    This episode of Scrubs is a heavy one. I've watched it as a med student but it's been a long time. I'm watching the famous episode, "My Lunch" where we can look at aspects of depression, doctor-patient relationships and managing the stress of when things go wrong as a doctor.

    This was based on a real case that happened in 2004 unfortunately (though as you pointed out the patients were in different hospitals, not all one place).

    For me, this links closely to what you said in your recent Q&A -

    I’ve seen this episode 20 times, probably more, yet I cry at the end every single time and yes, I teared up watching this review as well. Doctor Cox screaming “come on!!” is haunting.

    This episode always breaks my heart. And "How to Save a Life" drives it home.

    Powerful reaction to a powerful episode. It still gets to me whenever I see it. As a veterinarian I've experienced instances analogous to this that make this episode hit harder and in different ways than when I watched it originally. I struggle to imagine the extra weight of the patient being a person in those instances. Nothing but respect and admiration for every healthcare worker, including yourself Eliiot. Wonderful reaction.

    I’m gonna add this to my “watch later”. When this episode aired it absolutely broke me. There was a great behind the scenes video on this episode that came with the DVD- not sure if it’s online anywhere but oh man. I’m already crying.

    A sitcom has no business being this well written and put together...but man am I glad Scrubs is as good as it is...

    I'm glad to have watched this. Take care of yourself. I can't imagine how difficult it is to endure this kind of stress and loss on a regular basis.

    I love scrubs and this has always been one of the episodes that stuck with me. Seeing Dr. Cox break down was always rough. But then watching it hit Dr. Elliott knowing there is no fiction involved made it hit that much harder. Thank you for watching this one!! Love your videos!!

    John C. McGinley's acting + Bill Lawrence's understanding of Tragicomedy = Television Perfection. I feel so lucky to have grown up watching this show. It has honestly shaped my sense of comedy and drama.

    I think it’s important that we remember, in healthcare, we all have a my lunch memory. Some of us may carry several. I can remember mine. I can clearly picture the blood pattern on my scrubs, the trauma bag looked like it had been hit by a tornado, pediatric airway supplies strewn about, child shoes half under the bed, I can even smell that metallic irony smell. But most of all I remember my charge nurse, the strongest man I have ever had the pleasure to work with, broken. We all where. We took turns going to the parking lot to scream and cry. Everyone’s my lunch story seems to come at the beginning of a shift. You can break down in the supply closet, but you have to go right back to getting yelled at because “my call light has been on for five mins”. All of us went to the bottom of the hill after work and just drank that pain away. But just like jd said in the show, you could tell we’d all pull out of it. Sometimes the only ones who can shine a light into the deepest darkest hole you’ve fallen into is someone who fell in with you.

    As a nurse, I completely understand your reaction, I had a bit of a similar one myself. I usually groan at most fictional medical shows because of all the ridiculously wrong things they put in there, but I think Scrubs holds up really well. Aside from the obvious comedy stuff, I think they did a great job of showing what it's really like to work in healthcare. I've seen this episode a million times and it still always hits me hard because it takes me back to the moments I've had where I just want to scream and throw things too because we've tried so damn hard to help someone but they still slip away. "Relentless" was the perfect word for it. Some days are relentlessly relentless.

    Scrubs was such a good show. Funny and emotional. Pretty good medical accuracy overall to be expected from a TV fictional show from what I've seen as well.

    I’m not sure if you will because it’s an anime, but I want to see your analysis of Kotaro Lives Alone. It deals with people living through and after child abuse/neglect, and how the main character Kotaro behaves and views himself due to his upbringing is heartbreaking but interesting.

    I don't think I had a clear idea how emotionally difficult being a physician or nurse must be until I saw scenes like this. I'd been on the patient end many times, but you only see a fraction of what goes on from that position. Much respect to the show, and to you. Take care of yourself.

    Right there with you Elliott, the scene with the arrest at the end made me relive a horrendous situation in A&E as a resus nurse. I won't go in to all the details here, but 4 years later and it still eats at me that we didn't do enough, that I should have spoken up, that it was all wrong. That night I went home, drank a bottle of wine, didn't sleep much, and just cried for the poor man we'd lost. Realistically, there was nothing more we could have done but it really broke a piece of me. I LOVED acute medicine, but I found a happy place in the community which I adore and doesn't leave me feeling that way any more.

    A very emotional episode. I remember seeing it for the first time and being blown away as well.

    Just started the video and I feel conflicted about finishing it. You’re videos are always fantastic, but this episode is what I used to watch to force myself to cry back when I was so emotionally closed off I’d need that release every few months. Love just knowing that you reacted to it though!

    This past summer I was taken to the ER for a massive pulmonary embolism. It was a full moon, so of course it had been a rough night for everyone working at that hospital. I barely made it; they said had I arrived even 5 minutes later I would have been dead. But one thing that really stuck out to me was the relief from everyone when I started getting better. I had a couple people tell me that this was the reason they went into medicine, that feeling they get when they saved someone. I can't imagine how hard it must be to try to so hard, to have so many people working together to save someone and to still lose them, time after time. I'm forever grateful to the people that saved my life that night, and I'm also glad that I got to remind them about why they went into that field in the first place.

    Thanks for being human and daring to show vulnerability. Triggers can be confronting and needing some time is normal, as you know better than any of us. Take care ❤️
