'My Deja Vu, My Deja Vu' Dr Syl REACTS (Hilarious!) 

For the non-Americans in the audience: The scene with JD and his kid and the coffee machine is a parody of an infamous anti-drug PSA from the 1980s, right down to JD's moustache

I never understand how John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox) hasn't won some mayor acting awards like Emmys or Golden Globes, for this role.

*Nectarine Cocktail Recipe:* Puree nectarine and simple syrup in blender. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with a spatula to get all the juice out of the pulp. You should have about 2 ounces. Reserve puree juice and throw out the remaining pulp. You can skip the straining if you don’t mind the pulp in your cocktail. Add puree to cocktail shaker with ice. Add gin or vodka, St. Germain, lime juice, and club soda. Shake well and strain into martini glass. Garnish with sprig of thyme.🦁

A neat thing that fits into the episode's theme of repeating incidents is the decision that Cox had to make: whether or not to put his patient on Blood Thinners. Because way back in the first season, one of Eliot's early character moments was her own indecision when it came to patient care, specifically whether or not to put her Lupus patient on Blood Thinners. She ultimately lost her patient (and so do Turk and JD), but a point is made that she learned to be more decisive in picking treatment plans from that case.

The Deja Vu episode works best if you remember the previous episodes. Basically if you’re binge-watching the series.

Watching Syl completely not understand American currency is entertaining. Also this episode is much more enjoyable if you've seen most of the previous episodes, since a lot of the small jokes (like JD's bicycle and the coin riddle, Kelso's butt tattoo story, the 'analgesic' joke) are all from previous episodes. Actually I think every time JD mentions deja vu it's directly before or after something we've seen before.

Here's a factoid about the show -- it was filmed at a real hospital. The producers found a vacant hospital for sale and used it for 100% of the interior scenes. The offices for production teams and all the various apartments for the characters, etc, were filmed in this one building. It originally did not have an ICU, so they did redesign that for their needs, but they were very happy to have all their pre & post production staff in one building, a working cafeteria and parking lot, and did not have to build authentic hospital scenery from scratch.

As to flip phones doing emails, you betcha! Although they were strictly limited to text and no attachments. Nickels are 5 cents, dimes 10, quarters 25. And you seem to have missed the joke at 9:06. JD says "they come three to a can" but that applies to tennis balls, not basketballs. And the March of Dimes is a charitable foundation that funds research to prevent birth defects. Thus they publish a lot of info for mothers to know what not to ingest. 🦁

A nickel is 5 cents actually. Seeing you figure it out is funny.

I realized only now that the decision that paralyzed Dr. Cox in this episode is the same decision that paralyzed Elliot back in S1 (the use of Trombolitics)

I love that the patient Dr Cox was having a problem with had the same problem as Elliot's, involved Elliott, and was played by the same actress that died taking thrombolytics.

You totally missed "They come 3 to a can" referring to tennis balls as JD is clueless when it comes to sports. Great video

The Deja Vu thing was because he pulled the same riddle in one of the earlier seasons on those two characters to get them to leave him alone, at the end, they smashed up his bike (pre-scooter). So, when they did it again, after getting mad over the same riddle, it reminded him what happened to his original bike.

I remember crying in my doctor's office because I was drinking "so much" coffee. I told her that I know I'm not supposed to drink coffee while pregnant but it's the only thing that keeps my morning sickness down. And she said, "This is about coffee? I have patients that tell me that it's their right to do crack while pregnant, and you need my permission to drink coffee? Drink all the coffee you want." P.s. my babies are kids now and the coffee didn't do them any harm.

I know you watch these out of order so you may not have picked up on the fact that a lot of the dialogue in this episode is either straight out of previous episodes or slightly tweaked versions of them. So if you're watching future past episodes and feel like you've already seen parts of them, this is very likely the reason why

At the end when you said you thought JD had a scooter - you’re right, he did. But if you remember back, he used to have a bike. He had just bought this one. JD was also thinking that the riddle scenario with the janitor seemed like he’d been there before. At the end, he realized that this was the second time they’d destroyed his bike over the exact same riddle. The janitor even says he feels like this is familiar. It is. It’s happened before.

So here's what bugs me about Elliot saying Dr Cox was nothing but an unsupportive bastard to her: not only is that not true, in the last episode of season 2 Dr Cox stands up to Dr Kelso on Elliot's behalf and knocks him out. Sure Dr Cox does seem to play favorites with JD, but between the ribbing whenever it counted he has supported her in his own way, from telling her she made the right call in My Old Lady to warning her not to get on Kelso's bad side in My Best Friend's Mistake.

I really love that you actually watch the full episodes while reacting... Most medical show reactions skip so many important parts...

I love this series so much, watching a real doctor react to my favorite doctor themed show. Can't wait to watch more!

Happy New Year🦁! I really love this series you're doing, reacting to one of my favourite shows of all time :) I'd love for you to watch S2E15 if you get around to it. It dives deeper into Dr. Cox's psyche, making it one of my favourite episodes!

Its an interesting one to chose, its a great episode, but a lot of the jokes will be missed, especially those that are repeaters (Deja Vu) have you not seen the previous episodes. That being said, enjoying the jokes as they are for the first time is still great. Love you reactions and content. Keep up the great work. Cheers. Lion emoji here.

Aw Syl, I feel like you gotta do more reading on Musk from someone who doesn't have an interest in hyping for him. I mean, technically he is an engineer, but really his success is largely an artifact of his familial wealth combined with the opportunities afforded by said wealth. Also, Musk's companies are world famous for being terrible places to work, particularly the lowest wage workers in SpaceX and Tesla (long hours, unsafe working conditions, arguably illegal union busting tactics). Love your vids mate. Recommend further reading, I feel like maybe the info you have is 🦁

🦁, Happy new year! What a great way to start the year with a scrubs reaction. Keep up the great work. I hope you have a great year.

I had a kidney stone blocking my ureter, and can confirm it was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. More painful at a constant level than a broken bone. It felt like someone was rubbing a rusty cheese grater inside my body.

That advice about caffeine seems like it could apply to everyone, not just pregnant women. Basically seems like the study is just saying don't abuse caffeine if 2 cups a day is fine.

🦁Dr. Cox is my favorite character from this show. The depth of his personality, his growth, and how he handles the many tough situations he faces always made me look up to him.

I don't have a lion emoji, but i think elon musk is probably a psychopath. He isn't that popular in the states. I can never think of episode titles, but know that prettymuch every episode of scrubs is fantastic, so you can't fail with it.

One joke everybody always glazes over that makes me laugh SOOOO HARDDD is J.D. saying "Ahhhhh relax! They come three to a can" about the basketball.

A nickel is a 5 cent piece (with a 100 cents equal to a dollar): The US Coin denominations are: Penny (1) Nickel (5) Dime (10) Quarter (25) Half Dollar (50) (not common) Silver Dollar (100) (not common) The riddle is "two coins add up to 30 cents and one of them is not a nickel"

Don't forget the lovecraftian nightmare that is a baby's first poo

🦁 At the time this show was made, there were a ton of pregnancy myths floating around that have been around for who knows how long. And pregnancy myths can be super hard to dispel because there's so much caution and relatively little study available--this is apparent when you look at the drugs approved for use with pregnant women. Thank you for another great video Dr Syl! I'm a student from the US enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine program at UQ, and I've been in Sydney the last 2 weeks because of Queensland's entry rules. I absolutely love Sydney, I'd love to stay if I could but got to head off to Brisbane soon. It has been really awesome to watch your videos, and thank you again so much for all the hard work you've put in!

The thrombotic story line is a flashback to a season 1 episode where Elliott was struggling with the same thing.

Thankyou for a great reaction ✨🦁✨

Just a little side thing about Deja Vus. I feel like i have a Deja Vu everytime i'm close to an epileptic seizure. I have no idea if that's something official, but i have it.

In some countries, hospitals give enemas at a certain point during labour, it's not so much for not pooping during labour, it's to give the mother about a week of not needing to poop afterwards so that she can heal. I had an episiotomy and I was soooo grateful to not need to poop for days after. 🦁

Thanks for doing another scrubs reaction, it made me so happy when I saw that you'd uploaded this. Couldn't wait till I got to watch it 😀

Now I know why I find you so magnetically attractive. I cant stop watching you and your reactions. Answer. Its your mannerisms. Your mannerisms speak volumes about what you think, how you feel and your reaction toward whatever your watching yet your reactions are also very subtle like you can see when your thinking and you can mask your reaction or you can express your reaction. Then it clicked when you sang the theme song "Im no superman" and there it was right there in front o me. You have the personality of Clark Kent mild mannered every-man....and then superman emerges in times of crisis. What makes you magnetically attractive? Answer: its reading your mannerisms. Thats what makes your reaction videos so magnetic. The head movements, the eyebrow movements, etc. I watch some people do these reaction videos and their reactions are pretty straight forward and you can tell that sometimes they are even forcing their emotions and their expressions/mannerisms to add drama and interest but in reality their reactions are pretty shallow, superficial, one dimensional. Im not belittling them...thats just how some people digest the world. You, however, I can read in your face and your mannerisms that your thinking thru what your watching from multiple angles...your interpreting the emotions, your thinking through the medical problem, your observing the social dynamic, your trying to understand american humor and our american words/references that might not translate in Australia....but there is more going on watching you than others who do reaction videos. If you want my advise...after a few more years of medicine...offer your medical knowledge to local TV because you would play really well as one of those people who give routine medical advise or explanations to the general public....and same with kids...you have a personality that would be very receptive to kids and parents.

🦁 Another fun reaction. Thanks and you have a happy new year Dr.

There was a very small amount of singing in this one with welcome back coxer, you need to react to “my musical” if u haven’t seen in already. But in saying this I think it would be awesome if you do the whole serious. Such iconic moments throughout this series.

You are the human equivalent of a golden retriever... You are so nice and enthusiastic about the things. I would love to be your friend.

6:27 the medicine of House MD might feel like a contrivance to you, but there’s an excellent episode where his team is forced to consider the opportunity costs of running tests w/ a limited mass of biopsy sample; narratively great contrived drama, but still the virtue of refining diagnostics and what tools to use when

19:35 I was in the room with my cousin when she had her first kid. I did *not* want to be in there, but I kind of got stuck 😂 She wanted it filmed, and like... ALL of it filmed, and I got stuck with the camera. Her epidural was obviously working well, because mid-push, she looked at me and said, "Doesn't this make you want to have one?" I told her she wasn't seeing the horror show I was seeing, but afterward, I did tell her it's the coolest thing I've ever seen, and I don't ever want to see it again 😂 Her son's 14 now, and I still don't have kids 🙅🏼‍♀️

the thing is when Elliot says Cox has always been an unsupportive bastard it ignores things like when Cox jeopardized his career by punching out Kelso when he was tearing into Elliot after witch Cox told her she was doing a good job.

Yes, flip phones could send emails. They could even get really rudimentary web pages.

20 years as a bartender, third generation, a nectarini doesn't exist, but with a trip to a supermarket and/or liquor store I could certainly invent it.

In late 19. century there were 20 cent coins (also called double dimes), which are still legal tender. Add another dime and you have 30 cents, no second nickel is even needed.

Great stuff as always. 🦁

Dr Cox is my favourite character. And the Janitor 🤭

My only question from the previous scrubs reactions is what kind of mental health support do doctors get? I get emotional watching the show, I can't imagine what it would be like when cox loses 3 patients or someone going out during a routine surgery. I would assume there's a therapy period or at least a psychologist interview. What is the real world for this?

A flip phone can do emails, but it's a real pain. Although expecting mothers can have caffeine, you know first-time mothers can be. So I'm thinking Carla decided not to have any caffeine at all for the health of the baby, and therefore...no caffeine for Turk. I get what you mean about childbirth. There's a Cronenberg-esque aspect to it...like body horror. It's a Saw movie IRL.

Isn't that old lady the same spanish lady who couldn't understand english in an earlier episode I think?🦁

I Don't know about regular childbirth as my son was delivered via cesarian, but there is something unsettling about going to hold the baby and looking over and seeing your spouse's guts pulled back and out lol

"I thought he had a scooter." It burned up at the start of the show when he did the ring of fire.

Happy new year! Great reaction with a lot of interesting info as usual! This episode is packed full of references to all previous episodes. Huge fan service but the story is a bit sparse as a stand-alone.

19:19 a friend of mine from university did a postgrad course to train as a midwife; to use their words, "I suture vaginas for a living".

As a mathematician, I have never heard of angry calculus.

I'd really love for you to react to Season 5 Episode 4, "My Jiggly Ball". It's got some good comedy and it really shines a light on a different main character you haven't seen much depth from yet!

I watched these videos when they came out but now that I am rewatching them I realized I found out I had a kidney stone a couple months after this. Unfortunately the stone was too big to pass so for a couple months I had to deal with the pain of having the stone blocking the ureter. Not to mention I had issues during the first medical procedure so I had to have a stent placed and had to wait another month to finally remove the stone. But I can attest to the "never being able to get comfortable" part. I actually had to sleep in the spare bedroom because the tossing and turning would keep my wife up, plus I found sleeping upright was the most comfortable. The one thing I eventually found out that helped was taking a bath. I guess the hot water helped relax my muscles and in turn eased up the pressure on the ureter. But man, I wish they would have given me some of that indomethacin medication because yeah, having a kidney stone was probably the most painful thing I have ever had to deal with.

"2 coins add up to 30 cents, and one of them is not a nickel. What are the 2 coins?" US coinage is as follows: Penny- 1 cent Nickel- 5 cents Dime- 10 cents Quarter- 25 cents. The answer is a quarter and a nickel. Yes, one of the coins is not a nickel, but the other one is. :) Enjoyed the reaction.

Spoiler alert: Actually Reid is wrong here. In the first season , there were many occassions where Dr cox supported her. The perfect game episode where he asked her not to cheapen what should be an endless pursuit if perfection, life advise on why she shouldnt try to impress him and instead help the patients etc. And most of all, he punched Dr. Kelso , who was harrassing her by acknowledging that she was doing fine. And there are many instances of life lessons he gave her through out until this episode. She is simply forgetting all that because she hates him.

I am a junior medical officer from Rwanda, working in maternity at the moment, we are used to perform many c/s on a daily basis...have u ever performed one yet? Nice video🙄

22:05 wait, is janitor implying that JD is his long-lost son or something here? That oddly would make sense and would also be hilarious

Hmmm I had a stone blocking my ureter but I missed out on the butt medicine… shucks lol

"In Australia we don't have nickels." Indeed. But you do have one and two dollar coins that, as a yank, my simian brain keeps thinking of as spare change. Now, I have about 200 dollars of coins that I can't exchange until I go back to Australia. Whatever, I'll use it all as tip money when I get back. The lions would appreciate that. 🦁

American change for Australians abroad, a quarter is 25 cents, a dime is 10 cents and a nickel is 5 cents and a penny is 1 cent. Back in the day we had half dollars which were 50 cents but they were big and were discontinued in 1972 then we have full dollar coins which still exist today but you can find them in banks if you ask or laundry mats from the machine that exchanges bills for coins for the machine

Happy new year 🎉 ✨ Doctor Syl

I think I remember the riddle. (Before I see the end of the episode). One isn’t a nickel, the other one is. Means you can use a nickel to get the correct change.

that tiny brunette is Kathy, I think. She had a freakout after 48 hours of work.

Ingredients: Nectarines: 3 Chilled prosecco: 70ml ... Directions: 1. Peel nectarines, cut them up and, using a fine mesh sieve, push through all the liquid. Do this for all nectarines until you end up with a bowl of finely sieved nectarine puree. 2. Using a spoon, spoon a big dollop into the bottom of your glass so it should be 1/3 nectarine puree and 2/3 prosecco. 3. Carefully top with prosecco making sure it doesn’t over fizz. 4. Sieving the nectarines through a fine mesh is the most important part, in order to get the freshest puree which makes the Nectarini so delicious.

U.S. coins: 1 cent = penny 5 cents = nickel 10 cents = dime 25 cents = quarter 50 cents = half dollar 1 dollar = silver dollar The $.50 and $1 coins are fairly rare and generally not available at most registers.

Thanks for reacting to the episode I recommended

🦁 Closest experience I've had to anything in this episode was a kidney stone. Just got some "oral"-gesic tablets for it. 😎

A NICKEL is 5 PENNIES. THERE ARE 20 NICKELS IN A DOLLAR. THERE ARE 100 PENNIES IN A DOLLAR. What can you get for a dollar in the US? 4 bananas. I know because I just bought 4 bananas.

I'm just going to say "lion emoji" because the emojis table doesn't always show up on my laptop. The joy of old devices and ignoring the "install updates now" window over and over.

I wonder if in the opening JDs was the only one able to put the xray correctly into the showing light

that cox joke took you a while haha

Flip phones could technically do email. The interface was just horrible for sending any emails. Wasn't horrible if you were just reading them though.

I just realised that "one of them isn't a nickel" doesn't fool me because it's only an idiom for native English speakers. I'm not a native speaker so I just take it literally: _one_ of them isn't a nickel.

Answer to the riddle: "one of them isn't a nickel" is key. One of the coins isn't a nickel, but the other one is. So it's 1 quarter and 1 nickel

Happy new year. I love your reactions to my favorite show and evven the best episodes ! 🦁

17:09 when I was in the marines I got a stone so bad that when I tried to pee I passed out and fell backwards into the mirror in my barracks room bathroom they gave me a shot of Opana. Worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life and I’ve been shot.

Clearly a year late seeing this, but a laboratory use for Indomethacin is as a differentiation factor to drive Mesenchymal Stem Cells into adipocytes rather than osteoblasts. Just interesting that prolonged use of Indomethacin for pain relief could contribute to increased marrow or possibly even subcutaneous (MSCs in non marrow depots) adipogenesis/fat gain.

A quarter (25c) and a nickel (5c). One of them is not a nickel, but the other one is!

A lot of the scenes in this episode were repeat scenes of things that had happened before. A lot wasn't, but about half the episode including the riddle and the outcome of his bike being destroyed were, it's why he keeps saying everything is deja vu.

It’s not exactly a bastion of realism, but Childrens’ Hospital is a pretty funny parody of medical shows.

18:30 i thought it's pretty common for pregnants to not drink coffee, because the coffein can make the baby hyperactive. but that's just the random knowledge and it was quiet logic for me so i never doubt that. but ofc im not familiar with medicine in any way so it might still be wrong. :D

id love to see you react to 6.14 (my no good reason) and 6.15 (my goodbye), fair warning tho they're both sad episodes

I remember flip phones were able to send emails, but it was a pain. Getting a blackberry back in the day was a godsend.

Some later model flip phones could actually send emails. I never once did but I, clear as day, recall my pink flip phone Samsung had an "E-mails" menu.

Nectar is basically thick juice so there's lots of recipes

The riddle says one of the two coins isn't a nickle. And it isn't. . .THE OTHER ONE IS.

They didn't damage a scooter or a bike, last time he told them that riddle they flipped his car and the Janitors friend surfed on top of it lol :P

🦁 thx and a happy new year to you

🦁 ah being there in the room with the mom when your baby is born 🦁 Doc: "DONT let her hold your hand, shell break it!" Me "Pff doc im twice her weight, i know martial arts im trained, even in pain she cant grab hard enough to break my hand" ....well she couldnt break it but when she tried to BITE it...i let go ^^

JD calls his scooter "Sasha" so when he said at the beginning of the episode that "Sasha was in the shop" and therefore he rode to the hospital on his bike it meant his scooter was currently out of commission. So you are correct, he had a scooter at that point in the series but unless you've seen the episodes recently or just watched them a lot you might miss that detail ;)

Nectarini: 1 part of vodka 1 part of peach schnapps 1 part of orange juice Served in a martini glass

The US has 4 major coins (there are others but not often used). 1) The penny, 1 cent, from the old English penig meaning coin and a term you probably know. 2) The nickel, 5 cents, and comes from the name of the metal it was made of, cupronickel (25% nickel and 75% copper). 3) The dime, 10 cents, from the old French disme which means "10th part" and 4) the quarter, 25 cents, with an obvious reasoning since quarter is still a term we use for 1/4 and 25 cents is 1/4 of a dollar. We also still predominantly use paper for all whole dollars and above. There have been many attempts to have a dollar coin catch on but they never have.

A penny is 1 cent A nickle is 5 cents A dime is 10 cents A quarter is 25 cents. 4 quarters make up one dollar.

I guess I can kinda see how cream cheese would be "cow fudge" but that sounds weird
