Judy Reyes only has a few seconds of screen time in this but her performance just breaks me. You could see she's on the verge of tears and is heartbroken for Cox and the patient but is still trying to hold it together in a professional manner. Her and John C. McGinley are probably the best actors this show had.
This show was monumental in what it brought everyone, including a lifelong friendship between two of the main characters that spawned some great stories (and commercials).
This was a really interesting moment. The show is full of deep and uplifting talks. JD told him exactly what he needed to hear in that moment. Then, in about a minute, it became the absolute worst thing he could have said.
Cox might be on JD's ass a lot, but this episode reveals why: He respects him as a physician and wants him to suceed. This is obvious from this brief interaction between them in the break room. When JD tells Cox that he would have made the exact same call he did, and then confirms that statement, he almost has him back. And then the worst fucking timing in the universe spoils it all by being the straw that broke the camel's back.
I think there's realism in that too, sometimes people don't get to come back because a series of events just knocks them each time they try get back up, until they just lie there.
I just love the part where Dr Cox turns around to JD and says "yeah, you're right" as he walks out, as his way of saying out of guilt "I can't help anybody like this, I can only hurt them"
I thought it was Cox telling JD that he had already begun blaming himself in the past (with other patients) and that the line "there's no coming back" was actually Cox talking from his own experience.
I always love that moment JD says he would have made the same call and Dr Cox goes "Yeah?", because it's I think the first time we really see in the show how much Dr Cox actually respects JD after continuously refusing to give him the satisfaction of ever letting him know that. Just knowing that JD would have done the same thing, for a brief moment, is about to be enough. It reveals that despite his pretences otherwise, Cox sees JD as an equal peer at this point.
When Dr Cox loses his cool that means it’s serious. I like when the show shows his human sides and that he’s not a superhero, just a man who is a good doctor. Me and my dad cried watching this episode together over dinner.. this scene doesn’t hit as hard as it did then partly because we weren’t expecting it but I can still feel myself wanting to cry watching it. Scrubs is so good at the emotional gut punch, especially for it being largely a slice-of-life work comedy
I was completely devastated on this episode ending. I had too much emotions for an early teen. But that's why I loved the scrubs, at a moment you cry out of laugh and very next second you will get a hard punch to your chest, it punches hard.
It's close. It's real close. I think My Screwup gets my nod because I just wasn't prepared for it as an emo teen. It was one of the first times Scrubs went 180 that hard. Plus Joshua Radin's song was unknown compared to The Frey. Perfect storm. But, again, it's real, real close.
@blackout2189 They are both fantastic and impactful for different reasons. In My Screwup, the twist comes after the death of Ben, so you get to think back on the grief Cox had been experiencing. In My Lunch, the twist is his realization that the deaths WILL occur. I love how the music builds as he experiences crushing, heartbreaking failure. Like you said, it's very close.
Carla's face makes me sob like a freaking child. E V E R Y single time! Damn she's sooooo freaking good!! Her and McGinley have two very powerful scenes, this one and the one when hes at the cemetery burying his brother in law. POWERFUL!!!
"I would've made the same call." "Yeah?" Cox's desperation in believing J.D. would've done *exactly* what he did is one of the greatest moments of this show proving how much Perry Cox respected John Dorian as a doctor. Cox might've been spending years tearing J.D. down, but right from the intern evaluation episode in season one, he made it clear he trusted J.D. as a good physician. This is why Cox reacted to J.D.'s "pick-me-up" monologue in the next episode. Only an annoyingly cloying "girls name" like J.D. could melt the icy facade of Perry Ulysses Cox, M.D.
This is similar to real incident in Germany in 2005. Six patients received transplants from a undiagnosed rabies victim. Two recipients of of cornea transplants survived, a liver transplant patient was vaccinated against rabies 20 years prior and developed no symptoms. Two recipients of kidney and lung transplants developed rabies and died within days. Another kidney recipient died after 7 weeks of treatment (one of the longest documented cases of rabies infection before death).

Could not agree more. She made the scene, nurses need more respect in general
Agreed! I keep watching this clip once every few months just to see her reaction. Absolutely amazing acting

“He wasn’t about to die, was he, newbie?? Could’ve waited another month for a kidney!” Gets me, every single time!😢
one reason i love scrubs is because it can switch from funny to sad in the blink of an eye
It was very good at delivering the emotional gut punch that was both surprising but also made perfect sense.
Scrubs- 15 minutes of comedy, and roughly 8-10 minutes of some of the saddest shit you’ve ever seen. Love this show so much
This was a really interesting moment. The show is full of deep and uplifting talks. JD told him exactly what he needed to hear in that moment. Then, in about a minute, it became the absolute worst thing he could have said.
watching dr cox breakdown and cry is like watching my dad breakdown and cry and it hurts so much

I feel it was Cox trying to keep JD from making the same mistakes he made. Blaming himself for patients' deaths.
You can reboot, but you can't recreate these classic moments.

This actually made me cry! But I was kinda wondering when this song was going to pop up in this show. They picked a very appropriate time.
I was completely devastated on this episode ending. I had too much emotions for an early teen. But that's why I loved the scrubs, at a moment you cry out of laugh and very next second you will get a hard punch to your chest, it punches hard.
this was based off of a real medical case, too, incredibly sad
Army Vet, Robert Smith, his doner Edward Small had rabies.
I know My Screwup gets all the praise, but to me, this is the most heartbreaking episode
It's close. It's real close.
I think My Screwup gets my nod because I just wasn't prepared for it as an emo teen. It was one of the first times Scrubs went 180 that hard.

One of the best tv moments in history. Carla’s performance, the stoic look…fuck. What a scene.
Carla's face makes me sob like a freaking child. E V E R Y single time! Damn she's sooooo freaking good!! Her and McGinley have two very powerful scenes, this one and the one when hes at the cemetery burying his brother in law. POWERFUL!!!
Amazing, 10/10 for this episode
one of the best scenes ever in scrubs...! so sad..
this was the first thing i saw on a tv show that made me cry.
"I would've made the same call."
"Yeah?"

Hardest episode to watch.
Hooch is crazy

Amazing how the did the blankets.
