Doctor Reacts to SCRUBS #2 | Medical Drama Review | Doctor Mike
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2018
- I have officially changed my mind about Scrubs! I'm really starting to dig this show's style of humor and the topics they cover. It is not easy bringing up the idea of medical errors and delivering bad news in a way that is easy to understand along with a dose of humor.
I want to watch more of this show so please hit me with some episodes that you really like from the first/second season as I want to watch it in some sort of reasonable order.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this episode of Real Doctor Watches Scrubs / Real Doctor Reacts to Scrubs. If you want me to continue making this doctor reaction video please give it a like and leave me a comment on which tv drama or show you'd like for me to review next. Love you all!

Fun fact: The amount of bones in the human hand is approximately one handful
hmmm, yes, the floor is made of floor
If you put all the bones in your foot in the right place, it will look like a foot and will be your shoe size
😂😂😂😷👍🏼
:D
Correction: the number of bones is EXACTLY one handful.
“Episode with Brendon Fraiser”
Scrubs fans: *oh no*
Oh dear if this episode doesn't make you cry, then wait till *that* episode.
Literally my first thought 😭
I started rewatching Scrubs 2 nights ago. Its been so many years since I've watched it. "Oh no" was exactly my reaction when I saw Brendan Fraser. That poor character.
He needs to watch the follow up
@@Smiley_Kylie
"I started rewatching scrubs 2 nights ago" I already watched the 23rd episode..
I get you girl. I get it.
My doc cried with me when I lost my baby. It made me trust in him even more.
I hope you are doing better. It must be really hard for you. My best wishes are with you.
@@rainbowtrash_1999 I hope you are doing better. I can’t imagine what that’s like but I try my best to empathize with you
@@opticalorange2316 No I’m fine, I guess you tagged me by mistake 😅
@@rainbowtrash_1999 haha whoops. We’ll that’s good to hear
I hope you are better
I had leukemia (AML) last year... and that "this sucks" reaction from the patient really rang true to me. Getting that diagnosis felt so surreal. The hematologist who diagnosed me did it pretty similarly to JD; he was very direct and matter-of-fact about it. He also presented it as "treatable and curable," which it turns out it was. I'm currently eight months cancer-free and counting, thanks to many amazing doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers.
My local hospital treated me (not as extensively as your condition required) and I had a very positive outcome. Afterwards I left a google review for the hospital to say thanks. Glad you're doing better!
Congrats for beating it!
The fact that Scrubs isnt on Netflix anymore is a CRIME
@Nick Soccer and stan
Comedy channel at 7am..it's worth it.😍😂
noooooo
Got all the 8 Seasons on dvd who needs netflix :D
And house
"Just found out Brendan Fraiser is on ep 22 of season one!"
Me: "oh no..."
That was my reaction too! Such a sad episode! So glad he didn’t watch the end!
Where do you think we are?
Bigassboya omg! Even that line is so sad and I can just see doctor cox face fall when he realises!! 😭
Anna Simpson isnt that in the next episode?
V vicke I think it’s just the one episode but may have been across two! I don’t remember!
I love how Dr. Bob asks, "Do you think I made a mistake or do you wish I did?" Showing a very human side. Understanding that the results are very bad and how wishing he was wrong shows that JD really cares for his patient.
You may already know this, but for anyone else watching: Dr. Bob isn't an actual character. He's a reflection of JD's subconcious. That whole sequence of events from Cox first asking if "those are the test results" until he asks again and JD tells Ben he has leukemia is just one long self-indulgent daydream/hallucination for Dorian. He never actually left the room or got the results checked.
@@SaftonYT this explains why Ben's hand wound was "healed" in that scene.
@@TheEpicSpire Exactly.
@@SaftonYTIs this explained in the show, or is it a fan theory?
@@tylarjackson7928 It is shown in the episode. The way it is filmed makes it pretty clear when you're watching it without the cuts necessary for Dr. Mike's editing.
The little hints like Dr. Bob's wording and Ben's injury being gone as he appears on the roof are the first clues, but ultimately it becomes obvious when JD "snaps out" of his hallucination and he is still standing in the doorway with Cox saying "Let's try this again. Are those the results?" Everyone's position in the room/appearance/etc. is the exact same as when JD "decided" to rerun the tests, clearly signifying that he didn't actually do it.
Wait, you’ve never seen Scrubs before?? What made you want to become a doctor then!?
House MD.
Why not
Lmfao. I too haven't seen scrubs but after watching these here they look interesting
@@Merging_semi If you have a used DVD shop, you can grab a season for like $3.

I love how when JD says "Ben you have leukemia", Dr. cox doesnt get angry and question him and then go double check for himself right away by running the test again or even checking the paperwork itself, it just proves that Dr. Cox already trusts JD as a doctor at least in my opinion. I just really love their dynamic especially when the show gets dark
I think you're overthinking it. Ben is not just a patient so therefore I don't think whatever the reaction of Cox would have been would not have been about JDs competence but about how he handles the shock
@@JustLIkerapunzel Personally I think there's an element of both. Obviously Ben/Cox's prior relationship would alter the response he has but if you consider how many times doctors have to give terrible news to patients or tell their families that their loved one has died while keeping control of their emotions it would make sense for a doctor to react in a similar way. Also one of the most common reactions to news of this kind or similarly awful news is to lash out/find someone to blame. You could have expected him to do so at JD and assume there was a mistake purely for that reason and I think the fact that he didn't react in that way does show the trust he has in JD and his work.
Dr. Cox clocks in on JD very early on (the 1st episode when the "good guy" switch between him and Kelso happens) and always trusts him as a doctor. The only one who doesn't know that is JD.
I’m upset that doctor Mike didn’t show his reaction to the funeral scene of this episode. That scene broke me personally, so I can’t exactly blame him
@@watermelonman4411 that episode came about a year later.
*"Fun fact about testicles.."*
Yup! Fun fact is they are NOT called testicles. There's no such plural. The correct terminology for both is testes. But when referring to just one of the testes, meaning the singular, it is called a testicle. Just FYI. :)
I just clicked on the video and then clicked on a completely random part of the video, and boom. That exact spot.

@@raencloud435 Yes and I'm a nurse. I know what I'm talking about.

"Blood is supposed to be inside the body"
Uterus: Imma pretend I didn't see that
Well, it's not just blood, there's other stuff mixed in. That's the stuff it's getting rid of every month. The blood just comes out with it.
I've heard there are some women who faint at their own period blood.
@@hengineer makes sense
I personally don't have a fear of blood or anything but sometimes I will gag violently seeing it
My mother had the best way of explaining that whole situation to me and my sisters when we were still really young. Like her mother taught her: "Human babies come from eggs too. The egg just stays inside until it hatches. Now where does an egg go? It goes in a nest! Your womb is preparing for the egg by making a little nest for it. If no seed gets to the egg, the nest won't be nessecary. Your body will throw out the nest with the rest of the things you don't need. That's what a period is." Brilliant. We were so prepared when that happened for the first time.
One of the main reasons Scrubs was such a good show was the way it effortlessly mixed comedy and pathos; one minute you could be laughing hysterically, the next you'd be staring catatonically at the screen, your heart shattered. No other medical show - heck, no other show, period - has ever been able to do that to me like Scrubs could. The ending of the 'one in three patients die' episode, the one with JD's patient being an actress, where they go into a musical number at the end - and of course the second half of Brendan Fraser's character's story... seriously, the rollercoaster of emotions is huge.
M*A*S*H* was the OG medical dramedy but Scrubs is much more relatable. Great writing shines through on both shows.
@@andiward7068 M*A*S*H* my beloved tbh. I still love the line "War is war and hell is hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse".
dr. mike: “the first one was too... dark. but i’ll try again!!!”
also dr. mike: coincidentally chooses this episode ☹️
Considering he's reacting to all sorts of actual drama shows where there is very little or no comedy, I would suspect that it wasn't the drama that bothered him but the black humor.
i think he meant the humor is to dark, which is true scrubs humor is very mean spirited, and not everyone like that.
At least he didn't pick the other Brendan Fraser episode😢😭😢😭
He could have picked the Ben death or rabies episode lol
😂😂😂😭😭😭
Brain: BLOOD IS SUPPOSED TO BE INSIDE THE BODY.
Brain: Okay. Alright. Faint, and maybe it'll be back inside when we wake up.
at what point in evolution did we come to "well if you're in danger just stop working and lay there for a while"
Antoine A.N I think it’s not supposed to be like that, it’s probably more of an unregulated reaction, because we don’t hunt animals, or slaughter them ourselves anymore, and we are very separated from blood in our normal lives that such responses aren’t trained properly during our development.
@@AM-bj7yo its because if the blood pressure drops to low the body wants to be horisontal so as to lower the the blood pressure needed to get blood to the brain
@@ant-onemusic444 involuntary "play dead" like possums.
Brain: Taking blood samples barely hurts at all and if I look away I dont see it.
Also Brain: Time to faint.
Brain: coughing is for clearing lungs and airways
also brain: Coughing irritates airways so I start to hiccup which sucks it all back in.
Body: Continuesly coughs and hiccups untill DEATH, or untill I cry and force myself to stop coughing.
fml. xD
When I was 15 I caught Malaria and was very far from my parents. The doctor was a young woman and I remember how kind and gentle she was. I was so scared and in so much pain, but she took time to sit with me and even helped me eat. I'm so greatful to her.
It's crazy how humans let the bad things bring them down in life but we always remember the good people do for us decades into the future.
"where do you think we are?"
Who knew such a simple sentence would trigger so much emotion?! :(
I wish he would do "My Lunch" it's my favorite episode of Scrubs.
I'm not crying you are...
@@paxman192 this episode is so sad, but so, good
The episode with Michael J Fox is amazing and a great portrayal of OCD and how it affects people who have it
Lord i was like omg.....hes like me when i was little. Erasing my name SO many times cuz it didnt look right, walking inside right, washing my hands RIGHT....even now i take a whole minute to wash them......okay more than a minute like 2. But still! Thats an improvement! Now i have have stuff symmetrical....its my thing :3
"my Everest"
It's not a fun thing to have for sure. I hate how my brain just won't stop obsessing and worse it causes insomnia when I am worried about an upcoming situation. I try to sleep, but my brain just won't turn off and let me sleep. It thinks about the problem for hours.
I love that episode, too. Having OCD is so frustrating. I appreciate it when it is presented in shows as a way to make people more aware of the struggle we live with every day.
Agreed. I have OCD on a couple of levels, including one I didn’t know existed until I was honest with my health team. It was hard because I was randomly visualizing hurting someone, like “hey, I could push that person in front of a bus” or “I could stab my coworker in the eye with a pen”. I didn’t want to do those things, they came out of nowhere and I felt awful even thinking them but they would keep replaying in my head. I thought there was something really wrong with me, that one day I would just snap and start attacking people. Then I have a counsellor who I really trusted and I told them this and they explained it was a form of OCD. I was so freaking relieved and the meds I went on for my anxiety/depression have pretty much stopped the thoughts from happening. I had studied ab psych in university but had never heard about this subsection of OCD until I was told I was suffering from it.
The second scrubs episode with Brendan Fraser is an actually iconic moment in television
Thomas Winsted yes yes, a thousand times yes!!!
It still hits me in the feels.
Agreed. One of two most heartbreaking moments in scrubs
Season 3, Episode 14
*Pls watch the second Brendan Fraser scrubs episode!!!*
I’d rather have an emotional doctor than an emotionless doctor. The empathy definitely makes me trust the doctor more.
My mom is actually a nurse and used to be in oncology. She got a big award for her nursing abilities. When I was in high school, I remember there was this patient who was 19 that had terminal cancer, and my mom sat with her and developed a whole relationship. Her boyfriend came in and married her and she died the next day. She was able to comfort her husband/boyfriend and tell stories that made him feel as much better as he possibly could, knowing that the staff made her feel as welcome as possible.
Yeah Dr. Cox kinda sucks when it comes to interacting with patients lol
brendan frasers characters story is my favorite from the show and also the downright saddest. season 3 broke my heart and its never easy seeing a man like Dr. Cox so broken that he'd actually let people comfort him.
S03E14 - My Screwup (Kind of the Conclusion of this Episode - "Where do you think we are?")
S05E20 - My Lunch (Story of 3 Transplants)
Prepare to Cry
Yes, these. If any at all, these are probably the best suggestions.
My Lunch just rips me apart emotionally at the end. God that eipsode is such a painful gut punch.
S06E06 - My Musical
BEST SUGGESTIONS!! These would both be great, I would love to see him react to "My Lunch."
Oh man, My Screwup killed me.
I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and just before I was told I heard the Dr and nurse talking outside the room, I heard the nurse say, "I don't want to be the one to tell her" I instantly knew it was bad news. But I'm still here 10 years later so, I win!! 😄 😊
good luck at surviving^^
So happy for you! Have a wonderful Christmas!
I'm glad you're still here!
Merry Christmas!!!! Stay strong girl ❤
Bless your soul, merry christmas!
Every time he talks about how he lost his mum, you can see the pain and sadness in his eyes.
speaking from experience, it's not a pain that ever leaves you, you just learn to deal with it better over time.
I still hear it on my head "I'm not superman"
I am really sorry that you had to lose a loved one. She created an inspiring being, that's for sure! The way you teach things are incredible, if I may add. Schools should be taking a leaf out of your book!
❤️
I legitimately think you should watch Scrubs casually in your free time. It is genuinely an amazing series.
I second this notion. It's a great show.
Not often do I agree with people online but when it comes to scrubs but this series is f**ken awesome
just skip season nine and pretend it doesn't exist and you will be all the better for it
@@Techprep23 What season 9? Scrubs only run for 8 seasons.
It was a great show until Dave Franco and his stupid friends ruined it and it got cancelled.
"WHERE IS HIS WOUND?!" OH man if only he knew
😭
?
I once had blood drawn for a test and they called me like right after I got home and said my red cell count was DANGEROUSLY low and I likely needed a transfusion. My grandma rushed me to the hospital and when the doctor saw conscious, non-pale, perfectly healthy me he had such a confused surprised face haha he immediately knew there was a mistake with the labs
Hey Doctor, Captain here! The reason why Fraser was missing his wound in that one scene you mentioned was because J.D. was imagining the conversation with Fraser. So Fraser was actually just his fantasy without being injured (wish thinking). I have noticed that "mistake" too but it turns out to make sense at the end.
Captain did not fly away, fake captain, can we get a real captain?
Pretty sure it wasn't this episode. Because Dr. Cox was the one imagine Brandon Fraser, not J.D.
@@aberwarum222 true, it's just a continuity error in this one
@@aberwarum222 Dr. Cox imagines Ben in another episode where he dies.
@@OnfireProjects It's not this episode where Dr. Cox imagines Ben, that one is in another season where he is preparing for his son's birthday party and Ben dies. JD is the one that imagines him in this season.
“The first episode was too dark for me so I’m gonna watch the episode with Brendan Fraser!”
Me: “........bruh☹️.....
yeah, wait when he discovers Ben dies LOL
Exactly😞
Fun fact : mothers can delay their vasovagal reaction after a few occurences. Get the kid safe first, and THEN you can faint. Motherhood : a trip.
Scrubs is such an amazing show in my opinion. Every character is written so well that they're all likable, and it manages to go from gut busting hilarious to tear inducing sorrow. The episodes in which Brendan Fraser guest stars are a shinning example of this.
Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) is my favorite character of the show.
Scrubs Season 5 Episode 20, called "My Lunch", it's arguably the most iconic episode and my personal favourite, I'd really like to see your take on it since it deals with transplant patients and some of the harder decisions/moments doctors have to go through.
Yes! I recommended this last time and I just hope he loves it like I do, but if he doesn't watch the show maybe it won't have the same result
I would give my hand to see him react to this episode
I also recommended it last time. Awesome episode.
This episode and the next couple (I guess its techniqely an arc) are my one of my favorites. One of my favorites scenes in the entire series is when JD talks to Dr. Cox and finally gets him to come back to work.
Well said Connor, its a must see.
I love how you said that doctors are human and when something sad happens it's okay to cry with your patients. This should go for all "serious" professions. Be it doctors or lawyers or anyone. The seriousness of a professional doesn't/shouldn't take away the human essence. 😊❤️
Totally agree with you. It does not make you less professional to cry and care!
I am Lola omg yes!!! Be human when you give someone bad news! If they want a hug, give them a hug, if they want to cry, let them cry, and it’s okay to cry WITH them! We are all human and have emotions, it’s okay to show them.
The worst case I see is with the police. So many of the LEOs I know don't want to cry when they have to be the ones to deliver bad news.
One guy had to tell someone that her son was shot by a gangmember. He knew the kid, and later in the week had a breakdown because he kept it all pent up inside
@@DoctorMike That's a hard pill for me to swallow since I'm not really an emotional person.
I love the fact you said at the end it’s ok to cry . I teach nursing students in the clinical setting and one had the opportunity to help with post-Mortem care. I had to explain that it was ok to cry because a life was lost and if they needed time afterwards it was ok to say so. Breaking bad news or the loss of a patient is never easy.

@btamamura they've had to do that with me as well. I used to be an intravenous drug user though. I just celebrated my seventh year clean on Friday there
Hey Doc, just in case you missed it the reason his hand is fine in between is because JD is imagining those things happening. It's a clue for the audience. Cheers, would love for you to keep reviewing this, tis a great show.
They did the same on the next brendan fraiser episode with the camera. God, thats what I love about this show, these details!
Yeah, he even claps and rubs his hands together which is something he obviously wouldn't do after just having surgery on his hand. You're not going to be clapping too hard after something like that for awhile. I think that's why they put the "Cold out here, eh?" line in there. To give us an excuse to see his hands.
But Brendan's hand was still bleeding profusely at the bar while playing pool, that's what prompted Cox to bring him back into the hospital to be evaluated for bleeding disorders
@@emuwarrior13 yeah he wasn't imagining that part.
Ben doesn’t die until his next episode. He is still actually alive here.
Thank u for being vulnerable enough to open up about the passing of ur mom from leukemia. I also can relate to that. There's something so comforting about a doctor with emotional intelligence in conjunction with the normal intelligence required in the medical field.
totally agree, thank you Dr Mike :)
Anjail Bakeer yes defo! My mam had cancer too! She was one of the lucky ones and survived but it’s still a very tough thing to go through!
9:00 Is the biggest respect for med professionals like this. Regularly having to break terrible news like this to people, and still being willing to do it. It's gotta be brutally tough. Thank you to those to do that service for society!
I had pieces of gauze left in my bladder by my Urologist during a procedure to check my kidney's ureters when I was 16. I was in a unusual amount of pain after. After getting some assistance to the bathroom (Thankfully there was one in the room because I could hardly walk from the pain) I asked to be left alone as a teen girl that's not 100% comfortable w/ their body. When I remember starting to pee, remember feeling like this pain was unbelievable, and that's it. My Mom said that I let a blood corralling scream, run in, and found slumped, bent over screaming from the pain. My urine was fire engine red too. I had to be hospitalized and it took a couple procedures before they found out it was the gauze and removed it. This was approximately in 2005.
Did anyone say sorry? and was there a lawsuit? Just curious because something similar happened to my dad
I think one of the biggest strengths Scrubs had, beyond some stellar writing and storytelling, was that it was all based on real experiences from a doctor named Jonathan Doris, and that there was a lot of medical consultation involved.
More to it, they didn't dumb it down, or go really obscure, either - unlike how House ventured into that realm. One episode was even a parody of House, and it was pretty funny, too.
I guess that's why it's said to be as accurate as it is
Do you know what episode the parody is?
@@xJonnaax "my house" s6 ep4
chris Martinez thanks!
They also went onto a website called the Student Doctor Network and asked for stories from real physicians. There's actually a user on there named Dr. Cox who contributed.
Sorry about your mom Dr. Mike
Aw Hu no comments
as soon as i heard the actor say leukemia, i just looked at his eyes and you could kind of tell his mind went straight to his mom
@@meeldowns41682 his eyes were moving normally before he heard that word, then he just stared at one point
@@strateg4play Because the actors are in the middle of the screen so he's not having to move his eyes.
May she rest in peace
Also! I remember being at my first post-op just to follow up with the surgeon and make sure everything was good with the surgery. And she walked right into the room and said, "Hello, how are you? Your sutures are healing just the way I want them to be." And I said "Awesome!" And she looked at the paper, took a breath, looked me in the eyes, and said, "So. You have cancer." And then she just kind of gave me a second. I blinked, and I was just like, "Oh! Okay! So what do I do now?" And she explained all of the next steps, who I had to follow up with, etc. I remember she then looked at me and kind of gave me a look like, "...You alright buddy?" And I laughed and said, "Oh no it's okay, I'm just processing. Thank you for telling me!"
Then I walked out of the office, got in my car, and called my best friend in a complete meltdown.
I tell this story to say that I completely agree with Doctor Mike at the end in that the best way to give the news is just to say it and give space. I wasn't wasting time and energy getting nervous because doc was trying to say something nice or adding disclaimers, or I wasn't wondering like what actually was the situation and what I needed to do about it. It was straight forward and clean. "Here's the info, do what you will with it." Obviously it wasn't easy to go through it, but it made it simple. So yeah that's my two cents on that. Straight forward and clean information, with a little bit of space to follow, is incredibly effective and helpful.
My mom donated bonemarrow to someone with leukemia and 6 years later we got to meet the recipient
*recipient. But that's awesome, and great of your mom to do that!
@@indianawesomeness It's more important that their mum donated bone marrow than the fact they made a spelling error.We all knew what they meant.Don't be that person😑
Your mum is amazing!!! My mum had leukemia and some one donated stem cells and bone marrow and is the ONLY reason we have my mum still with us.She is 11 years in remission.People who donate are absolute angels and so very important.Thanks to your mum💕💕💕👍👍👍
@@purplenurple9812 I acknowledged that it was great of her mom to do that. I also helped her with spelling, which is an important part of language, and she edited her comment, meaning she took what I said into account. Take a page out of your own book and don't tell me what kind of person to be or not to be. Let people live their own lives.
@@indianawesomeness you crack on with correcting people if that is how you want to be..I think it's rude.
I started watching Scrubs ‘cause my dad one day told me “look, a funny medical program”, in that time I was a medical student and my father watched it just because I was gonna be a doctor and he wanted to have something to relate him and me. Now that I’m a doctor I feel two things with this show: the accuracy (jokes aside, I feel that the main point is totally relatable) and the warm feeling of having my dad with me as a support in all my medical related life... which is fun, but at the same time, all the way to the degree and what comes next, was kind of a pain and really compromise my mental health.
Hey Doctor, Captain here! The reason why Fraser was missing his wound in that one scene you mentioned was because J.D. was imagining the conversation with Fraser. So Fraser was actually just his fantasy without being injured (wish thinking). I have noticed that "mistake" too but it turns out to make sense at the end.
I know it's been a while, but there is a 2 episode set from Scrubs called "My Lunch" and "my Fallen Idol" that are - for a comedy show - the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen. Even if you don't review them, they are well worth a watch.
I’m currently in nursing school and I was really nervous about IVs, so an experienced paramedic told me the story of his first IV stick and how his patient was on heparin and just started gushing blood. Your ABG story reminded me of that! Love the channel, love the vibes!
The scene where Ben's hand is magically healed was a dream or fantasy sequence JD has them randomly throughout the series kinda like family guy
Scrubs is the reason i went to medical school. Which didn't turn out too well. So probably not a good reason to go to medical school.
Edit: Since I have 100 likes, I thought I'd elaborate for anyone who might want some further insight. I went to school in the Caribbean. And I graduated and passed all my USMLE exams and started an IM residency right after I graduated. However, I kind of hated rotations and in residency, it became more and more clear that I hated being a doctor. I was always a great student and just thought being a dr was the way to go. So hopefully this helps anyone interested in medicine. Do it because you want to do the work a dr does and not because you have good grades or want to prove something. Just saying. Hope this helps someone.
Lol I loved scrubs too and I hope whatever your career is now is still helpful to others.
You still can be great scientist or good at some less clinical practise, like radiology, pathology, microbiology or in theoretical field like pathophysiology or histology.
A combination of house binge watching and care giving is getting me into the medical field. I start my prerequisites this fall.
Like, this was also my reason 9 years ago, along with other factors as well and I too had a change in career just recently.
This does help a lot actually, because I have an aptitude for science and I’m really good at math so when I was younger the hope for my mom was that I would be come a doctor. And I am becoming a doctor, but just a PhD not an MD. A lot of people, including some fellow classmates, are very confused as to why I would dedicate so much time to school (8+ years) and not automatically apply that to becoming a doctor but I just know I wouldn’t be a good one. I love talking to people and I’m a great communicator but that doesn’t mean I’m equipped to tell someone their father died or stick my hands into someone’s body. I know deep down I wouldn’t be dedicated to the field as much as others, and I don’t think people should become doctors just because they’re told they’re smart. It takes a lot more than intellect to make a good doctor. There are plenty of other fields lacking in professionals which are just as noble. I’m going to graduate school to get a PhD in Oceanography and I want to study solutions to climate change. I think that’s pretty noble.
When my grandma was in the hospital with Pneumonia, she was in a semi-private room with another elderly woman who had a DNR, she passed away that night and her nurse, Carlos, was extremely torn up about it and broke down crying just outside of her room. Idk why some medical professionals try to hide their emotions, but safe to say it changed my grandma’s perception of her time in the hospital drastically

I don’t tend to be one to crush on youtubers or celebrities... but I’m new to this channel, and this guy is getting to me, lol.
How much empathy was written on his face when Zach Braff’s character was delivering the news of leukemia to the patient, the acknowledgement that bad news doesn’t always get heard in a way that sticks when the news is broken.
Plus how readily he laughs and makes corny jokes.
This guy is a good one. At least, so far as I can tell from these videos.
Way to be 👍 Your personality is a big part of what makes this channel enjoyable to watch :)
(Also, I hadn’t finished watching the video when I commented. So want to add I’m so sorry for your loss, (if by some slim chance you come across this comment on an what’s probably an old thread). All the best!
So true! The best thing about Dr. Mike is his personality and his looks is in the second place. Can't tell you how much I love this guy. I wish I knew him personally just so that I could hang with him.
On a second thought, it is good that I don't know him personally. Otherwise, it would be difficult not to fall in love with him and then be awkward in front of him. And the whole dynamics would be different and then hanging out with him would be difficult.
Wow! I just created a relationship with him in my head. Okay. Bye. This is depressing.
@@Jasmine_Sangma hahaha I loved your comment. I've had similar thoughts as well. It's hilarious

@@Jasmine_Sangma haha oh girl I feel you so much
Keep it in your pants jk lmao. I'm a dude and I feel ya.
I always really appreciate when you talk about your approach to delivering bad news. When I was diagnosed with cancer, my doctor started throwing information at me, including the fact that he had a surgery opening the next day, without giving me a moment to process. I was at this appointment by myself as well, so that made it even more difficult to understand what he was saying. Great doctor, and I appreciated his aggressive treatment, but I wish he could have taken more time to actually talk to me when I got the news.
Fun fact: In later seasons JD (Dr Dorian) is actually diagnosed with Vasovagal Syncope. So thats quite a fun thing to look back at
Dr. Mike, those glasses are dope!
that's what i was thinking! i wonder where he got them from, i'm tryna get some too
Should review the next episode with Brendan Frazier it's a gooooood one but will ruin you for a bit.
I'd say that's one you need to watch twice as well.
Agreed
Beat me to it. If you watch this one, you definitely gotta watch the follow up
For research purposes, the episode in question is 3x14 "My Screwup." As others have said, the follow-up episode "My Tormented Mentor" is really good too.
The problem is you have to watch all episodes up to this one to build up a bond with the characters, especially one in question. If you watch it out of it just like that you probably won't get it that much.
This is a great story arc, maybe one of the show's best. The episode following this one, they introduce a wacky oncologist as a B-cast member. Then Fraser comes back 2 years later and completes his arc in a fantastic send off.
I'm surprised you didn't include the scene where they notice Ben is still bleeding and Cox and JD look at each other because they know that something is wrong.
I always find that scene very realistic. I bet as a doctor, you are constantly diagnosing your family and friends without realising
You totally have to react to my Hero and My Screw up.
Then My lunch.
The latter two are super sad episodes, but really good.
yes yes yes
R3fug33 You're forgetting My fallen Idol
@@venomhunter2548 True, but that's after the 3 I listed. I didn't want to overwhelm him ;)
Definitely this.
I agree wholeheartedly. Those episodes still tend to choke me up.
Really sorry for your Mom.
You must keep going, Scrubs is my favourite series of all times (and i saw alot of them, even if now with netflix the quality level is dropped due to the huge amount of them), and the more you see the more you love it. I saw the whole series like 5-6 times from season one to 8 (the 9 is really not scrubs it's a bad spin off, the end is in season 8), and i love it everytime more. Of course you haven't the time to watch all of it, but some other episodes would be great.
I saw in the making of (DVD, in london can be found used for like 1 pound each Season :D) that the two doctors that are consulted for Scrubs are really close friends of the director
, and he started the series after he heard many stories from them (funny or sad). So the accurancy is for that, unlike DR House (that i like alot) that need always rare and impossible illness, or grey's anatomy, that is just romance with a little of medical background, scrubs is based on characters and gags, but for real-like Doctor growing path. You start for fast laugh looking 20 minutes episodes and you end really caring about them and crying.
What do you mean, Season 9??? Scrubs has 8 seasons
Benjamin Herbst yap, there’s no season 9
@@benjaminherbst811 There is a season 9 but it's called "Scrubs - Med School" in some countries and is, like OP said, actually a Spin-off with new characters (even though some original characters are still present)
@@redface66666666 no, there is no season 9! it ends with jd moving to where kim lives to be closer to sam and that was the perfect ending and it wasn't ruined by a 9th season, because there isn't one!
@@benjaminherbst811 well if you say it this way I guess you're right ;P
Just like star wars only has 6 episodes
0:34 you are not alone my man.. she was literally fire in that movie
A male nurse cried while taking care of my mom when she got temporarily paralyzed due to a hernia crisis. It was kind of cute. I felt great that my mom was receiving great care from people who cared about her pain. She is fine now. Out of the crisis and exercising her back and core at a clinic specialized in taking care of back injuries.
I’m looking forward to seeing your take on the episode called ‘My Lunch’. Emotionally drained just thinking about it.
That was the episode with the three patients, if i remember correctly.
LLM-I Eduardo Martínez Reyes Some beautiful, and devastating moments for sure.
Jeremy M. I think he’s working his way to it. ‘My Lunch’ has a more subtle lesson regarding recurring patients as it involves a patient’s fifth interaction w/ the hospital staff; Jill Tracy’s character is said patient & this episode he just reviewed is her first appearance.
Yes, you gotta watch the next one.
Definatly the biggest gut punch in the series.
2 very important and powerful episodes that must be covered in Scrubs.
Season 3, Episode 12 - My Catalyst.
Features Michael J. Fox as a Doctor/Surgeon, struggling with his severe OCD.
Season 3, Episode 14 - My Screw Up.
Brendan Frazier’s back for one of the best/most powerful episodes of scrubs.
YES! M Screw up is my favorite scrubs episode!

Two words - 'My Lunch'
@@trond-ingethingstad2265 scrubs season 5 episode 20
Saw them, sad episodes😞😞😞
my father also got diagnosed with CLL a couple of years ago, has just gone through chemo during the beginnings of the pandemic; but now has the best screening results he's ever had. Excellent platelet count as well as red blood cells and i couldn't be more relieved.
Dr Mike, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I’ll pray for your family as you continue healing. In high school I went to visit a college that I planned on going to med school through. During my visit they told us when in med school if someone in your family dies you would not have the time to attend any funerals. We were told a story of a student at the time who had exams the day of his mother’s funeral and I was heartbroken. A couple months later my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and the thought that school would be the reason I couldn’t be there in her last days destroyed me. I switched career plans and went nursing instead. Thank you for your sacrifices and bravery to continue school. We need more doctors like you 💛
My mom had a cervical cancer when she was younger.
When her gynecologist told her "you've got cervical cancer." Her only reaction was "and you tell me this like that ??" She couldn't believe it, then her gyn responded "how did you expect me to tell you ?"
Like you told, straight to the point and answered the questions
Well, how did your mom want it to be?
@@mangkanor9403 told a little bit more softly
It's a personality thing. Some people want the bad news upfront and some want to be eased into it. Unfortunately, the bearer of the bad news probably doesn't know what you prefer.
@tracy Star that was respectful. She could have been nicer, but it was still respectful.
It's likely just a reaction to an understandably severe emotional shock. Some people tear up, some people withdraw, some act dazed, and some become agitated or angry. The point about processing is so true, it always takes time and is never simple.
Season 3, Episode 14: My Screw up is the perfect follow up to this episode, has Brenden Fraser again.
Benjamin Schroeder please watch this one! “Where do you think you are right now?” Will always hit me in the gut
Benjamin Schroeder totally watch this episode!!!!
Definitely - best episode of the whole series
I love you’re channel and I when you talked about during a surgery of someone counting everything and doing an inventory it really hit home. During my wife and I’s first birth we had a c-section and one thing I remember is someone making sure there was a approximate inventory. It was to the point that they stopped the surgery to make sure every piece of gauze was accounted for. It made me feel so comfortable, I knew that they accounted for everything. Please keep making these videos letting everyone know that you are watching everything! I know this is an old video but I hope you continue it makes a normal person like me “not a doctor” but makes so many people more comfortable!
I truly enjoyed watching your reaction and all the informative explanations you've done ..
keep making more please!
I'm so glad you gave Scrubs another chance!
Me too; Scrubs is too good, specially first seasons
@@santiagocarreno5881 Generally the series is super good! Let's just hope he doesnt review S9 ^^

Season 9? Scrubs finished in Season 8. Never heard of Season 9 - please stop spreading rumours.
I'm glad to hear that Scrubs is growing on you. It really is a fantastic show (coming from a non-medical professional). And it's always nice to hear reactions from people who work in medicine. I'm on the public health side of things, so I have a much different POV when watching medical shows.
Yeah, it was a great 8 season show, and he should just watch all of it.
I'm glad scrubs is growing on you, it's probably one of my favorite shows.
If you like Brenden Fraiser you should watch the next episode that has him in it, it's not only a great and emotional episode but also one of the best episodes of scrubs if not the best episode.
The episode is titled My Screw Up, season 3 episide 14.
1:40 imagine if that happened and instead of you passing out your doctor did
Dude, Bedazzled is GREAT
YES! And the orher one where he is a bunker kid.

urafaget We watched Bedazzled about a million times when I was a kid. I love that movie!
I am a midwife and this week we had a woman who was having her 3rd baby naturally. The umpilical cord was around the baby's neck so the heartbeat of the fetus in the process of labor kept slowing down. Because she was already at 8 - 9 centimetres we waited a little longer but then the baby's heartbeat was at 60's for 5-6 minutes straight. We hurried for a c- section right away. The poor woman was so afraid and she was screaming from fear and pain and she just looked at me and I broke down, from the stress of it all. I was crying with her. Thank goodness all went well. You have to be embathetic with the patients, you have to show respect and love. Love my job though, with the good and the bad that comes with it
Oh wow that’s intense . I’m glad the mother and the baby ended up being okay .
umpilical cord?
Timothy Nyota she meant umbilical cord . Come on like you haven’t made a typo before . It’s obvious what she meant .
?empathic?
Currently 4m prego and crying at this 😭😭 I hope the baby survived
Very happy you picked this episode to react to.
I ALSO loved Bedazzled growing up, I love pretty much all B Fraser’s movies
Yay! Glad you're seeing how awesome Scrubs is 💕 and I'm sorry to hear about your mother 😓 I lost my father to Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma 11 years ago.
You should react to Scrubs season 6 episode 4 "My House", where Scrubs does a kind of parody of the show House

Like erb said .. kiss hes ass 😁
Wow! What a compassionate, respectful response from you, after you watched the situation (at about 8:30) where JD tells the patient he has leukemia. I imagine a lot of people would go numb and not be able to process information after they heard "leukemia." Adding more information may overwhelm them. When you said, "...the way he delivered that news was actually ideal", followed by your reasoning for the statement, was encouraging. I haven't had much luck with doctors having the social perception you have.
Hi Dr. Mike. I’m an APRN (specifically a certified nurse-midwife), and I truly appreciate the way you respectfully speak of nurses and other ancillary healthcare professionals you work with.
You need need NEED to watch "My Lunch". That episode is unreal.

Scrubs comes off as a goofy stupid show and it is goofy but there are some moments in it that are soo series that you just dont expect it . This makes me want to watch it again
WiseWillow it’s so good!

The "where's his wound?" part was a good catch /foreshadowing
How come a full time doctor made consistent youtube videos than other full time youtubers?
Edit: this is not an insult for him im throwing a shade to full time youtubers who dont make consistent youtube videos
he probably has people working for him to edit and put out videos
Make multiple on the same day. Distribute 2 a week. Ta da.
@@brad2751 Also, a 10 minute react-video doesn't take "that" long to edit and it is on a topic that he obviously is quite comfortble with. I wonder how much of this is unscripted.

It's called passion and great time management skills. People make time for what they love!:)🤗
Elizabeth Hurley is *_still_* very attractive.
Actually I would have to AGREE with you :)
It is so refreshing seeing dr. Mike's smile
It makes my day
I never watched Scrubs all the way but always watched it when I'd stumble in to it. Loved the dialog & humor mixed with heavy stuff. ♡♡♡
My father died last year while in the ICU, it was during visiting hours so my uncle and I were there, when his heart stopped, they took us out of the room and asked to wait, when the doctor came to talk to us she was very honest , direct and emotional, gave us time, answered the questions and was thrilled together, I found her very human and thank you for all the care she gave us, made a big difference.
By the way, sorry about this english, is a 100% google translate.
You have very good english actually, I just think you meant something other than "thrilled" maybe "upset" instead?
@@kittymcmeowmeow1 probably, I meant in the emotional sense.
He said Brendan frasier and I started crying. Why did you do this Mike
I hope he watches the next episode, wait, maybe not.
I had the same reaction.
4:27 -- there was a very prominent episode of ER in its final season that went out of its way to introduce the concept of the pre-op checklist being conducted with the patient and full surgery team. Whatever organization first put it together was really thrilled that it got so much shine from the show, as the ep was very pre-hyped because Clooney returned for the first time in nine years and other first season folks were also back, including Carter getting a transplant that featured the checklist.
As a lab tech that has also worked in phlebotomy I kind wanna point out that the most common problem with lab test is actually pre-lab mistakes. Like the blood was drawn in an incorrect way, they used the wrong tube, the tube wasn't filled, they slapped the vein before drawing blood etc etc, there are so many things associated with drawing blood that are SOO important that has changed so much just in the past 10-20 years so alot of people that went to school before that do it wrong. Like with the patient pumping their hand for instance, that can effect test results!
Does slapping the vein damage the blood or something?
