  • After getting a tweet from Bill Lawrence creator of Scrubs, I thought it time I take another look at the show from a real doctor perspective breaking down the medicine onscreen, it's accuracy and comparing it to my real life experience as a doctor. This time 'My Old Lady' - as many of you requested it; I remember this one from first time round!
    There will be more reviews, including other episodes of Scrubs, House MD. The Good Doctor, Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident and ER!

    I always thought the setup for this episode was beautifully done. "One in three patients will die" and then they immediately introduce three patients to you. You're supposed to spend the episode thinking which will be the 1/3 death, only for them all to die. "sometimes the odds are worse than that."

    • @FulcanMal
      @FulcanMal Před 5 lety +39

      It's a silly thing to be bugged by I know, but the odds didn't change. How it played out in this instance doesn't effect the odds themselves. I know what is meant by the statement. Like I said, silly for this to bug me.

      @maybeyourbaby6486 Před 5 lety +18

      @@FulcanMal I guess you could argue that the 1/3 is for the average patient, but for these particular patients their individual odds of death were above 1/3, due to their conditions. Like if 1/1000000 people get cancer before age 30, but 1/100 firefighters do, so on average anyone you talk to has a 1 in a million but the odds are higher if you're talking to a firefighter. The 1/3 are the general odds averaged out over all patients, while the average of patients with those particular conditions are higher.

      @@FulcanMal It's a clever play on the flawed instinctive human understanding of statistics, though in this case it's arguably a narrative subversion at play too. It is a common trope that if some otherwise mundane seeming fact or object is explicitly called out in the narrative it will be relevant later so we are trained to expect that to be the case which biases the viewer even more towards assuming the three is not an abstract quantifier but refers to the three cases presented in the story.

    "Death is not the worst thing that can happen to someone". Such a true statement. I'm a veterinarian, and people often tell me euthanasia must be the hardest part of my job. In fact, it isn't. It's sad when we have to admit we can't heal, and sad that the owner is grieving, but the actual act of euthanasia is a gift, and I'm glad we have it as an option.

    That's the episode Scrubs changing the direction and showing the audience what a TV show Scrubs could be in the future. People didn't expect to see such emotional and really hurting scenes for a show seems silly. But the Scrubs crew nailed it despite of NBC wanted to change the ending and add some happiness. It was a very brave and risky decision for producers in a very early stages and they didnt know the show will see another season at that time. After all they were right. People loved the way how Scrubs shows the life with all its aspects even if it suddenly starts to hurt and makes you cry while you were laughing loud a moment ago. With coming episodes like this in the future, Scrubs reached levels so many serious dramas cannot dream of. And that is why after all these years people still love this show.

    I really like when you describe a condition you use the words 'a person with' or a 'a person who suffers from'. I think it brings it back to the fact that behind the disease, incident ect there is a whole person with experiences and feelings. Is that something that is taught to Drs or is it just a 'you' thing? Our language is so vitally important, I really believe it can impact so powerfully. Lovely video, I really need to watch Scrubs. It looks a brilliant show!

      Scrubs is a great show. It finds its feet in season 2, sags a little in 5 and 6, but rallies for seasons 7 and 8.
      (We don't talk about season 9, which lost most of the main cast and was produced by other people.)

      As a ICU nurse, i understand what you're saying, but you also have to understand that we need to protect ourselves, and sometimes, it means actively trying to forget that the patient is actually a human being with a story. I provide care to people who are on the verge of dying, most of the time they are sedated and intubated, and i've never even heard their voice, so yes, to my collegues, i'll refer to them as "the pancreatitis patient" or "the attempt suicide patient" to create some distance, because if i think about who they are, their story, their loved ones all day long, i would spend my days crying. But that doesn't mean it has any impact on the level of humanity i bring everytime i step into their room, or every time i speak to their families. So if you ever catch a doctor or a nurse talking in those terms about your loved one hospitalized, i'm sorry but don't get mad at them, they're dealing with the pain that comes with the job the best way they can.
      Also i'm french, sorry if i made any english mistake :)

    I'm a dialysis technician in the US, and it is really tough on people. Fluid, food and medication management. The emotional trauma of constantly living with a terminal illness. Waiting years on a transplant list for a temporary fix. I think one of the worst moments in my time as a tech is when a patient went into cardiac arrest. We did cpr for about 10 minutes before ems arrived. Another 10 minutes just trying to get them stable enough to send in an ambulance. During all that chaos, i took glances at other patients in the room and their looks were heartbreaking. Some were terrified while others were crying. These people see each other about 3 days a week when they get treatment. They're like family to each other. Dialysis is rough, but the people who stick through it are some of the strongest people i know. Much tougher then me. Keep up the quality videos, Scrubs is an all time favorite of mine.

    It's really interesting to me to get this human side to being in medicine from you. When you're a patient you have a very specific relationship and honestly don't always want to see your doctor as a person. But it's such a valuable insight. Thank you : )

    Yeah, my dad is a doctor (retired), and his hand writing is pretty bad, though I can read it. Also, when he was practicing medicine, maybe it was after he stopped practicing, we used to use his extra prescription pads as note pads at our house. lololol

    I work in a pharmacy and I remember when I found out one of our old regular patients had died. His wife came by to tell us in person and I remember trying so hard to keep it together for the rest of the day. You really do get to know people through the rough moments of someone's life.

    The neat thing about this episode to me is how much it sets up their character arcs going forward: elliot eventually outstrips JD in confidence, JD becomes more relaxed, and Turk’s bedside manner outshines his fellow surgeons to the point where it guarantees him a spot on the team and, eventually, as chief surgeon. And it all started here. Really great long-term story arc work.

    The “it’s never lupus” line always made me chuckle a little because lupus-and autoimmunity in general-actually runs in my family. My mother and two of her siblings have lupus. One of her brothers has another autoimmune condition, but I can’t remember which one. Even though I don’t have it myself, lupus is a constant presence in my life.

  • @TheZeusofolympus
    @TheZeusofolympus Před 6 lety +2

    One of the most rewarding things about being able to work in the hospital (i am in nursing) is that even though you see death you get this extraordinary chance to learn from those that you treat, the families become very close with you and that some of these people no matter where they came from and have done with their lives can all have many things that they can teach us. This is probably why i will always try to work within a healthcare setting we have always more to learn from others and have them help us all grow and mature.

    You do have to remember, the first season of Scrubs was way back in 2002 (Gosh, I feel old now saying that). TPA was a lot scarier back then (far fewer studies showing safety and efficacy, even for CVA, much less PE) so Elliot's indecision, given the information that she has, is a lot more understandable looking at it from her standpoint, or more to the point, how her peers from 16 years ago would judge her decisions. (wow I feel even older now)... Still... The. Best. Episode. Of. The. Best. Medical. Show. Ever. This episode, along with the novel "The House of God" are really what I would consider essential watching/reading for potential medical students. Great review!

Watching the snippets of these episodes and being educated about the body at the same time is brilliant. Keep up the great work!

    I love that you covered this episode. It's one of my all time favorites and showed early on that Scrubs wasn't afraid to go into some deep places.
    It's incredible how they could go from juvenile humor to very poignant moments throughout the whole series, dealing with loss, personal struggles, personal loss (like when John Ritter died so they had an episode as a tribute where his character died or when Laverne died and Carla struggles to accept it). Scrubs is such a unique show and it was done with so much care and respect.

    So the first time I watched you it was about a show I didn’t know. Then you did scrubs, a show I love and adore. And now you’re doing it again, but, Iunno. Dads in hospital getting palliative care, and hearing you used to/still work there don’t know which, and seeing how kind respectful and nice you are, yet know your stuff.
    It’s all just kinda hit home. Thank you dr, for doing what you do and making time to put these videos up.

    I don't think that there is any other series of TV shows that cuts so deep in so many directions. I rarely get emotional with TV/films but Scrubs has me going between wailing and laughing my ass off on a regular basis. The writers, actors and director did such an amazing job for most of the show's run. Zach Braff and Donald Faison are currently recording podcasts going through each episode and it is hilarious..

    This one hit really close to home for me. My father died of lymphoma when I was two. I just had hernia repair surgery a few weeks ago, but, thankfully they didn't find cancer during surgery.
    Love your videos. You bring a humanity to the profession that is hard to see in a 20 minute visit with a doctor.

    This was a great video, and a fantastic episode of the show. My mother suffered from SLE and DLE, both forms of Lupus, as well as all the usual Hughes Syndrome and Raynaud's. When we were in hospital with her last year I actually ended up helping translate for a young Italian lad's family who were in the same ITU as us after he had a car accident and was sedated to help him. Was nice to be useful in there, even got asked if I was medical since I understood the various heart medicines and doses my mum was having. If anyone ever uses NAVA ventilation, I'll be proud to know she was involved in the study. Thanks for the wonderful content on this channel!

    When you mentioned having worked in paliative care I had just a big rush of emotions running through me. My father died from cancer just before christmas, and the paliative team at the hospital he was at, as well as when he decided to be home in his last days, were instrumental in making sure that he was as comfortable as possible in the end, even as the cancer ate away at the bones in his back, chest, and shoulders. We were all so incredibly grateful for the kind, direct, and inclusive care we all were given, from his diagnosis in April, to his death in December, and beyond. We are still recieving care, as we as relatives are given access to grief counseling and other mental health resources (although, not so much these days, as everything is pretty much shut down).
    I just wanted to say thank you to you as a representative of the medical professionals of the world who do this incredible and vital work. Especially now.

    These videos are so good. I was thinking about becoming a doctor for quite a while when I was younger, but unfortunately my graduation in school wasn't near to be good enough to study medicine here in Germany. But watching a real doctor talking about his everyday life at work and comparing it to one of my favorite series ever is great! Keep going :)

    You know this one that got me back in the day on the simplest thing
    JD's was sad but it was well handled and he had a "good" first death.
    Elliot had a bad hand from the start and gained needed confidence to survive in the workplace.
    The Fact that Turk took away something so simple for some reason made me tear up back when i first saw it. (maybe its his other episodes in conjunction.)

    The Connect-Four scene is playing off of an old commercial from the 80's, where the brother didn't realize his sister had beaten him. She says "Here, diagonally." And he says "Pretty sneaky, sis."
