supposed to be distant and/or clinical. Compartmentalization is a skill that has to be learned and maintained, but even then it's hard not to take things personally when you're working so close with people who are vulnerable, scared, and dying. JD did his best this episode, but the whole "I'm ready to die" thing blindsided him something fierce and it threw him off. In a way I'm glad he was able to have this experience because he certainly grew because of it, I believe it ended up making him a better doctor.
Personally I don't really agree that a doctor shouldn't cry with the patient. I mean, sure, don't overdo it, but when my grandpa had just passed away at the hospital the nurses (I think they were all nurses) cried with us and hugged us (pre-covid) and I really appreciated that
I'm enjoying watching your Scrubs reactions. It's been years since I watched that show, and it's helpful to get your wisdom and perspective on the issues that come up.
I love the show enough to watch you react to every episode. The highlighted sections like you did in this one are best for RUclips, you could do a full reaction on Patreon for people like me. :)
You may know where the medulla oblongata is, Turk theoretically should know where the medulla oblongata is, but the question is, does that kid know where the medulla oblongata is? Turk just scammed him for his dessert.
There's a good episode is season seventh called My Number One Doctor that talks about people with chronic conditions wanting to end their life (trying not to give away any spoilers). It explores the ethics of situations like these, particularly patient autonomy and confidentiality, which I find really interesting.
I completely applaud your decision to do only the Ten Best Scrubs episode. I've urged several of my favourite reactors to do exactly that, when they're contemplating embarking on a new series and standing aghast at the prospect of the 200+ episode Mount Everest before them.
Scrubs despite being a comedy can hit pretty hard. Like this episode or My Lunch or the episode where Cox's brother-in-law died...OH! and My Princess. it's not as sad as this one, not directly but it's bittersweet and one of Cox's cutes episodes. It really humanized this doctor further
I absolutely disagree with you on the subject about crying. If I am going to die and my Doctor would show so much love and empathy that he starts crying that would not only be the biggest sign of attention that I could get as a patient, but what's most .important it would be the best proof for love and compassion, so I would go with the feeling that I touched someone here on earth. Other than that love your reactions especially the full Episode ones. I am a new subscribet and have seen a lot of reaction Videos on scrubs with other Doctors but love yours the most, because you seem to enjoy the show rather than just having always the need to point out what is accurate, like the other Doctors. This can be sometimes very annoying. ❤
Incredible episode, made me tear up, and just an opinion: i would love to see your reaction to full episodes like the previous video on Scrubs. Also i absolutely love your anecdotes and medical info, i always had the curiosity on what an actual dr would say. Aaaand i think i'm not the only one thinking that watching you do react videos on every Scrubs episode in order, would be amazing haha, cheers! Thanks and stay safe!
I don't think this episode is the "My Mentor" (Scrubs Season 1 Episode 2) but it truly seems like "My Old Lady" (Scrubs Season 1 Episode 4)... {probably?} Either way - love your reactions and hope you do continue making more of them. The medical profession sure is my dream job - one I am now striving to reach presently, and until I do, Scrubs and reaction channels like these are the platforms where I can experience the closest thing to what a doctor's life is like.
I love listening to all the anecdotes. Some of them make me think I could be a doctor if I applied myself. Unfortunately my ADHD, Autism and traumas prevented me from completing my original education (Bachelor IT and Management), even after re-starting the final semester at 3 different colleges. I just couldn't find the focus and peace of mind. Several years into therapy I decided on not trying again to obtain the degree, as I never had trouble finding work at that level and found peace with the decision. Now I have more than plenty of work experience on my CV at the bachelor level and higher, but no piece of paper saying I obtained the degree. I'll never earn as much as someone with the degree and my age but I never cared for wealth, so it's fine.
I have that exact degree ... and I don't work in IT because I never got a job. They all required 3-5 yards of experience. (but were clearly not willing to provide that experience, so how did they expect people to get it?). Maybe it would be possible for you to get the degree gradually over a longer period of time?
It’s kinda nice being ready to die. There’s too much panic and regret in clinging to life. It’s the same as fear of failure. If you open up to rejection and death, you gain so much more opportunity and experience that enriches life even more. It’s an ironically positive mindset.
They are in a ICU, that´s were the one in three comes from. Actually the network tried to talk the wrtiters out of what happens in the end but, well...
I just watched "My De Ja Vu, My De Ja Vu" react video, and, despite watching _SCRUBS_ in its entirety a couple of times, I don't think I ever noticed that Elliot's patient in this episode is the same actress as Dr. Cox's patient in the other episode. Maybe I'm wrong...
7:00 I hate that death, non-treatable illness and pain have such distorted views in modern medicine. We have the means to prevent so much suffering but even the word "euthanasia" is taboo in so many societies. I am glad I live in The Netherlands, where most people understand and accept it and many doctors will perform it when the patient's wishes are made clear. No one should have to suffer a painful slow death just because of some idiotic principles others have.
This remin me of my one long-term care resident I was close with in between my rounds her dementia was so bad so she wouldn't get lost she would hold my hand and I'd walk and she'd roll right beside me with her wheelchair up and down the Halls most of the night up until she passed away my colleague had to step in and take over the patient to finish up where she was being sent for her funeral because I couldn't regain composure because she just wasn't a normal patient she became my friend I would walk with every night at work
I'd like to hear more about your patient with Munchausen's. I've had a morbid obsession with Munchausen's and MBP (mostly because of the latter's depiction in movies and the Gypsy Rose case, as well as the trend to fake mental disorders online, which I know isn't necessarily Munchausen's but it's related). Why was he often leaving the hospital if he was inflicting his ulcers for medical attention? Wouldn't he be happy to be "sick" and in a hospital? Or was he just getting tired of sitting around the whole time and got up and left because he knew he wasn't "really" sick?
i love that you did this episode! i think a lot of reaction videos ive seen are either the first episode or the episode My Lunch (based on a real case) but there are so many other good ones! next you should react to the first episode with Michael J Fox in it. season 3, episode 12 My Catalyst. Season 1 episode 7 My Super Ego is also good!
I think Maybe the number might be correct If you count how people have to come back multiple times? So its not every third visit but every third person who ever comes there will die there at one point or another?
1:16 late comment i know, but something tells me that might be bad math lol 100 x 50,000 would be 5 million just found these videos today and been enjoying, just wanted to a little lighthearted ragging on that
No, 1 in 3 seems accurate. The hospital in my hometown, I kid you not. Guy went in with a sprained ankle. He did not walk back out. And no, that's not a pun because they always wheelchair you out. He straight up died there. Obviously something else other than the sprained ankle killed him, and I'm not privy as to what it was, but some hospitals... you learn to avoid them like the Plague. Because that's probably roaming the halls, too.
I know I’m commenting on your stuff late but literally 1 in 3 people who enter the hospital do not come out… that could be because they’re already terminal, because they get sicker there, or because of a mistake by staff. Your personal stats/experiences don’t change that number.
I enjoyed the video....and then I cried...and I'm still crying. Though I think the most heartbreaking episode of Scrubs I've seen is when Dr.Cox was doing everything he could to save a patient, and he lost them... But I remember him being so angry and upset at himself and the situation. I don't remember much else with the episode.. who the patient was , to him as such... but it is sad :/
I was a nurse, and death was so rare that even the senior nurse on duty had to consult the written instructions for how to prepare a corpse. Hospitals are mostly focused on preserving life
I feel like doctors suppressing their emotional response to people dying is just sad. I get that dying is about the patient… but like. Shit man. If you cry about someone’s situation then that is going to make that person feel like they matter. Or even feel like their own internal mess of emotions is a little more justified. I don’t want doctors being overly emotional when they’re expected to make decisions and snap judgement calls about treatment. But *feeling* things and sharing that with patients isn’t necessarily bad either.
I think the world is truly divided into 3 group of people sheeps, wolfs, and sheep dogs. Dr Syl you definitely are a good person at heart sadly I am not, you have a gentle touch and connect with people me, for me I'm a straight shooter get the mission done person. That's why I turned away the path of being a doctor or nurse but a military personnel
Completely disagree about the crying part. The lack of crying is actually going to make some people view you as a machine who could care less about them.
I Never liked scrubs. It always bothered me that one moment they’re acting like silly people and the next they’re strict medical professionals. I never bought those sudden jumps from one character type to can’t be a fool one moment and a competent medical professional another. I just didn’t believe that aspect of the characters.
So you think professionals can never have any fun, never joke around at all and are always 100% strictly serious throughout their entire life?You never cracked a silly joke with a friend, but acted all professional to a customer at your job? You, my man, have a very strange view on life and people.
Honestly, if I was going to die in a hospital and my doctor cried, it'd be the biggest relief and comfort for me. To know that I wasn't just some random person that died in their care, or just an organic money printer for the hospital. To cry about something, means that you have to care about that something. Rather be delivered that news by someone in tears than someone just reading off a clipboard.

YES! Totally. I would feel so much less alone.
I don't know. It may make me more scared.
Yes. My father was a frequent flyer with our local ems his last year. On his last call out one of them was wiping away a tear just before they called it. Maybe not professional but she cared. She had examined him almost monthly by then. And talked to him everytime, rode in the back with him.

Thanks so much for sharing. It’s wonderful that you are embarking on this incredible venture of understanding the mind. Good on you!
That part where the young doctor gets a hug from the older woman dying. I would think even that would help so much. I mattered to someone and made a difference and they allowed me to embrace them. I think its really beautiful.
The one in three statistic is real, a third of people admitted to hospital will eventually die there, it doesn't mean they die on that visit but they will eventually die in hospital care.
If I remember correctly, this was actually the first episode where they tried to have the big emotional moment like that, and it definitely paid off.
The studio wanted all three to survive, the creator was adamant about all three dying.
Yeah they were willing to negotiate one dying and Lawrence kept saying no they’re all dying until they acquiesced lol
I am a lab tech and we did a LOT of covid tests in my old lab. Very regular patients sometimes, mostly the old and fragile. When you see the ct values on the PCR drop, drop, drop and suddenly - no more tests (Ct gets lower, the virus load rises). It honestly made me sometimes just go out of the lab and trying my hardest not to smash my head in the wall out of frustration. It can be hell in that field. But you have to focus on the wins there.
If im not mistaken, the lady that died that JD hugged returns in the last episode in his imagination as he's leaving the hospital.
She did
she is in an episode in the 4th season as well.
It's understandable if you don't have time to go through the whole episode but I really appreciated that on the previous video you did sit through and show your reaction to the whole episode. Still a great video and always happy to watch a scrubs reaction video.

@@DrSyl scrubs reaction can't be too long! Impossible!
@@DrSyl Please do a poll so I can vote for full episode! 😁
I definitely enjoyed the full episode breakdown
Full episodes!! those who request short videos are probably not people who enjoy reactions in general ahahah
Scrubs was such a perfect balance of funny and emotional. It could be both a show you can just turn your brain off and de-stress and a show that makes you think about the important things. May not be a 100 percent medically factual but its still very well done
The really good thing is the field of medicine is always advancing, so it's natural for a show that's over 20 years old to be out of date.
I do love Scrubs, between like 2009 and 2012 I didn't have any cable TV or internet connection, so I had my Scrubs box sets that I watched on loop. So it really holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for doing these!

Gosh I forgot that one hits in the feels. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the comment KC!!
That delivery guy is one of the producers. Which is why he's never on screen very long.

Well on the one in three statistics he did rule out maternity and emergency admissions.
Spoiler: Sacred Heart IS a very bad hospital. The show was shot in an "abandoned" hospital, haunted by exactly 964,271 ghosts.
Respect to doctors. Iwouldnt be able to work under that stress
You’re watching Scrubs in scrubs ☺️👨⚕️
Hahahahahaha
New title for the series!
I'd like to hear more about your patient with Munchausen's. I've had a morbid obsession with Munchausen's and MBP (mostly because of the latter's depiction in movies and the Gypsy Rose case, as well as the trend to fake mental disorders online, which I know isn't necessarily Munchausen's but it's related). Why was he often leaving the hospital if he was inflicting his ulcers for medical attention? Wouldn't he be happy to be "sick" and in a hospital? Or was he just getting tired of sitting around the whole time and got up and left because he knew he wasn't "really" sick?
i love that you did this episode! i think a lot of reaction videos ive seen are either the first episode or the episode My Lunch (based on a real case) but there are so many other good ones! next you should react to the first episode with Michael J Fox in it. season 3, episode 12 My Catalyst. Season 1 episode 7 My Super Ego is also good!
Do 'em all. I'm sure you have the time. :-)
I think Maybe the number might be correct If you count how people have to come back multiple times? So its not every third visit but every third person who ever comes there will die there at one point or another?
Weird Al taught me the different hernia types through song. Please review his Living with a Hernia video.
Wouldn't one in three die mean that two thirds survive as you said
Did you k ow it was the late grate sammy the guy who played ted and his band did the song I believe in this episode
1:16 late comment i know, but something tells me that might be bad math lol
100 x 50,000 would be 5 million
just found these videos today and been enjoying, just wanted to a little lighthearted ragging on that
Love the reviews but I could have sworn the title for this Episode is My Old Lady not My Mentor.
I would love to see a reaction to the whole episode
Cool that’s great feedback!!
No, 1 in 3 seems accurate. The hospital in my hometown, I kid you not. Guy went in with a sprained ankle. He did not walk back out. And no, that's not a pun because they always wheelchair you out. He straight up died there. Obviously something else other than the sprained ankle killed him, and I'm not privy as to what it was, but some hospitals... you learn to avoid them like the Plague. Because that's probably roaming the halls, too.
This episode is "My Old Lady"
Whoops!!!
I know I’m commenting on your stuff late but literally 1 in 3 people who enter the hospital do not come out… that could be because they’re already terminal, because they get sicker there, or because of a mistake by staff. Your personal stats/experiences don’t change that number.
My Occurennce, My Hero and My Screwup, in that order, are good. They all revolve around one particular patient.
My favorite hernia is facial with a side of compartment syndrome
I enjoyed the video....and then I cried...and I'm still crying. Though I think the most heartbreaking episode of Scrubs I've seen is when Dr.Cox was doing everything he could to save a patient, and he lost them... But I remember him being so angry and upset at himself and the situation. I don't remember much else with the episode.. who the patient was , to him as such... but it is sad :/
I believe you’re talking about the episode « My lunch », a famous tearjerker.
Yeah...another one was when Brendan Fraser's character died...Cox showed his other side then too
I find it funny you feel the need to point out when behavior is inappropriate on a show that is a comedy/parody.
i was here
1:20 well we know why you didnt go for a math degree
I was a nurse, and death was so rare that even the senior nurse on duty had to consult the written instructions for how to prepare a corpse. Hospitals are mostly focused on preserving life
I feel like doctors suppressing their emotional response to people dying is just sad.
I get that dying is about the patient… but like. Shit man. If you cry about someone’s situation then that is going to make that person feel like they matter. Or even feel like their own internal mess of emotions is a little more justified.
I don’t want doctors being overly emotional when they’re expected to make decisions and snap judgement calls about treatment. But *feeling* things and sharing that with patients isn’t necessarily bad either.
scrubs helped me with the death of my old man gramps.
man i miss him
love the content! keep it up
I think the world is truly divided into 3 group of people sheeps, wolfs, and sheep dogs. Dr Syl you definitely are a good person at heart sadly I am not, you have a gentle touch and connect with people me, for me I'm a straight shooter get the mission done person. That's why I turned away the path of being a doctor or nurse but a military personnel
Completely disagree about the crying part. The lack of crying is actually going to make some people view you as a machine who could care less about them.
So you just don't get humor do you doc ?
Funny story. You don't understand what funny is, you seem to be confusing funny with a crap story 😂
I Never liked scrubs. It always bothered me that one moment they’re acting like silly people and the next they’re strict medical professionals. I never bought those sudden jumps from one character type to can’t be a fool one moment and a competent medical professional another. I just didn’t believe that aspect of the characters.
Have you never met people before?
So you think professionals can never have any fun, never joke around at all and are always 100% strictly serious throughout their entire life?You never cracked a silly joke with a friend, but acted all professional to a customer at your job?
You, my man, have a very strange view on life and people.
