For a comedy show, Scrubs is great at making me cry. What a show.

[@ricoswagger7076]

Same here multiple episodes made me tear up then bust out laughing and then bawling again. One of my favorite sitcoms of all time if not my most favorite sitcom.

[@Alakaizer]

In DVD commentary really early on in the series, the creator stated that they wanted to have three or four more serious episodes per season, and they clearly followed through with that. Even better, they let the heavier moments have the proper impact, rather than cutting the tension with more jokes (I'm looking at you, That 70s Show).

[@BrendanishLeo]

@@Alakaizer Across all mediums, I think it's a serious issue writers have. I can't say why, maybe because they're worried all the sadness will drive people from the show, but they just can't seem to let something just be what it is: shitty. Scrubs, while not my favorite show ever, certainly understood that to convey important things like this, you have to let it hurt. Because it does.

[@ExplosiveBrohoof]

Comedy is a necessary counterweight to tragedy. If you don't have a world that makes you smile and fills you with joy, then you won't feel the pain of loss when parts of that world are taken away.

[@DmDrae]

One of the very few shows I bought the dvds for.

[@Judgement_Kazzy]

The most amazing thing about Scrubs is its ability to balance things like "A complex and emotional look at the crippling fear and uncertainty of death that everyone faces" and "hotdog pen" in the same episode.

[@ModemX17]

Did you notice after George points out that "foxy little dish over there" and JD has his space out moment the pen in his pocket changed to a hotdog for the rest of the scene?

[@noelv1976]

At the beginning when you said "That's not true, we're afraid of death", I was like "Just wait for it!" Scrubs has better drama than most drama shows on TV. Love Scrubs

[@hensterino]

I wish you commented on George's last words. He said "That beer tasted great." and it was probably his last thought. George laughed when JD said that he hoped his last thought was a good one. Turns out JD's advice helped George after all. :)

Have you thought about a separate video on British euthanasia law especially with your experience in palliative care?

[@Troglodyted]

I want to hear that.

[@rarrmonkey]

I watched a debate on assisted suicide in Briton and I was frustrated with the anti advocates ignoring what the pro side where saying, while the pro advocates where going way beyond to listen and respond compationatly to the points of the anti side. Anti included a disabled woman claiming she would be forced into euthanasia, a Catholic Archbishop proposing his beliefs should be forced on everybody and one other person. Pro had a Swiss doctor who brought literature about the safegards to protect people, a terminally ill person aproching a prolonged slow death and a Minister from a different religious sect arguing for individual choice. IMO it is not a matter of if it should be legal, only what the rules should be to keep people from making decissions when they are not in their right mind.

[@PolarBear4]

@@rarrmonkey I have pretty strong feelings about that. 10 years ago I watched my Mum die from a combination of Multiple Sclerosis and Motor Neurone Disease. It was both fast and painfully slow. 1 year she was out hiking with us etc and a year later she was trapped in her body unable to communicate and slowly dying. We spent her last few weeks basically living in the hospital in her room waiting for the inevitable. I can't speak of what her choice may have been but I imagine her losing everything like that must have been horrific for her and I doubt she wanted to be trapped like that for so long (she basically lost control of most of her body a few months before her death and couldn't even swallow). I didn't really have an opinion before that but I know know that if I end up in a similar situation I want to go on my terms - as things stand that means suicide and I'm OK with that. I can understand people being worried about being pressured into it etc but I've also experienced first hand the suffering caused by things going on and on whilst the body refuses to give up. I know people will disagree and opinions are one of those polarising things but assuming legislation is in effect to safeguard vulnerable people who may be pressured, I think it should be legal.

[@rarrmonkey]

@@PolarBear4 I don't know if you understood my position, or I don't understand your reply. I was saying the debate is only how the law permitting assisted suicide should be defined. All arguments I've encountered against assisted suicide are either flat out wrong or can be addressed with appropriate laws. I don't personally believe someone who is under the influence of mind altering drugs like LSD can make an informed decision. That is the kind of laws I'm talking about. My 5 year old niece died in October from a DIPG and I don't know how society legislates with regard to children suffering from terminal conditions. This is the debate I care about.

[@ThreadBomb]

OTOH, I know of a couple who ended their lives together. They were older but actually quite healthy, and living comfortably too. I think the husband wanted to make some sort of point about "the right to die", and his wife went along because of folie a deux. So euthanasia laws should also have some sort of provision for vain stupidity.

[@karenpaxton]

I shared my father's last week of life with him and my family. Each day he was a little weaker and much more asleep. We were so fortunate that he got to the hospice the day before he died. He had my step mother with him. They lay together on the bed and she played the song he wanted to go out to. They were in each other's arms as he took his last breath. I am so grateful for this for him, and us still here. His last words to me the night before he died, as he randomly opened his eyes were 'oh, hello! ' with a big smile. 😭😭😭

[@JBobjork]

It was always a special feeling when you picked patients up to drive them to Palliative Care. We picked one up at home and the whole family were there... I will never forget that one. And one old lady we were suppose to transport from the hospital to palliative care at another hospital. But when we entered her room it almost looked as if it was too late. We all stood around her bed, then we called for a doctor and after seeing the patient it was decided that the patient was going to stay as she would probably not survive the transport.

[@KaiseaWings]

This, to me, is the cruelty of not having euthanasia. My grandma died a few weeks ago and essentially all care except morphine was withdrawn and we waited for her to die. It was her time. But essentially she died of dehydration. The fact I can let my dog die in peace and comfort, cradled in my arms and still aware of my warmth, my voice, my scent, but I can't do that for a human being is insane. We're forced to let people go slowly, rather than swiftly and gently. I don't want to linger when my time comes. I want to go to sleep, without being aware of it. The doctors can pick a time when my IV sedates me, so I can just go without knowing it. Maybe time it for nighttime, so it blends with my natural sleep cycle. This is with the caveat that I know I'm not going to wake up, I've chosen it. Or my relatives have because I'm too far gone.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Kai Sea I absolutely agree with you. We have similar experiences with my grandparents. It's cruel and hypocritical. I also have the same question bugging me: we claim that humans are above animals (roughly speaking), but animals often have more decent and fast/merciful death than us, people...

[@gentleman_oni]

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Not that I disagree with you.... BUT in nature there are animals that eat their prey alive, sometimes *butt-first*. Others that suffocate or drown their prey. Others that paralyze and inject their spawn inside their prey so that their young can eat them from the inside (again, while still alive). Again, I am also in favor of voluntary euthanasia (in my case, because I don't want to become a burden to my family, so they wont suffer, and also I won't have to see them suffer because of me, that's one of my biggest fears); but nature is freaking scary sometimes!

[@marijaobradovic6346]

Same in Italy. We have to thank to Vatican for that. Eutanasia is also a huge political issue here tackled every time when some right wing politician needs fast votes. Makes me wanna vomit. I would take them to a hospital seeing an actual person duying in agony of some terminal illness without dignity or relief.

[@MrSophire]

Here is the thing, how do you know it will not be a slippery slope. There is a say “how do you boil a frog?,,slowly “. In one of the Nordic countries had a young girl about 15 who had depression. She fought to be a part of euthanasia. She won, there have been stories of elderly folks who had dementia and their family pressured them to get it. As a Catholic, you’re life ends when it is your time, yes you suffer but that is apart of life.

[@marijaobradovic6346]

@@MrSophire In my opinion religion should never be a part of the talk about euthanasia. I think that people should be free to decide how they want to end their life. We are talking about dignity here. I remember the case of the 15 yrs old girl with depression, and from expereince I know that depression has many shades and it is quite a nasty thing to have. I cannot decide for her, I can decide for me. In switzerland is it legal, but not that easy to obtain. These is a board of doctors and other specialists who decide if it should be granted and it costs a lot. That is why I will have my biological testament done. I never asked anyone to be born, I can surely decide how I want to go.

Dear Dr. Hope, I've been following your videos for quite a while now (especially your Scrubs-Content) and I'm loving them.

My aunt is a cardiac nurse and she pretty much confirms what you and this episode said. It is never easy watching people die no matter how calloused you think you might be against it. Sometimes it's not the doctor's mission to make sure you live as long as possible despite the suffering you go through but to make sure you are made as comfortable as possible until the end. Despite all th death you also have to remember that you also give people hope, a second chance at life, and love. Gotta keep fighting for every victory to make the dark times not seem so dark. Also you have an amazing voice doc.

I remembered your face, but I thought this was the first time I'd watched this video. Your singing at the end was enough to remind me I was wrong. Your videos are always a delight but with THIS episode and THAT ending, it's just perfect. Cheers mate, all the best

I didnt expect that end, so emotional! Tears, stop!

[@pabloherrera3478]

Even watching this reaction I laugh and get teary-eyes, fuck Scrubs is awesome and this is a wonderful channel. Also good musical interpretation

[@RickWeasel]

I remember watching this episode. It tore me up inside. I’m glad you reacted to this episode. Also great cover! 👍

my dad alwasy said he isn´t afraid of dying but of the pain that comes with it, so when the day came they had him anesthetized because they had to cut him open previously. so they called me at work, and asked me if they should wake him back up so we can say our goodbys or if they should let him sleep until he dies, it was one of the hardest decisions i had to make in my life...

Absolute banger episode that I look forward to every time I restart Scrubs. Its so simple in regards to what actually goes on in the episode (three men talking in a room) but the impact the conversation has is amazing. Season 8 is full of stellar episodes. A reaction to "My ABCs" please!

i actually love these review videos so much, the mix of one of my all time favorite TV shows and seeing the real personal side of an actual doctor is awesome

When it is someone’s time to go, like this, just being able to make it as easy and comfortable as possible…

[@TheBaseballfan87]

This was literally my favorite episode of the entire show. I cry every time I watch this episode

[@ashes2steel]

I was not ready for that solo at the end, and now I have to lay down for a few minutes sobbing into my pillow as my body brings the feels.

god I love how scrubs showed me so many amazing songs, I may have watched the show a bit too much, cuz i already am in tears just listening to the first few seconds of it ;-; that scene at the end is beautiful and i never can listen to the song without crying ;-;

[@bubblepop3063]

i sometimes become panicky when it comes to discussions of medicine and biology (especially blood) but i love your videos, somehow it's a good balance between info and just calm conversation and there's always a pause button there if i do need to take a breath :) You definitely deserve all the subscribers you have (and more honestly)

Never heard that Death Cab for Cutie song before, it's really beautiful so thanks for introducing me to it!
