I liked this reaction a lot, you might want to react to the episode just before this one too. "My Catalyst" it introduces Dr. Casey and focuses a little more on OCD and also has themes of competitiveness in medicine.
I appreciate every doctor, who humanizes and puts a face to the profession. This sort of outreach really helps us all feell better about or medical system and we for sure know just how much good a caring doctor can do :)
With the medical classes I have taken to this point, I have so much more respect for anybody who can do the job you do. It's not like I didn't have the respect for you before, but knowing a small portion of all that you have to know, my respect has grown exponentially.
Kelso has to be the villain because he knows that going up against the corpos running the hospital is a Sisyphean endeavor. He takes the brunt and focus of everyone's frustrations so that he can channel that energy towards his work.
I have been very blessed to get fantastic Doctors and Nurses. It’s Christmas Day and right now there are. Health Care professionals working who can’t be at home with their families. Please remember them and thank them for their help when we need it the most. Thank you Dr Jess for the vein videos!
I really wish Michael J. Fox had been well enough to do more episodes. He would have been a lovely reoccurring guest star, if he was able. On a different note, the hospital I was recently in, had 4 different closed down wings. I was rolled through one of them and it was really eerie, lol
I agree! He was a fantastic guest star when he was on ❤️ My goodness! It’s so rare that I ever have seen hospitals have fully closed down wings, and never in my own hospital where I did my residency. We were constantly overflowing and having to divert patients to other hospitals because we were constantly full! I’m sure it’s location dependent too though! I can imagine it would be really eerie lol
@@JessTheMD you should step into rural america, sometime. my home town had a single doctor's office. if you needed help, the closest ambulance service was at least 30 minutes away. and it was a private company that if your insurance wasn't contracted with, would cost you over 700 bucks... and this was the 80s. that's well over 1300, these days.
That was fantastic commentary. Aaaand subscribed. Regarding Elliot's intubation issue -- Not a doctor, worked as an EMT-B for a while in California. Intubating was for the EMT-P's, but there were many times where I had something I was great at, knew exactly how to do it and had done plenty of times, but had a mental block holding me back. Had a lot of great mentors get me through those situations. Had a couple Dr. Cox's too. And on that note, my first time taking a blood pressure with your traditional cuff and stethoscope while going 70 down the highway code 3 with sirens blaring was EMBARASSING. And I'm very jealous of the fancy gurneys with automatic lifts that I see now, I did not have that luxury!
I love this episode, especially Kevin Casey, bunk, bunk , and Dr Cox’s competitive relationship. Did you do My Overkill? We actually met Colin Hays at a small concert in Milwaukee. Anytime they incorporate music into an episode they seem to pick the right song.
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers than this. I follow a lot of these popular UA-cam doctors and your content is right on par. Keep up the awesome work, and let's get some algorithm lovin'. Great job.
It's interesting to me that both this show and Rick and Morty do a whole episode devoted to the concept of pooping somewhere special and sacred, like going outdoors but still having the comfort of a flush toilet is all many of us long for in our modern confusion and anomie
I'm an educator, and I've noticed so many overlaps between how teachers and doctors think. It's why I love the show, but it's also why love the reaction episodes. I wish they had an education-related show that was remotely accurate. Bill Lawrence took a difficult concept- and made it work in a enjoyable format.
You have to love the attention to detail in this show. As JD steps out of the elevator following hi gurney surfing, there is a distinct red mark on his forehead from where he banged it into the sign before falling off. :D That aside, this episode, as well as the previous one, are among my top 5 episodes, most because of the performance of Michael J Fox. Also have to admit to finding your comments about Dr Kelso not wanting to open the hospital wing delightfully ironic, given the whole show was created, developed and filmed in an abandoned hospital on the outskirts of LA. Some floors had make up and props, some were for the writers, editing suites, and even other locations such as the main characters homes etc, were all done on one site. Finally, in the last season Dr Cox takes over Kelso's job after the latter is forced into retirement, and they become friends, though this was kept secret for a while. One of my favourite lines in the whole show is Kelso admitting their secret friendship, "...has the thrill of having an affair without all that exhausting sex." :D I hope you'll forgive this minor spoiler, but I think it's OK because you don't seem to be doing a full series review. Please correct me if I am wrong in this assessment.
Haha! I am not doing a full series review, and I also watched scrubs a TON way back when. To the point where I could quote most of it 😝. It's been a while since I've watched it all, though, and I seem to have forgotten a lot of the details 😝
@@JessTheMD I'm glad I gave no key plot points away. :D If you have the time, I'd be interested in your opinion on something. How do you feel about people coming to you with legitimate medical issues, who go on to tell you what they think is wrong based on a TV show? I ask because I've what I've been told is the rare combo of solar urticaria and delayed pressure urticaria. I saw a team of specialists at the local state hospital (I live in Western Australia) who took a while to diagnose the DPU (based on the body's reaction to the pin prick from a blood test), but took a lot longer to get the solar urticaria diagnosis, in part because of their reluctance to test me after i suggested it could be the problem. I believe this reluctance stemmed, at least in part, from admitting that I had been inspired by two key factors. The firstwas the chance intersection of work conditions and increased symptomology, ie the reaction got worse when I worked during the afternoon as opposed to the night shift I habitually worked. The other was watching the House episode "Finding Judas", which featured as his main patient a young girl with erythropoietic protoporphyria. As soon as I mentioned House the specialist seemed to clam up and would not test me, citing the unlikelihood of my suggestion being correct. I know you're trained to "look for horses instead of zebras", but by this point the team had exhausted pretty much every other diagnosis, and only tested me after 6 months of nagging on my part. So back to the original question, would the source of inspiration from a patient with a chronic, hard to diagnose medical issue bug you? Or were the specialists I saw just a-holes?
Scrubs is one of my favourite shows of all time, I've seen it a bunch of times so I'm always interested when a real doctor comments on the series. I also would recommend S1E4 "My Old Lady" and S5E20 "My Lunch". These are basically the most dramatic episodes of the show but I think the medical situations in them are interesting. :)
7:08 kinda disagree on that one clearly it’s rush hour in the hospital and people are coding and there is a lot of work, putting on yourself more extra work can make you frustrated not to mention we are talking about Dr. Cox here sometimes if you want to improve you just need to take helms yourself
I get that… there’s a lot that trainees should be looking up and learning on their own. But I think for something as important as intubation, that would be a thing I would expect an attending to work on with a trainee 😊
As a PCT, I can concur that there are many things in patients’ rooms that I would never touch without gloves on. Heck, there are things I barely want to touch even double gloved. 😁
That's such a great episode. I can't remember if it's this episode or the one right before, where Michael J. Fox can't stop washing his hands post-op. It's such a powerful scene.
My assumption with the wing of the hospital being closed down was maybe that it has some serious issues that give it way higher maintenance costs, and that's why it runs at a loss.
Compulsions being contradictory is hell when people around you take them as proof that they aren't valid and feel like you're just making excuses or even gaslighting them.
@@JessTheMD you speak as a doctor, family member, or patient? I have a rather severe case, initially misdiagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia, which had me suicidal or in and out of hospitals for 4 years, disabled for 8. I slowly improve, but a safe place to sleep and eat without threats from people who are trying to help but don't understand would make a huge difference
@@JessTheMD finding affordable psychiatry is also hard. Finally got a therapist i love, but she's not specifically ocd trained. Medicines are more trouble, when one corporation has a total monopoly on medicaid based psychiatry in my area, and is pretty terrible
Intubations are not as easy as they let on, as a retired Respiratory Therapist I know everyone’s airway is different. The best at dropping the tube are usually Anesthesiologist , Ed Dr.and Respiratory Therapist.
💯💯💯 you’re right, they’re definitely not easy!!! At least at my hospital, the IM residents did get quite a bit of practice on their MICU rotations though 😊
@@JessTheMD He's done some interviews with people like Conan O'Brien about his upbringing and dealing with his OCD which he was diagnoses with at an early age. He also was doing the obsessive tapping and other behaviors. I think it also comes across in some of the work he has done. In Garden State the character he created starts off in a very emotionally shut down state then gradually wakes up over the course of the movie. He also openly discusses his ongoing issues with depression and anxiety and later in life being surprised to discover that some people don't have these issues. He's an interesting guy and I think a lot of that comes out in the JD character. Who can be very goofy, but then has some very deep epiphanies. Even without a roof toilet in the mix.
Elliot freezing over her botched intubation is less about her competence and more a learning moment about slowing down some and making sure you're focusing on the task at hand. I know WAY too many nurses (all of whom are friends and my Non-Nurse friends think I go and hang out at hospitals so I can know so many personally) and they've told me about how much they love to gab while working, but would never even be thinking about something other than the task at hand if it was a potentially life altering procedure (I don't know if any of my friends have done intubations, but I do know an ICU nurse and I think if anything she would have potentially done it)... but if you need to be intubated that's not the time to be talking about your personal melodrama... that's the core of Elliots problem in that moment... imo. THIS COMMENT WAS TOO LONG. Tldr, I have too many nurse friends and they pride themselves on being amazing multitaskers but would never be trying to talk about personal drama during a procedure where in messing up could be disastrous/life threatening for a patient. Also, I get why Jess doesn't like how Cox handled the situation.
You totally make an excellent point! Usually, outside of scrubs world, in the real world, if you’re doing an intubation, you’re focused on it because the patient is fatiguing or unresponsive or whatever the reason for intubation is, so definitely her lack of focus contributed! If she were a doctor in the real world, I bet she would absolutely NEVER make that mistake again. That’s the point of residency I think - to learn and to make absolutely sure you NEVER make these mistakes when you’re the attending and making the important calls. Obviously, that’s not to say that residency is just practice, because people’s lives are still in the residents hands, but the attending is there to back the residents up for a reason. Cox caught the mistake quickly and helped fix it - that’s the point. But regardless - it was a mistake that Elliot shouldn’t have made and I bet it’ll never happen again 😊
I have 2 sisters, so (if my younger sister was older than 14 at the time) I would have had a difficult time with that 😉 I did end up making my older sister matron of honor and younger sister maid of honor…. That’s how I got around that 😝 all this to say that everyone has different circumstances! ❤️
@JessTheMD well, I'm a complete recluse. A real loner. I keep my circle of friends SMALL. Like, I'm 42 and I would call only 3 people a friend throughout my life. Even when I was in the marines I made no real friends, just acquaintances. And of those three friends, there was one who I got really close to, the kind of friend you could tell anything. He was my best man naturally.
I make it a point of not getting to know the boss and not liking them deliberately. Not hate, mind you. It's just easier for me to not like my employer. I don't want to think of them as family or friends. Even were I doing a five day a week job, that's over 65% of my days of the year around my boss and coworkers. That other 35%, for the sake of my sanity, I like to think that they stop existing in my world once I clock out. As for Kelso, that's gotta be a tough position to be in. You're fighting the board, fighting your employees, fighting a system that values profit over service, fighting all day. Gotta be exhausting. It's easier to not be liked in that position than thought of as a friend. It's a position in which shit is being rolled uphill and downhill and you're caught in the middle, deciding which shit gets pushed up, which shit gets pushed down, which shit you dodge, and which shit just has to hit you.
I totally understand. Everyone handles their work/life balance as they feel they need to for themselves 😊 It’s interesting that after Kelso is out of the position of chief of medicine, he becomes more relatable and more of a mentor to everyone ❤️
@JessTheMD the pressure was off both him and his former staff. Neither had expectations of each other beyond just being human. It had to be a massive relief to Kelso, just being able to be human after all those years. No longer having the weight of the world on his shoulders. Likewise, it had to be a massive relief to everyone else, no longer having to fear repercussions from him- except Ted, of course. They could all just finally talk to one another.
Not excusing his cheating but I don't think Dr. Kelsos wife loves him anymore which makes me really sad because to me it seems like he's a guy that really has a lot of love to give but he can't give it at work and he can't do it home either. His wife hates him and his son only wants his money. The only people he can unwind with are the people that work with him outside the hospital and his so called masseuses. Which is why I believe in later seasons retirement was one of the best things that ever happened for him.

The problem I had with Elliott s toilet epiphany is no way to clean her hands before the intubation.

I have 2 sisters, so (if my younger sister was older than 14 at the time) I would have had a difficult time with that 😉 I did end up making my older sister matron of honor and younger sister maid of honor…. That’s how I got around that 😝 all this to say that everyone has different circumstances! ❤️
@JessTheMD well, I'm a complete recluse. A real loner. I keep my circle of friends SMALL. Like, I'm 42 and I would call only 3 people a friend throughout my life. Even when I was in the marines I made no real friends, just acquaintances. And of those three friends, there was one who I got really close to, the kind of friend you could tell anything. He was my best man naturally.
I make it a point of not getting to know the boss and not liking them deliberately. Not hate, mind you. It's just easier for me to not like my employer.
I don't want to think of them as family or friends. Even were I doing a five day a week job, that's over 65% of my days of the year around my boss and coworkers. That other 35%, for the sake of my sanity, I like to think that they stop existing in my world once I clock out.
As for Kelso, that's gotta be a tough position to be in. You're fighting the board, fighting your employees, fighting a system that values profit over service, fighting all day. Gotta be exhausting. It's easier to not be liked in that position than thought of as a friend. It's a position in which shit is being rolled uphill and downhill and you're caught in the middle, deciding which shit gets pushed up, which shit gets pushed down, which shit you dodge, and which shit just has to hit you.
I totally understand. Everyone handles their work/life balance as they feel they need to for themselves 😊
It’s interesting that after Kelso is out of the position of chief of medicine, he becomes more relatable and more of a mentor to everyone ❤️
@JessTheMD the pressure was off both him and his former staff. Neither had expectations of each other beyond just being human. It had to be a massive relief to Kelso, just being able to be human after all those years. No longer having the weight of the world on his shoulders. Likewise, it had to be a massive relief to everyone else, no longer having to fear repercussions from him- except Ted, of course. They could all just finally talk to one another.
Have you seen Tarzan The Fearless? You might find it interesting
I haven’t! I’ll check it out! Thank you!
I don’t think she knows who Michael J. Fox is. lol
There are a few points that he cheated on his wife.
Not excusing his cheating but I don't think Dr. Kelsos wife loves him anymore which makes me really sad because to me it seems like he's a guy that really has a lot of love to give but he can't give it at work and he can't do it home either. His wife hates him and his son only wants his money. The only people he can unwind with are the people that work with him outside the hospital and his so called masseuses. Which is why I believe in later seasons retirement was one of the best things that ever happened for him.
I agree completely with this!!
"Promo sm" 😎
You managed to leave out the most important scene of the episode, too bad.
Which scene was that?
Kelso cheats on his wife ALL THE TIME. And that $60,000 a month. . .he most likely wanted it so he could buy a whole bunch of stuff for himself. LOL
lol! I don’t think it works that way 😝 he doesn’t get that money, but he does answer to the people who do (the administration 😉)
I could do without MJ Fox. Exaggerating his Parkinson's for political reasons.
