Good spot!

I feel like this is better, even if Ritter were alive. But that's just me.

He's also elevated due to the slab of concrete upon which the toilet has been placed.

@@The_Kirk_Lazarus at 00:17 he is not on the slab

Honestly one of the reasons I watched for so long (tho I stopped around S5, and only watched some of the crossovers), he was one of my favorites of the show

Lmao

Well, honestly, it can be a burden. But that doesn't mean it should be blown off without regard for consequences. No one has a duty to be anyone's role model, which is why someone stepping up to be someone's mentor is (can be, *should* be) such a big deal. . But inspiration-source or not, we all effect each other; it's a natural consequence of sharing the same space, society, world... . We should never empty ourselves unto our death to supplement others who can, actually, do for themselves. But how many little kindnesses cost so much less than that, or nothing at all? Giving *that* whenever we can (which is so much more than people seem to think) really does make the world a little bit better of a place, so why not do so? . After all, you never you when you may, as JD says in the final episode (of the seasons that actually count of this series), "make someone, anyone, feel a little bit better".

If someone else chooses to look up to you, that's their choice. You didn't ask them for their admiration or for them to take cues from you. If you choose to accept that responsibility to be someone's mentor or whatever, that's great and all. But it's not some sacred duty you are compelled to follow. Dr. Cox has his own life and problems to deal with, and he did not ask for JD's attention. He doesn't owe JD, or Dan, anything.

@@Robert-hz9bj well, Robert, it is obvious you have never been looked up to. Shame. Might make you strive to be a better man.

@@carolperczak9938 Nah. I've got enough shit to deal with in my life. I don't need anyone else's. I'm all set. I don't require external validation in the form of some rando's admiration. I strive to be better because I want to be better for ME. Because the thrill of achievement and acquisition of new skills brings ME personal satisfaction. I don't do it to satisfy the neediness of an unwanted follower, nor would I ever wish to.

@@carolperczak9938 Well the whole point here was that Mr. Cox secretly enjoyed the attention and admiration lavished upon him by the interns, that's why Dan says you like the fact that these kids look up to you. So that's why he says take it serious, if he expressed to the interns openly and plainly that he doesn't like being doted upon it would have been different and he would have refuted Dans statement, plus we find out just how true that is when Dr. Cox actually wants the Hospital director or head doctor position in later episodes.
