For those not knowing, Elliot's patient is in the early stages of ALS and is hospitalized after what is discovered to be a failed suicide attempt. Elliot's dilemma was deciding whether to inform the caregiver. She chooses to respect her patient and doesn't not tell anyone despite knowing the patient will try again. ALS is a terrible neurodegenerative disease where one slowly loses motor control of most muscles. One eventually loses all mobility, speech, swallowing, and finally respiration. They develop locked-in syndrome where the only motor control they retain is eye movement if they are lucky, albeit with reduced functionality. Basically, you slowly become bed-bound and entirely reliant on others, no longer can talk, can't eat or drink and thus require a feeding tube, and lastly a respirator as your diaphragm gives out. Typically, you slowly suffocate to death. While this all happens one also might form dementia. There is no cure. Treatment barely slows the disease's progress. Death usually happens between 2-4 years.
Unless you're Stephen Hawking, then you manage to live for decades and are like that patient from the episode where the Janitor stashed JD away and was the star of the episode
@mcb0613 Shannon (the lady in the wheelchair) has Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that was continually paralyzing her, and she purposely overdosed on pills in an attempt to kill herself because she wanted to die before she was completely paralyzed.
@@paulakassie6330 Yes. One should have the last word in their own life. At least if your mind is still there you should be allowed to maybe choose a painless way out instead of beeing forced to stay alive with machines and medicine just to prolong your inevadable doom for a year or two and suffer along the way.
@@ruttur1072 she had ALS and failed to commit suicide and at the end Elliot decided to let the patient kill herself so that she could die on her own terms.
@@darkrose8328 One of Elliots greatest Moments on the Show. Its a very loaded Topic even today but i think patients with untreatable conditions should have the right to decide when its time to end it. I think 2 states in the US have the "Death with Dignity Act" since 2007ish or 2009ish where Terminal Ill patients (the vast Majority having Cancer or ALS) can ask for a Lethal dose of Medicine to commit suicide.
@@ruttur1072 her patient, the woman in the wheelchair, had an incurable disease, I think locked-in syndrome. She was going to slowly lose control of herself until she was trapped in her own body. She was hospitalized for a suicide attempt that she was able to pass off as unintentional, and confided in Elliot that she would keep trying until she killed herself. Elliot ultimately decided it was up to the patient if she wanted to live or die.
@@travismoore7938 Continuity-wise, Community exists in Cougartown’s universe, but Cougartown does not exist in Community’s universe. Within Cougartown, Abed appeared in the background of one scene, and a couple Cougartown characters appeared in the background of the second paintball war. As Cougartown is in the same universe as Scrubs, all three shows are in the same universe. *However* Within Community, Cougartown exists as a tv show based on an older British show, Cougarton Abbey, and Abed played an extra in the episode mentioned above. He references these events in Critical Film Studies, where he recounts his performance as an extra. When one sees said Cougartown episode, Abed’s actions do not match with what he said he did. Therefore, these are not the same Abeds. One Abed in one universe views Cougartown, while one Abed in one universe lives alongside Cougartown, and therefore Scrubs.
The patient at 1:34 went to hospital because of an overdose. Elliot joked that if the patient wanted to commit suicide, she should have taken her other pills. The patient confessed that she was actually attempting to commit suicide - as she had a nasty terminal disease that will cripple her long before death. So Elliot never revealed the attempted suicide to the patient's carer, knowing full well that the patient will commit suicide in a few days.
She was suffering from ALS so she tried to kill herself by overdosing on medications. Elliot initially wanted to tell her caregiver but at the same time knew what Shannon really wanted was to die on her own terms because ALS is a horrible disease to suffer from. She in the end Elliot didn't tell on her. It can be assumed that Shannon killed herself after going home.
The patient Elliot was talking to is terminally ill. The other woman is her caretaker. The woman who is terminally ill had told Eliot she had planned to take her own life to quicken the process of death.
"All I want to do is win at something, once." The more I rewatch Scrubs the more and more of a self obsessed and oblivious to the world narcissist JD is
the show's about doctors and they are the center of their world. They and the entire medical community believe that EVERYONE is sick in some way and needs them. No one is ever completely cured and no one is healthy, just plain old healthy.
To be fair, he was being recognized fornsomething he was genuinally good at, in a life with very few satisfaction, qnd his best friend just ruined it for him (and also his reputation) just to rack a win
@@profchaos91yeah, this is a pretty weird situation. JD is a narcissist and (in my opinion) a terrible person, but he is a good doctor and them ruining his reputation could mean a patient requests another doctor, which at best delays treatment and at worst means a doctor that's not as good as JD might misdiagnose or mistreat the patient. I don't like JD but I have to admit that a patient switching from him to another doctor would probably actually be a terrible mistake.
@@weneedaladder8384 i don't agree with him being such a terrible person. He's obviously a flawed character, but overall he tries his best to make some good in the world. He's o viously self centered to the extreme, he's got some sort of diva conplex and he made some pretty bad choiches during the years, but he's also a doctor who spends 70/80% of his waking time helping people, even when not on the clock
In college, we shared a toothbrush.
...I was not aware of that.
libbilation we dud

We did
JD believes in unicorns, Turk believes in mermaids.

A daydream within a daydream? Scrubception?
So THAT's what happened to Professor Slater!

the only show that can make you laugh hysterically and weep in agony all within 15 minutes. Amazing, amazing show.
Watch boy meets world ! Its a lil different but it kinda make u feel the same way ! (but gotta wait till s2)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer can do the same thing.

Thank you! 😊💕✨
@@paulakassie6330 honestly yes. ALS is a brutal disease, worse then death. You can barely live five years with it, Stephen Hawking was an exception.

Paula Kassie I think so too. It’s patient-doctor confidentiality. It’s a mercy that she let it go. Even if it wasn’t technically right, it was morally
I remember this episode. It was so tragic to see this young woman have to go through that. Elliott is a great doctor.

No..
hehe JD wants a unicorn :D
do you think it still haunts Elliot?
What will Haunt Elliot? I never saw this episode.
I saw this episode and forgot what happened.
The patient in this scene most likely will commit suicide.
The patient at 1:34 went to hospital because of an overdose. Elliot joked that if the patient wanted to commit suicide, she should have taken her other pills. The patient confessed that she was actually attempting to commit suicide - as she had a nasty terminal disease that will cripple her long before death.

Annihilationzh good on elliot
TURK XD
Elliot spoke to a ginger person? I thought she was scared of them?
That one's dying, so I guess she gets a pass.
Not until season 8
can anyone tell me what the story between elliot and that patient was? I forgot..
She was suffering from ALS so she tried to kill herself by overdosing on medications. Elliot initially wanted to tell her caregiver but at the same time knew what Shannon really wanted was to die on her own terms because ALS is a horrible disease to suffer from. She in the end Elliot didn't tell on her. It can be assumed that Shannon killed herself after going home.
@@naruchiha21 thx for explaining
You shared a toothbrush?
The sick woman is really gorgeous.The story it self is just depressing
Its a sad but not uncommon Story. I would do the same if i was in her Shoes.
yeah it would not be as sad if she were ugly
what hrrrrrrr i drop so low
Other things they shared... a brown Volvo and Stacey
What else did she need to know about??
The patient Elliot was talking to is terminally ill. The other woman is her caretaker. The woman who is terminally ill had told Eliot she had planned to take her own life to quicken the process of death.
haha

and now theres two more
What happened to the girl with brown hair?
She had ALS and was admitted to the hospital because you tried to overdose with her medication.
***** What's ALS?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Its a degenerative disease. Basically, it gradually makes you paralysed, then shuts down your vital organs. Not fun...

Cox and Turk were genuinely in the wrong for this, and put his reputation in jeopardy which is extremely important as a Doctor, narcissist or not.

I would have set heaven and earth in motion to save elliots patient
and then she would have lived the rest of her life as a vegetable which she clearly did not want
Go take a look at Stephen Hawking. That's what Shannon was going to become soon. I'd never want to live like that and neither did she.
And she would spend the rest of her years hating you for not letting her end things on her terms and dooming her to a life trapped in a useless body.
