FINALLY REACTING TO SCRUBS: MY MUSICAL 

To do as many songs that are in a musical in a 22 minute TV context and each song is pretty exceptional. It’s a masterpiece.

The patient in the episode was an originator and performer from Avenue Q on Broadway.

Awww, what about Guy Love?

Had a (tiny) brain stroke 3 months ago at the age of 28, and this episode, especially What's going to happen, hits so differently... I listened to it like 3 times a day while in the hospital, and it still makes me cry every time

What I liked about this is that it also advanced the plot like the Buffy Musical. Some other musical episodes just did a musical and missed the opportunity to sing things that can't be said as efficiently.

All these years later and I still have the Poo Song and Guy love memorized.

Growing old is one of those things you just take for granted and it's like jumping into a cold pool to confront the fact that it sometimes isn't the path we're on. My son passed away recently at the age of 32. I always imagined a life growing old along with him and coming to terms with actuality is hard. Thanks for posting another Scrubs video reaction. I have to say I probably look forward to them as much as just about anything on RU-vid. Scrubs has always been a favorite of mine (and my son, too) and watching these is a lot like getting to share the good parts with a friend.

Great reaction as always. You should do My Full Moon next from Scrubs, in the conversation between Elliot and Turk it raises some important questions for doctors themselves

Finally! Thought you were never going to react to scrubs again. Can't wait to watch this tonight 😁🤩🥰

You're gonna end up with the entire episode on your playlist. There isn't a bad sond among them and it's the only musical episode of any sitcom i actually like.

As someone who was diagnosed with petit mal epilepsy at the age of 13 i have had plenty of eegs. That was a long time ago but just hearing you talk about them brought back memories.

I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your channel. I love how you talk about difficult things with such compassion. You really helped me talk with my family about my aging grandmother and how we should handle her final moments. Your videos are a comfort and safe space for me. Plus I love my Aussie creators lol 😊

It's very true that you grow more aware of the fragility of life as you grow older. I think that applies weather you're a medical professional or not, but some things can absolutely hurry up that process, like seeing young patients go through things they in all fairness shouldn't, going through a medical trauma yourself, watching somebody you know go though life with an incurable disease or loosing someone you love. Life is fragile, so try to savor every ounce of happiness it brings you.

I have never seen Radiology done right in a medical tv-show 😂😂

i'm normally claustrophobic, but i find MRIs very soothing. even the noise is basically white noise. loud for sure. then you have PET scans where they tell you it will feel like you are peeing yourself and not to move, but then it really does and it is hilarious so they have to start over. this is one of those rare episodes where scrubs doesn't go lightly but really hits you at the end, even when singing.

I like the channel. Scrubs is my relax show from hard days and to see your reactions - adds a new dimension. I suffer from pretty severe Trigeminal Neuralgia pain - and distractions are the key to looking beyond the pain and finding meaning in even the worst cards being dealt.

That was a risky drink during, "Everything Comes Down to Poo."

Love your scrubs reactions, thank you for doing another.

All I can say is, if my life turned into a musical every time I've had a seizure, it would make having epilepsy totally worth it 😀

Hey bud, this is such a great reaction to a great episode and props for the Grease call-out. Most of the cast and crew had some musical theatre experience at one point or another in their careers and so this was very much a "fun episode" that they wanted to do, and eventually the network agreed. You can tell they were really having a ton of fun making this.

If you are into psychology, check out shows like "the Good Place"

What it’s like to get a brain MRI; It’s like being a worm inside a tree and a giant woodpecker is trying to get to you. It’s so loud.

Bless you Doc, it's genuinely nice to see you still take so much of this to heart I can only imagine as a Doctor everyone's got their own means for making it through each day and this show always did that for me. I'd legitimately love to see how you'd react those episodes that can really hit home. If I were to recommend any among any they would be... My Brother, My Keeper My Butterfly My Last Words My Fifteen Seconds For what it's worth while I think there are a lot of episodes that anyone can relate to, I think these ones in particular are the ones that anyone working in the Medical or Surgical field can really feel.

When you mentioned how you give patients a Midazolam (a benzodiazepine I presume?) before an MRI I felt that because I've needed Ativan for a couple of MRIs. Not due to the claustrophobia, mind you, but due to the fact that I'm hypersensitive to the loud noises and squirmed like a creepy crawly the first time I had an MRI, I was so uncomfortable. The funny thing is benzos make you forget pretty much everything and turn you into a complete doped-out idiot for an hour or two. Plus if you take them for anxiety at night/insomnia (which I do), there's an almost guarantee you will feel tired and groggy in the morning.

This made my day. I missed your Scrubs reactions, and what an episode to come to. Thanks for doing this. Keep being awesome!

I think the Episodes "My No Good Reason" (Season 6 episode 14) and it's following episode "My long goodbye" (S6 EP15) are two of the most powerful episodes of the entire show.

My mom had a hemorrhagic stroke at the beginning of September. Luckily she's doing better and recovering but I definitely felt when you said sometimes it's out of your control. Weak blood vessel walls isn't something you can just work on strengthening, at least as far as I know. Anyway thanks for the reaction 👍🏼 I always enjoy these, take care brotha

I've been in an MRI once. I know the doctors have had to deal with so many patients who freak out and i just kept asking them to stop trying to calm me. It didn't bother me at all.

I’m so glad you’re doing these again!

Thank you so much for your videos!! I’m currently recovering from a personal low point that made me realize how precious life really is. Thank you so much for all that you and everyone in your profession does for the rest of us. I recently had 3 different visits to the ER until we found out what was going on.. and I cannot express how much it helped to just know that people cared for me and that they were going to do their best to help me, even though we had never met. You have made it literally your life’s work to fix people and get us back on our feet. Thank you so much for your positive attitude and sharing the joy (and struggles) with us. Thank you for helping in my healing process. ❤

Got really excited for this video when I saw the notification after work, knew I had to watch it immediately. Such a fun episode. Love watching you, Dr Syl! All the best.

Doctor, I discovered this channel when looking for reactions to scrubs a few days ago and was legit so sad thinking u dropped them! And all of a sudden you're back! Really glad

I think my favorite thing about this episode and why it's my favorite episode of the show is how each song is in a different musical style and i love that

It's interesting, the faecal calprotectin test is one that we seem to order often in a GP surgery 🤔 I wonder why we do, but you don't so much in a hospital.

aww you skipped some songs! I would have loved to see the full reaction even if its not to the medical related parts :) love your channel, can't wait to see more!

It's so interesting rewatching this episode after I have become a bit interested in musicals (which I wasn't the first couple of times), cause now I can more or less idenify which musicals the songs are inspired by.

I got a bit emotional at the end too. Scrubs definitely does that to me too.

6:24 - *“I think, the only thing I have to feed back to them is, Don't spin someone who's having a partial seizure.”* Ah, but they likely _weren't_ spinning her around, any more than they were really singing and dancing - That may just have been her mind's interpretation of feeling a dizzy spell, as she was being carted to the entrance. 😉 18:17 - _♬Diverticulitis and a Barium enema.♬_ Just in case, you missed it during editing: there's one more pairing of… "best friends" that you didn't comment on. 😁

Roughly 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with left temporal lobe epilepsy. In fact, a few minutes before I watched this video, I had a focal seizure. Things get WEIRD. An overwhelming sense of deja vu, to the point of nearly panicking. Thoughts and other stimuli (such as the noises/voices around me) will loop in my mind like a skipping record. The right side of my body tingles like mad and, though I remain aware, I can hardly move or react without someone having to basically get right up in my face to get my attention. Its very strange, and it's something that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.

It was great to see you grinning practically the whole episode, and bobbing your head to the music. Excellent video.

Good to have you back! Great reaction as always. Would love to see one to Season 5 Episode 4 "My Jiggly Ball" :)

1. no one wears makeup in a hospital? is that an Australia thing? xD 2. the patient is the original Kate Monster from Avenue Q, I love her voice so much and when she says "oh!" when Cox sits down to give the bad news is so Kate, it's hard to keep them separated.

I've had brain mri and eegs (I have non-epileptic seizures and being investigated for epilepsy too), and the mri was actually alright. The head brace has a little mirror in it so I could see out of it and they had earbuds playing the radio; I was told because I'm very petite it wouldn't be so stuffy. The main worry was thinking I had metal in my body even though I know I do, and checking I had removed my daith piercings 10 times beforehand

I got stuck in an mri once. It was an mri of my upper arm and I was loaded in in a very uncomfortable position…head first, face down and with my arm outstretched above my head. Needless to say, within a couple of minutes I was in a lot of pain and so I called out to the tech or doctor to get me out and no one responded. I don’t know how long I spent shouting at them and then trying to move about so much that it might set off an alarm or produce something notable at the other end - but it must’ve been at least 5 minutes. Eventually someone came in and got me out but I was so bloody angry. It actually felt like I was being tortured.

You should do “I Need a Break” (season 4 episode 12) of Crazy Ex Girlfriend

I never liked musicals, but because you reacted I enjoyed. You're such a nice and caring soul. Getting emotional is contagious. My eyes always water up when you do. Never apologize for showing us your natural feelings. We love you. Now that I'm in my feels let me watch something else and head to bed, lol. Here in the US and work at 9. Take care of yourself. Sorry for rambling.

Thank you for another great reaction.

I love this video One of my favorite Scrubs episodes

Don't know if you see this, came to it a bit late. I think this is the first video of yours I've watched; I just re-watched this episode and was looking for a doctor reacts for it. I've had a really great psychiatrist for the last year or so that's really helped me get to a good place with my mental health, though the jury's still out whether the latest meds will continue working (one of those things where it seems to be one thing but when treatment isn't working right minor or more hidden symptoms that point to something else might be the key). Anyway, I've really come to appreciate how much difference a good mental health team can make after struggling for a long time for financial reasons, mediocre therapist reasons, that thing where bad mental health makes it harder to seek help, and, in the beginning, not knowing what was wrong just that something was. My point is, from your demeanor here and the things you pick out to focus on and care about I think you would make a great psychiatrist. Or really a doctor in any specialty you end up in (? not sure if a junior Dr already has a specialty) or a GP if that's where you're going. I'll be subscribing and sticking around for a bit. Good luck with everything.

My 14yr daughter has epilepsy, she stops breathing and turns blue when she does them and i just panic histerically, even though i try really hard not too. She never remembers a thing but i feel traumatised and on edge all the time. Fingers crossed theres a medication out there that will work for her! But never knew these things could happen with seizures.

Whenever my sister is in a hospital (which happens with some frequency), even if she's in agony and hurling her guts out, she always does her hair and puts on makeup.

As someone who has epilepsy you explained it really well would definitely show people for an explanation

I think I've done both CR and MRI scans. I only remember that for one of them, I was warned about the noise, but I didn't mind the noise of the machine, what bothered me was that whenever they spoke to me (through the headphones) there was a sharp, loud "static" (probably when they "opened the channel"), and it made me jump every time (!) :p

The fact that these songs were bangers and i remember all of them

Wait we no longer doing emojis at the end?

Dang I really wish you didn’t skip over Guy Love

one of the best eps of scrubs... although im a bit disappointed the masterpiece "Guy Love" isn't included here. 🤣

They were not driving the ambulance the driver is sitting in the driver seat JD was in the passenger seat and Elliot in the middle seat. They were only given a ride back to the hospital with the ambulance.

I never got anything for my MRI when I was a teenager (wish I did), worst 45 minutes of my life, I thought I was going to die by the end of it as I started having a panic attack with about 15 to go. By the time they pulled me out of it the whole sheet I was laying on was soaked in sweat.

A friend of mine died of a sudden aneurysm at 28. Her husband found her on the floor of their house and nothing could be done. "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what any day may bring forth."

As deanvance4167 mentioned, since Scrubs is an American show, JD was actually getting out of the passenger's side of the ambulance.

The songs in this episode were written by the same people who wrote the songs for Frozen

Lol they're in the US. They're not driving the ambulance.

I had an MRI when I was 10ish as a study participant at NIH years ago. It was a study for bipolar kids and the nurse was amazing and calm which made it bearable. Later on they couldn’t do another because I shot up to 6’5” and my shoulders were too wide. I was okay with it 😂.

This is just what I needed to start my morning! I missed these! You might ne interested to know that each song was actually inspired after certain musicals, like the song that sounds very Les Mis. The work that went into this episode was insane. I believe it won an Emmy?

You have the MRI sound just right :D

I had an MRI a couple of months ago and they gave me headphones... I almost had struggles to not fall asleep ^^

I Had to give so many stool Samples when I was in the Army. Especially after a deployment.

Augmentin makes me horribly terribly sick.

I've had 3 general seizures in 1 day all lasting over 3 minutes. We finally found meds that work. But I still don't know when they are going to happen.

I have adult onset epilepsy. I started getting seizures when I was 20/21 (32 now). From what I understand (just based off what my friends/family have told me.) Its extremely scary the first time you see it happen. But once you know whats coming it becomes much easier to stay calm. But yea, even my like calmest, stone face buddy called my other friend SCREAMING when he first saw it happen to me haha. EEG is the worst -_- ripping chunks of my hair out trying to get the glue off.

whereee have uu beeen

You skipped "guy love"? That's the best part of the entire episode.

You can't just as call 999. Because everyone might think someone else is. You need to say hay you in blue call 999.

My dad had a stroke from a brain aneurysm and lost his speech and the use of his right side. He was a drummer. The only phase he was ever able to say was 'I use to' and finished with dadadada. He's been gone now for years now and not to long ago I realized dadadada is how drummers talk when describing what their playing. Which now I kick myself not knowing that as a drummer myself. Just curious if you think this is possibility or am I'm I just reaching?? Also just a funny for you... when I was 21 I was diagnosed with AML and luckily my little sister was a perfect match. I love saying I'm 21 years older and 1 year younger then my son. I just turn 25 (BMT years) a few months ago.

As someone who has had a brain mri. I nearly fell asleep XD however I started to get pain in my neck and accidently moved during my spinal imaging

If you like this episode, you should look for Avenue Q. The group that made that musical had a massive role in this episode.

So right when she had her surgery you talked about young folks not getting to be old. It rang a bit hard on me, i lost most cousin last year. Same age as ke she was 31 and your wording messed me up because its a horribly painful truth. But other than that. I love your reactions to scrubs, its my favorite tv show. So thanks for the fantastic content.

How do you skip Guy Love? Lol

Umm… Why is there an Engagement Ring video in the Scrubs Reactions playlist? 😂

Curious to see if the poo song will get more relevant with time, the more we learn about how closely related our digestion system seems to be with a lot of neurological processes

Some of the episode was missing!

The poo song has aged really well considering all the research into gut bacteria on health.

I love how you react to the whole episode. I get a little annoying when people leave out like 75% of the context.

how would a coil through the groin help an aneurism in the brain? They don't go all the way from down there to brain, do they? If I had something go all the way through me yeah, no wonder there's complications! Can't they just do blood thinners or something and I dono, drain out the area?

I don't think you're right about 30 minutes for a brain MRI (at least for me). Mine is 45 minutes and I get them every year. I had to get them every 3 months at first at first. It's rough, but I focus on the sounds that the MRI is making. One sounds like a helicopter flying over your head, and another sounds like soldiers marching over a bridge.

Finally

What's the brand of water bottle he has at 10:23

"Musicals always have a happy ending" JD hasn't watched many of them apparently...

Can you do "My Last Chance"?

Fatherly love…my father is a malignant narcissist who abused me for half my life. My father figure was my grandfather, and he died on my birthday. I genuinely detest Father’s Day.

What i been liking about this man watching the scrubs shows is that he keeps changing his facial hair and normal hair and its fun to watch what look he's gonna rock but I enjoy seeing him watch these as I did when they came out! Scrubs is better then greys anatomy #fightme

I think you kinda missed a point, when they were telling the patient that she was going to be okay. Have you ever heard someone say “think happy thoughts before going to bed” I think that a person’s emotional state going into such a surgery can be the difference between life and death. The body wants to survive if the consciousness knows there is a good chance of survival

22:56 My grandma had to stay in the hospital a week and she put on make up several times a day every day😂

if possible can you react to my own american girl? either way really enjoying your scrub reactions, scrubs can be rather sad and depressing at times

I'd love to see a reaction to season 6 episode 14 "My No Good Reason"

I wonder if Dr. Syl who by every indication is an excellent and compassionate doctor, see himself as neurotypycal?

I know everyone already knows this, but never make promises in healthcare, unless it's 'to do everything I can'. Even something as inconciquential as a sprained ankle can quickly turn out to be an extreme heart condition and even if you mean the best, and believe it at the time, it's a very hard thing to live with after

my granddad died of pancreatic cancer so the moment you said something was found in the pancreas i knew EXACTLY how bad you meant when you said it's not good to have problems with your pancreas :/

I need propofol for MRI's. Funny story: When I had rhabdo they needed an MRI image and the only MRI machine they could get me in was london zoo...so that was fun.
