DOCTOR reacts to SCRUBS "My Bad"

[@ardwark]

"never take of your pants" sage advice, not just for future doctors but almost all professions

[@ThundaFuzz]

funny enough that later episode where turk gets diagnosed with diabetes, he sees that doctor who always has his patients take off their pants lmao

[@brewski118sempire]

I have had an issue like this. Had a customer who couldn't afford to pay us and she came out in their underwear. I felt like I was in a p*rn movie. I kept my pants on cause even if I wanted to (I didn't lol) I would still have to cover this person bill... And that's going to be a no for me lol

[@AndrewSoup]

there are dozens of us, DOZENS!!!

[@DerEnderwender]

Except for Porn industry

[@jerodast]

phrasing the ethics rule that particular way made me laugh out loud, brilliant

"Never take off your pants!" - Ed Hope, 2023. 😂😂😂

[@lucaslefty22]

Couldn't press quick enough. How I missed these videos.

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

Thanks, already recorded the next one, so it's coming sooooon

[@jessepollack2815]

To be fair, it wouldn't be an american medical dramedy without a doctor sleeping with a patient :) No matter how fired that would get you in real life. It's also an interesting question as to who's taking advantage of the power dynamic here. Sure, JD's the doctor, but Jordan is a board member who we find out can clearly influence the trajectory of people's careers while JDs just an intern, not to mention Jordan seemed to be admitted almost as a formality. It feels like if the genders were reversed and an older male board member (or even Dr. Kelso) were to be one of Elliot's patients and demanded sexual intercourse from her like Jordan did from JD, people would be more sympathetic to Elliot. 1:15 I think what you're saying is good advice generally but also not in character for Dr. Cox. He broke the rules to help a patient who doesn't have insurance, so in his eyes (and in mine too tbh) he doesn't really have anything to apologize for. Sure, it would probably be more pragmatic for him to, but he's never been one to kiss the asses of the board in order to help his career. It's one of those situations where I think the show does a good job breaking from realism for the sake of good character development.

[@keeperofnecronomicon]

Jordon is on the hospital board. And as we saw her vote helped Cox keep his job. She held the power in that situation not JD.

[@oz_jones]

​@@keeperofnecronomiconthat is what they literally said

[@R3fug333]

Yes! So glad to see you continue this. Scrubs is such a good series and your insight is great.

[@scotth8828]

Best dialogue from this episode: JD: Your ex-wife, she's the answer. Dr. Cox: Things that ruined my life, Things that took half my money Things with sharp edges!

[@garrett2439]

Christa Miller had a second role on Scrubs in addition to playing Jordan. She also, over the course of the show, became the unofficial music supervisor (she was officially credited for this role for season 9 but that doesn't count). She chose songs to feature in Scrubs episodes. People would come to her with a suggestion and she'd listen to it, decide if it was good enough to be in the show, then play it for Bill to see if he agreed with her that it fit the moment it was recommended for. If it didn't, she might find a use for it later. So many of the amazing songs used in the show are because of her, including the work of Colin Hay, who was featured multiple times, most beautifully in the sequence where a patient dies and it plays out like a broadway musical, with the cast of Scrubs singing Colin Hay's song "I'm Waiting for my Real Life to Begin".

[@BrainBubbled]

"Never... take off your pants." 🤣

[@tyrant-den884]

Never take off your pants.

[@TheLibermania]

I always thought this... scene with JD and his pants down is one of his dream sequences. Then a sentence from a great episode "My Screw Up" S3 E14 makes sense all of a sudden.

[@garrett2439]

"I always thought this... scene with JD and his pants down is one of his dream sequences." This is not the case. Jordan tells Dr Cox that she slept with JD at the end of season 1.

[@sylviagreybe672]

"Looks like a cat walked on your keyboard...!" I LOLd so hard at that!

[@christophwolf663]

The way you break down medical terms is super helpful. Just wanted to say thanks for that. 😊

[@kekort2]

My cousin broke his femur when he was 7 in a bike accident. He had to be in traction at the hospital for weeks. Then he had a cast over the entire length of his leg that also wrapped. around his waist. When he finally got it off, he has black hair like a grown man's all down his leg. His accident occurred in the first week of summer vacation.

[@oxoelfoxo]

weird! i suppose the hair all fell off eventually?

[@dragonforce627]

Always happy to see another Scrubs reaction from you!

[@Chozo_hybrid]

Wait, Jordan is on the board for the hospital, he's an intern, there's more of a power imbalance there right? She's in the wrong there too.

[@thirdeyetwenty]

When you mentioned the stent or bypass being related to the heart my first thought was "what if he's talking about a fem-pop bypass?" I figured that was just a side effect of watching this video after a TV Sins video but you were right on top of that. Love the video, so happy you're continuing with Scrubs!

[@TheArtsofDoctorSeitan]

I was just diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy back in November. Super scary situation. I fainted and felt like I was having a heart attack. Had to wear a life vest for 6 months until I finally had a test done and a device implanted in my chest. I don't recommend any of it! Nice reaction, as usual.

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

Hope you're doing better now! 🌻

[@pipey3000]

Another great video Dr Hope, please keep them coming :)

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

Thanks Pipey3000!

[@IAmFJ1]

He's not a sleaze who takes advantage of patients. He lacks self-esteem and therefore is a yes-man. Couldn't say no to her.

[@TheLibermania]

Exactly. It was his shy persona that was scared of her. I mean technically she took advantage of his low self esteem. So couldn't you even say that this is a real No-no thing?

[@IAmFJ1]

@@TheLibermania She's his patient but she's also his boss in a way.

[@UnsoberIdiot]

@@TheLibermania It's a no-no thing, but if anyone's the victim it's JD.

[@TheLibermania]

@@UnsoberIdiot That's exactly what i mean. I do like to use the "Other way around technique". Imagine JD telling her to take her pants off.

[@old_arsed_eldergoth2800]

No one ever says no to Jordan- Jordan gets what Jordan wants! Dr. Cox tried saying no to her, and they ended up getting back together and having 2 kids 🤣

[@tntkff9901]

"I don't remember disimpacting a lot of bowels..." Repressing memories?

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

Ha! Love it

[@vhs3760]

Jordan from Scrubs is the love of my life. Did not know she was the wife of the creator.

[@ThreadBomb]

She was also in Bill Lawrence's later series Cougar Town, playing pretty much the same character (which I like).

[@keeperofnecronomicon]

Jordon is in the hospital board, in a way she’s JDs boss. The issue her is not that JD slept with a patient it’s that his superior at work demanded sex from him.

[@JojenReed]

Love your content, you delightful bastard! Cheers!

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

I love your videos man, please keep it up despite the YT algorithm not liking you :(

[@212mochaman]

Another great reaction, thank you. I was watching a scrubs scene yesterday thats always stuck with me that made wonder if you would consider reacting to amazing scenes in less than memorable episodes

[@oxoelfoxo]

maybe you can tell the details of the ep and ask Dr Hope to react to it in particular. he could do a short

[@qynoi42]

I hadn't thought about Scrubs in a while and this is such a fun way to enjoy it again. Sorely needed at the moment, at a bit of a low point with chronic pain. Thank you!

[@lazerapes]

As some people have already discussed, the sleeping with a patient scene. JD has a habit of getting tossed around by strong women. It happens at least 2-3 times in the show. Too afraid to say no, i´m afraid....

[@lizevanjaarsveld3494]

0:47 That's what he said 🤣.

[@theprincessed]

Love your Scrubs/medical show videos. Feels like a classic for your channel 😊

[@earlturk3857]

Always happy to see a Sick Note on Scrubs on my KZbin feed!

[@whymedk]

I don't know if you plan where the adds is in the video, but I got Dr. Hope being dumbstruck and saying "Never take off you pants" and then cut to comercials. Perfection :D

[@danpaddy]

Loving the trip down memory lane with you. I love and miss scrubs so much. Any chance you could do a breakdown of the new Arnold Schwarzenegger series FUBAR? It's got some great fight scenes that might be fun to analyze. Generally pretty PG, too.

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

I've not heard of it! I'll check it out

[@ThreadBomb]

Today I learned that Arnie is in a TV show.

[@Kenjitsuka]

Awesome as always, thanks!!!

[@shkotayd9749]

Doc you and a psychiatrist should review ALL of Dr Cox's rants xD

[@Rasfa]

I was like "do they have insanely large lollipops in the UK or do they just call popsicles 'lollies?'"

[@marcusreading3783]

TO be fair to JD, he hardly took advantage of Jorden, if anything, SHE took advantage of him. He is a meek, shy nerd and she is practically a force of nature who can keep up with Cox in terms of sheer venom, snark and spite.

[@jthomann71]

He's still a professional or at least he's supposed to be.

[@jimmyjamal951]

Just coz she tried/sucseeded in taking advantage of her doesn't mean he didn't take advantage of her/do a bad thing. Sure he's "a meek, shy nerd" but that's not how he acted at all in that situation, we know he was faking it coz of the 4th wall breaks/narration from his pov but from what she or anyone else would have experienced is a dr misinterpreting an invitation into the bathroom and then inappropriately and aggressively telling her off. He's just lucky that she's into that... and we should all be somewhat jealous

[@ThreadBomb]

Not only did Jordan have a dominating personality, but she was on the board of the hospital! So it really was a power imbalance that she was exploiting.

[@akmi1931]

While it is true the “exploitation” was mutual, the reason you down have relationships between doctors and patients isn’t about exploitation. It’s about potentially having those relationships impact your professional performance some time allow the way, which it inevitably will, no matter who instigated it or who breaks it off.

[@alexandercross9081]

Yeah, her personality is "take, Dr. Cox, make woman, make hot, make sure she knows it." Frankly, if she wasn't Perry's ex-wife, she would have been a secondary love interest, as opposed to a tertiary one, though that has more to do with the fact that JD can't see an attractive woman without shoot his shot... pun not intended but I will double down on it.

[@tammyhines1585]

Another great reaction. I really enjoyed it.

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@ericsanford536]

One reason why things like disimpacting a colon might be MUCH more common in the US is that we tend to wait a lot longer to go to the hospital for financial reasons. Generally people aren't going to be there until they've already tried things like laxatives at home and reached a point where they know nothing is going to work and the pain is too much to tolerate. Some people won't even go in then and would have to collapse and be brought in by emergency services. My grandfather died of a bowel blockage because he refused to seek treatment he couldn't afford.

[@Person01234]

Diet might also play a role.

[@nfboogaard]

Lets gooo 🎉🎉 thanks Doctor Ed!

[@nicklynch8092]

I can't remember if you've done it before but the next episode (1x07) is a good one - deals with emotions I would imagine you can relate to :)

[@bros402]

"Never take off your pants" but what if I need to take a bath? Love these Scrubs reacts!

[@user-ok4pk2mp3e]

In one of my emergency room clinicals, my preceptor (a nurse) told me that it wouldn't be a weekend without doing an enema. Apparently, that hospital was in an area with a large elderly population. We also got a femur fracture that was displaced, and the nurse showed me how the leg shortened on the fractured leg

[@BlueJDev]

Quick question, 20 years ago would they really have plastered the whole of Carla's mums femur fracture, down to the toes? 8:22 we can see the cast, not sure if actually even goes up to her thigh either. I heard no mention of tib fib or ankle/foot in the diagnoses. Wouldn't they just have pinned it?

[@aeolanyiramoon6260]

Yay I love Scrubs and your reactions :)

[@empatheticsword3117]

I'm close to someone who had to get a divorce after finding out her husband was having an affair with his nurse while he was staying at the hospital for several weeks. Unfortunately, it's not entirely unrealistic for medical staff to be sleeping with patients.

[@oz_jones]

Like in any other profession, affairs and hookups happen at work. You are after all spending hours on end, at least 5 days a week with them. It happens

[@timfriday9106]

"never take off your pants" cracked me up SO hard. LOL

[@TheLibermania]

So it'a Presyncope i have before a seizure?

[@sonicwind1901]

the wild part that you don't learn actually in the show is that they've only been separated for 18 months when this episode hits. combine that with the episode where we learn that Cox's previous protege also slept with Jordan all of their split is so fresh.

[@Allerka]

I'd like to think that you do the "Everybody say AAH, OOH, AAH" that JD does with the elderly patient. I really would.

[@pruray]

It's weird that you never pointed out how unprofessional the doctor's behaviour was with that woman. She's his patient. He's not supposed to drool over her looks. He is supposed to treat her condition.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

The ethics question honestly goes both ways, because she's a hospital board member who can absolutely get J.D. fired. So it's extremely unethical any way you slice it.

[@judithlashbrook4684]

Does anyone else, who's a non-medical professional, get excited when they don't need a medical term explained by the lovely Dr. Hope? I do; and then I remember that it's because I have so many medical issues i've lost count... presyncopie and occasional syncopie, in this instance, though in my case nothing to do with blood pressure...

[@uekernas]

Please do a medical reaction video to Robocop (by Paul Verhoeven), particularly to the scene of Murphy’s shooting at the hands of Boddicker’s gang, and the subsequent attempted resuscitation in the hospital. Supposedly, the medical team was played by an actual trauma team.

[@oldygames]

You should totally add some more personal stories! Like how your boss made you jump through a hoop, or how you've heard of a relationship between a doctor and a patient that ended bad or good. Maybe also how a doctor and a nurse got to be together?)) I know chances of you knowing such cases are not great, but still, there is still HOPE:)))

[@0002pA]

6:31 Good thing I'm not even wearing any!

[@thomasmain5986]

To be fair to JD the woman in question was a major donor to the Hospital, so he was taking one for the team. In the UK we have the NHS so everyone is a donor, so it's just not possible to sleep with everyone so they help doctor's out by telling them they can't sleep with any patients.

[@alistaircaradec2180]

Probably a stupid question, but would a cast actually cover someone's shin and foot like that for a femoral fracture?

[@Yuri-qr7ml]

[@thecosmicunity777]

Love your videos and love learning all this medical science you breakdown! In the future I recommend Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. or even World War Z cause those are 2 movies that do have quite a lot of medical science.

Stints scare me. I have a 10% block in my right coronary artery. It's mild now, and that's not in my immediate future. I get atrial spasms sometimes and need nitroglycerin. Luckily, it doesn't happen that often. My doctor says, "we'll keep an eye on it." So all I am left with is to try to make healthy lifestyle changes and hope nothing progresses. I'm 55 now.

[@ftavis]

I did fracture the tip of my femur in 7th grade. Slipped on a tile floor on Jan 2 right out of the gate after Christmas vacation. Was it realistic to put a cast on Carla's mother? I didn't get one since you can't really wrap up a hip.

If Jorden has cardiac hypertrophy, then I'm a supermodel.

[@Reqqles]

Regarding it being out of character for JD: I'd have to disagree. For one, Jordan was being very dominant, telling him to take off his pants. It actually suits JD's meekness really well to just obey that kind of order, especially since it's clear he's attracted to her from the moment he sees her. If he'd been the one to initiate the encounter, then I'd agree with you, but the way it went down does seem in character for JD. I will say though, that based on the rest of the series, if anything it's Jordan who's acting out of character. This is the only on-screen instance of her hooking up with a Sacred Heart employee, the only other (off-screen) instance being revealed as the cause for Jordan and Dr Cox's divorce prior to the start of the show. While Jordan probably didn't know JD's connection to Dr Cox, sleeping with one of his colleagues seems like a very hurtful thing to do (especially in their case) and though she and Dr Cox do torment each other throughout the show, it's always with a certain playfulness, rather than being mean-spirited.

[@Thraim.]

Now my tongue is depressed.

[@Anime-Doom]

You say all these medical terms are easy to understand when you break them down. Counter argument... I can feel my brain short circuiting whenever I try to remember the name of my own medication that I've been on for over 5 years. No amount of breaking it down will help when I need to look at the box 3 times to remember it's called Sertraline.

[@PhoeniksStorm]

Speaking of dating or just having relations with a patient. Obviously, while you're treating them, it's not acceptable. But surely there must be a point where it becomes acceptable again, right? Is it immediately after they get discharged or is there a grace period or is it a case by case thing?
