The darkest thing about this series is that it shows that fun & games can instantly go away just like that. Hospital can have fun & games once in a while. But never forget your job is to save as much as you can. This episode was very powerful.
I love the fake-out they did. You hear early in the episode that 1 in 3 patients in the hospital die, and are immediately introduced to 3 critical patients, and you spend the entire episode wondering who's going to be the one that passes and then it turns out "some days the odds are worse than that." Brilliant writing!
A year now, on April 4, my mother died. She was on dialysis, she had diabetes, and even blood clogs and other health issues. But in the end, she died in her sleep. I only cried once since, but not of anything and not because I'm holding it in. I feel at peace, I know she's resting and in heaven. And honestly, that ending, is all I can do now. Lay on grass, and tell myself, "what am I going do today?"
This episode holds a special place to me. Especially now because, at the time of writing this, my grandmother just passed away today and I'm in tears just writing it right now. It hurts, yes. But Scrubs from now on will be what'll help cope, this episode especially. I don't know if anybody will read this, but I don't care: I just needed to write this to get this off my chest.
It’s months later now but genuinely hope you’re all right and that time has helped. Loss is hard, always, and sorry for yours, I do hope you’ve healed since. Scrubs was amazing, at least the first several seasons I watched, and this one episode was one of the best with how it balanced humor with real, relatable drama while not being too melodramatic
The best part about this episodes is that it puts the 1 in 3 statistic up there for you to think about, encouraging you to ask which ones gonna die. Then at the end. All three. Even after it seems to be clear it's the old woman because she won't get dialysis. Fucking amazing.
when i start working as a doctor, i also want an old lady like her. :) i love scrubs :) it's stupid and serious at the same time. it's an awesome piece of art somehow.
AthanasiaJoker well their bio says “16 year old highschool student” So they are probably like at most 20 now. So now where near a doctor yet even they did continue down that route... We should check in in another 6 or so years
Triple flatline. That was ballsy to throw at the audience in the 4th episode of the whole show.
jerodast This episode is what sold me on the show
@@abigailcarroll6982 Exactly. Watching this, I knew I was in for something great
On the rewatch podcast, Bill said the network pushed back on it but he fought for it. I'm glad he did.

I think every fan of this show would cite this scene/episode as the one where they realized Scrubs was something very special.
And the actress wound up back in the series finale, where she encourages him to go on that picnic..

Most shows don't hit greatness that early, but Scrubs did.

The soundtrack in scrubs is so very touching
Every doctor has their first death. It must be the hardest thing to overcome that step.
perhaps one of the most memorable endings in all the series of scrubs.
Damn I barely started to watch this and I'm already crying
Since that scene I knew Scrubs would not be another show, I really love this show af.

I guess I need to rewatch the whole show again. Thanks!
Best version of the song.
Coming from somebody who works for the nhs, it's pretty much like this for me.

death is simply the tax one must pay for having lived, and it comes to all of us eventually.
