Real DOCTOR reacts to SCRUBS "My Big Brother"

[@PugAshen]

I highly recommend season 3 episode 14 "My Screw Up". That episode has stayed with me since it aired. Such a strong episode.

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

I'll do it

[@ThreadBomb]

Wouldn't exactly make for a happy video.

[@PugAshen]

That is correct but shows just how much doctors are not always just doctors, there are definitely some medical pointers to discuss but also the mental side of things for doctors.

[@PugAshen]

@@DrHopeSickNotes disclaimer though, be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster. It's a recommendation to watch and react, but if it hits to hard, keep it close to your heart and don't share. It's just an episode that has always stuck with me and shows the diversity this show brings and offers in regards to comedy and drama in combination with medical points.

[@DexLuther]

@@PugAshen A lot of episodes of Scubs tug at the heartstrings like that. It's what made the show great. It's emotional, funny and they were always very on point with their selection and use of music.

[@troperhghar9898]

I understand why doctors shouldn't wear Halloween costumes I work in end of life care and I get told every year that I can't dress up as the grim reaper because it's "in bad taste"

[@PugAshen]

The strangest thing is that a buddy of mine was asked to do just that a couple years back and everyone on the ward (and their families) actually appreciated the light heartlessness of it and had an amazing time for what it could be. But it was done with the outmost respect to everyone there.

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

@@DrHopeSickNotes Wearing super complicated things like that is obvious, but wearing cat ears or something simple like that shouldn't be that big a deal. If it falls off, it doesn't go back on should be a rule though.

[@wfly81]

When I was about 2 or 3, I was in the hospital under an oxygen tent with mono, strep, and pneumonia on Halloween. And of course, it being Halloween, the hospital was over crowded and under staffed. So they had what I guess were 3 interns trying to set an IV in my arm, and doing a pretty awful job. So there I was, basically a toddler, being prodded in the arm with a needle by 3 witches who kept taking turns having a go at me before my mom demanded they find someone who knew what they were doing. Finally a nurse came in and got it first try (yay, nurses). I had nightmares of witches with needles that kept me and my parents up for over a year. Terrible costume choices for what I assume was the pediatric ward.

[@efletch91]

What I really appreciate about your reactions to Scrubs compared to others’ is that I think you understand that the reason the show is so great isn’t that it’s accurately describing every detail of diagnosis and treatment. What Scrubs does so well is to portray the “feelings” of working in a hospital. All of the other creative license is taken with the goal of making the audience understand the ups and downs of working in this setting. Honestly, I think that’s more important than the accuracy of the diagnosis or the physical space of the hospital. I think that sometimes other “doctors react” videos focus excessively on the strict medical accuracy compared to the accuracy of the feelings portrayed. You do a good job of highlighting those.

[@Klepotlol]

Great episode as always. I would highly recommend season 3 episode 12, "My Catalyst". It has a OCD, different medical specialisations, mentorship, a bunch of diseases that would definitely benefit from your clarification and Michael J. Fox!

[@dutw]

Dr Hope please continue with the Scrubs reviews! The show is both funny yet touches on serious matters. And keep up the good work, love this channel!

5:44 "Imagine you're unconscious and you wake up surrounded by people with devil horns." My dad broke his back in October over a decade ago. When he went to the hospital, one of the techs was wearing skull and crossbones scrubs. He panicked to the point that they were close to sedating him, because he took it as a sign that he was going to die. To this day, though, he treats it like she did this on purpose lmao. We just had the conversation the other day, and he goes, "I knew what was going on!" in a suspicious tone, as if it had been done to mess with him. My mom and I were like, "What are you ON about? It was Halloween season, they were Halloween scrubs!"

[@deeanna8448]

Dr Hope: This episode is 20 years old Me: No way! I can't be that old! He's wrong. It's probably just 12 or so years ago (Googles "when did Scrubs air?" 😮😮👵

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

I had a friend in his early 30s who went through a routine tonsillectomy, then afterward never stopped bleeding until he died. Yeah, post-surgical complications are a big deal. Dr. Cox's big lesson here was brilliant, sad, and funny at the same time. He does that so often in the series.

[@hidinganothernobody]

Woo Scrubs. When you revisit Scrubs again, you should consider 2 -14 "My Brother, My Keeper" regarding older doctors.

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

I'll add it to the list

1:00 You absolutely have to use pagers. It's about the wavelength of the signal. Cellphone signals can be blocked by steel or concrete, so if you were in an elevator or a parking garage you could miss the call. Pagers work on radio waves that don't have that problem.

[@davidenglund8168]

Would love to see you do House S06E03 "The Tyrant", would be really interesting to hear your view about the ethical issues that episode deals with. Also James Earl Jones is in it.

[@sofanielas1651]

I recommend you react to My Way Home, season 5 ep. 7. It's also the 100th episode! It's an homage to Wizard of Oz and it is awesome - some good medical stuff thrown in as well, like a heart transplant and Elliot being seen as an endocrinology expert by her interns when she doesn't feel like much of an expert etc. Solid ep.

[@jdzspace33]

A testament to how great of a show that scrubs is, is how he made an entire video about an episode while only briefly showing a single scene from the A story of that episode. Showing why Scrubs B and C storylines are better then many shows A storyline.

[@LupinoArts]

You pushed me into a deep depression by mentioning that Scrubs is 20 years old.... thank you, very much...

[@gconnor18]

So glad to see another scrubs episode! If I were to recommend an episode it would be ‘my cake’ it would be interesting to see how you react to the story in that episode, if you are up for it.

[@ben_imaging]

Thanks for another one of these, Dr Hope! I always enjoy them. It is amazing how much truth and reality there is in Scrubs. Even though it's an American comedy show, it's loaded with serious topics that are applicable in any hospital. That's why it'll always be up there with my favourites.

[@xBloodGarnetx]

Scrubs was always my favourite, not too serious but absolutely serious about the right things.

[@mrjrb561]

I'm a small patient care worker of 20 years exp, and just told 2 new trainees about the scene at the 7:50 mark needs to be learned pretty quick in this environment literally 3 days ago. And as always, awesome video Dr. Hope!

[@Mad_Oph]

It's always interesting to see those overlaps in careers, those special similarities. When I was in the Army, there's a huge embrace of gallows humor because you either have to become comfortable with the fact that death is a part of your life, or you'll lose yourself. Oddly disconcerting and comforting at the same time.

[@treefrog1018]

Yay! This series is back! I am not in Medicine but have watched this show several times. Love hearing actual doctors comment on the show.

[@benjamingardner3314]

I think the Halloween costumes are an overall positive risk, within boundaries. For every patient that gets upset, 10 patients are relieved to feel like they are being treated by humans who have joy and care about others. Patient enrichment has positive benefits, and I think it outweighs the negatives. It also depends on the department as well. This is where we keep hearing about how we have to treat from the biopsychosocial model of medicine, but the most medical professionals do is hand out pamphlets and refer out to psychology and social work.

I work in a rural hospital and thankfully we don't use pagers. There is an on call cellphone, but 9-5 we call our docs at their clinic office (or our "hospitalist" which is assigned to cover orphans and mds that are away that werk) or cellphones, and then weekends abd after hours we call the on call docs cell. But we're also a small rural hospital, with 18 beds on a medical floor with an er, and 6 docs on the team who are supposed to take care of their own admitted patients through the week.

@9:10 you say that, but they left my brothers dead body in a hallway with nothing but a curtain draped around for us to say our final goodbyes to his corpse. I am rewatching scrubs after my brother was let down by the NHS earlier this year, and it's fucking heartbreaking, but, it's one of the best TV series of all time :(

[@djoetma]

I would like to recommend 'Scrubs Season 5 Episode 9, 'My Half-Acre'. One of the subjects of this episode is how to deal with religious considerations. Cox at first refuses to treat a Jehova's Witness, but then forces himself to work around the problem. How do ethics work in this, should/could one force a patient to get a treatment despite their region? And since you talked about professionalism in this video, what about a shared hobbies among co-workers? Is it a good or bad thing when colleagues also do other things together, meaning this can affect work since they want to talk about their shared hobby, but also become this whole separate group within the staff which hurts group cohesion.

[@dazrich20]

The nurses take it the hardest. saw a nurse leaving in tears as I walked down the ward towards my grandma who'd just passed and mum arriving 4 mins before. She had probabilly kept a streight face and broke down as she left the room

[@heathergarnham9555]

We had an old couple on our ward for a few months, both awaiting nursing home placement, they had been married over 60 years. Sh died of CCF, he was holding her hand the whole time. This happened at the start of our shift, all if the nurses kept tearing up all day, we'd just start sniffling and go hide for a few minutes until we'd gotten under control so we could keep working. He was going ok until bedtime, we made him tea and sandwiches, called his family. When his daughters go to the hospital they found us all crying in the family room.

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

To distancing and becoming ...hardened? Worked in a psychiatric clinic where occasionally a patient managed to suicide in their rooms despite all precautions. one day a Co worker commited suicide, we found out after he hadnt shown up for 3 shifts and was found dead by a relative, hanged himself. During the next shift change meeting we did discuss this incedent and well, heres what we actually said to it. First, some were super annoyed that "did he have to kill himself when hes supposed to work? He could have done it next week when he had a week off. Couldnt even call in sick to let us know he aint coming" Then, we discussed why the hell would he hang himself, given as medical professional he had access to drugs that would do it much cleaner, with no pain and a more beautiful corpse, and then talked about how wed suicide. After that, we realised...oh maybe we should call his family and say somethin. And only then did we start question ourselves how we - trained professionals that are supposed to instantly see signs of someone being suicidal, didnt catch his signs at all, in the slightest, despite him having had many reasons to become suicidal (wife left him with children, he was smeared in the newspapers for something that was absoltuely not his fault, had debt from a house he bought that was badly damaged in a storm....) Well and to black humor....yeah....we make fun of the darkest stuff. And i have the darkest humor in the team. And coincidentally i am the one who always brings the corpses into the cellar and prepare them cause i have the least issues dealing with the dead. maybe i should have become a pathologist XD

Scrubs was amazing show and filmed in an actually real closed down hospital. I think the pilot episode was filmed pretty much as the hospital was at the time. When it was picked up they renovated it and made some embellishments like the windows in the rooms for lighting and camera shot reasons. You watch the first episode and everything looks old and the lighting is kinda yellowy. Then on the second episode bam everything is white and new. The way the show ended was really prefect. 8 great seasons and they probably could have gone 20 more. PS: We do not talk about season 9. It never happened. It doesn't exist.

[@SentiNel090]

What season 9?

[@graueszebra3487]

Season 9 is not that bad. It is not scrubs (it even has a different title), but quite funny sometimes. But of course it is way cooler to make the old joke again and again and again...

[@DexLuther]

@@SentiNel090 It doesn't exist. They ended Scrubs and then tried making a new show with the same name and called it season 9. Some of the same cast came back, but it was medical school. Turk for example was suddenly a teacher, and I think Dr. Cox was too or he was the director of the school or something. The whole reason Scrubs ended in the first place was because the actor that played JD did a movie or two and wanted to leave to do more of that stuff, but ended up coming back and guest starring in a bunch of episodes anyway. Don't think he's been in a movie or TV show since then. Season 9 got really low ratings at the time and even now it's got pretty terrible scores wherever you look. Rotten tomatoes for instance has 53% critic rating and 40% audience. Every other season has a perfect score. The new characters were lame and unfunny. You'd even say cringy. Scrubs went from ending on a high note to getting cancelled, which is kinda sad.
