'My Screw Up' Doctor Reacts to SCRUBS. (Heart Breaking Twist) 

Have you seen Brenden Fraiser, would you still?

find out the origins of the name Espinosa, it always good for a laugh.

I know this video's, like, over a year old, but _please_ tell me you have learned who Bob Saget was, in the time since this video released.

He has better dramatic chops than people give him credit for. He's great in Garden State.

that line has stuck with me forever, sometimes we try to hide from the things in life we don't like and people really can convince themselves that their reality isn't true. ~

Every time I hear that line it makes my blood run cold.

I've seen this episode a hundred times, and it made me cry just now. Holy moly...

To me it's also how the line illustrates that JD knows that Cox is fantasizing, something JD is intimately familiar with, and he often using it as a coping mechanism as well. He doesn't ask him what the hell is he talking about, but instead pulls him out of the fantasy gently because he's aware of what is going on, and that Cox's mind is elsewhere.

So many bits like that You still got that camera? Till the day I die Brandon even rubs his collar to indicate the camera has gone. There were a couple of others but the tears stop me remembering. Such a beautiful episode

Where you think we are?

@@oz_jones The way JD said that was just heartbreaking

@@quarantinethis8981 I never really realized that bit about the camera before.

I am so dense apparently, that a number of years after the episode *the creator of the show* had to point out the thing about the camera to me. Maybe it was on Twitter... Honestly I forget. It was really hard to locate the fans of scrubs because I wasn't on Reddit. I found the fans of everything else. ❤️ What other show should you watch? I'm going to assume that they hit you with every good episode of Scrubs. And I'm also going to mention that somehow I missed my fallen idol and I forgot my lunch. These episodes aired in the spring and my brain just starts to mush in the spring. So there I was watching my deja vu and wondering what Dr Cox was coming back from. And I got one of them but I didn't get the other and then later on I looked at my DVR again and realized I missed one. I had to call my brother and tell him oops! The other day we were talking about whether anybody from Mad TV became famous and I said What about that girl in my lunch? I think I saw her somewhere else Oh right I saw her on scrubs. Sorry for the lack of punctuation Other series. Season 1 of Code Black is good. And then there is a great episode that is not in season 1, where Dr Guthrie, I think that's his name, has surgery. I wish I could remember the episode title. It might be Latin or at least pointed. I just need to go look it up. I always want people to watch more than just the pilot of something but you kind of have to watch the pilot before you watch the good episodes. By the way Scrubs had one of the best finales I have ever watched. And I mean season 8 not 9. As we all know that season 9 was a different show.

I wonder why reading this hurt

I feel like I would do the same, I wouldn't want people that haven't seen me in a long time, if ever, to mourn me before I even pass.

This can actually be rather accurate. Those in the Medical field know, fully well, that those on the brink of death suddenly have the most amount of energy they're ever had in order to finish their purpose, before passing away. Ben mustered what he had left of all his energy, his life, and thrust it forward to cover for his eventual passing. And since we don't really have too much prior history on Ben, we have no idea if the coloring - he has - is his natural color. It's especially prevalent in Long Term Care Clients. One day, they're tired all the time, the next they're incredibly energetic and they're seeing their people, their loved ones, and then the day after that, they're gone. Some slowly pass away while others will just go in the blink of an eye.

​@@Seluecus1 not true because doctors don't believe in religion they believed them bulshit science so what purpose would that be?

I actually think he had a heart attack, or possibly a seizure, not necessarily the leukemia.

Right up to the reveal too. "You can't stop me from getting drunk."

Although unrelated to the situation, you also see bargaining portrayed. Turk asks Carla to take his name in exchange to remove the mole, then offers money to the doctor for saying the mole is inoperable. None of his offers are actually serious, and both are made to avoid a situation he doesn't want to happen.

@@bouboulroz I think this could be relatable to the overall theme of the episode. Even if it's not in direction of Ben and Cox.

Also when Cox takes all of JD's patients he is treating the old guy that was implied to have died

@@random3x70 o wow. I thought he was standing there while the patient had died but the machine is still beeping

You also notice no one interacts with him except Cox after that scene!

@btamamura yes exactly, he gets way too mad for it being about a random patient

The point is not just that shocking twist. The point is to highlight the stages of grief.

One thing that I wanted to know is how he went to healthy looking "may have leuchemia" to cardiac arrest in the time dr cox made an errand?

The expression on JD's face, too. He's gone pale and can't meet Dr Cox's eye.

I dunno. “Yeah, you’re right” from My Lunch takes it for me

@@JayHar215 to me it's the line just before that: "He wasn't about to die, was he, Newbie? Could have waited another month for a kidney."

@@JayHar215 Bruh, dont do me like that :D Thats THE most devastating scene + "How To Save A Life" playing in the background...TEARS q.q

@@BrianLufia I cant listen to that song anymore without seeing that scene replay in my head

It is one of the best ‘wham lines’ out there

And he just had a kid, too.

Omg! I had no idea 😢

Hands down my favorite character on the show.

The perfect episode of foreshadowing. They sell it so good. No one interacts with Ben anymore but for some reason you don't realize that.

@@TheLibermania Yeah exactly, I heard in an interview them say this was their take on the Sixth Sense type of story

Also the old patient that dies is actually Ben.

He also wears the same clothes in the two or so days since his first appearance.

First time I watched it I noticed the missing camera and my thought was it was a continuity error, that was until the ending

👆 this

Jds old patient who dies is actually Ben. If you look closely after Ben dies he doesn’t carry the camera any more. Earlier he said, ill carry it till the day i die.

@@rav3style Right. Rather the point. It was all about Perry traversing the model of grief with his perception of Ben by his side; thus illustrating that denial and acceptance don't follow a prescribed path.

@@rav3style If you look close, the next time we see JD with a patient, he's over the bed of the old guy who was 'supposed' to have died.

​@MsAliciaRe furthermore they don't go through the stages linearly for instance moving from anger to bargaining doesn't mean you won't be stopping back into anger before you hit acceptance eventually.

You'll also notice that after the code, and when Dr Cox comes back, Ben doesn't have his camera anymore and his first comment is, "the kid told you he had too many patients"

He wore his camera till he died like he said.

Did you know that the creator/writer of Scrubs was also the creator of Ted Lasso. Bill Lawrence. His stuff is awesome

It's a good contender, but has a lot of competition. Especially the rabies transplant patients one

@@PenneySounds my lunch

Don’t forget the episode no good reason with Laverne

100% the best episode in the series

@@joshuadempsey5281 My Old Lady hurt in the first season-and when Ben finds out he has leukaemia

I think you can just go ahead and assume that everyone can see him until after JD tells Dr. Cox he died, and then only Dr. Cox can see him.

@@erinngeyougladididntsaybanana “Confused” = past tense “Then it hit me” = now aware

I like it when Brendan Fraser says that too.

Kelso is probably the MOST caring because he has to be the bad guy. He has to decide between bad and worse and he has had to watch people die, even just see those lost causes. If he didn't act the way he did, I'd imagine he'd never leave his house because 'godDAMNIT! I've lost my idealism long ago, you've beaten happiness out of my LIFE! ARE YOU NOT FUCKING SATISFIED!?' would imediately ring out.

He also does the voice for an older Ted Mosby on How I Met Your Mother

There are outtakes from Full House where they're all swearing at each other, it's so strange.

He's also a great "PG" curse that a specific breed of white midwestern males like to use. XD

Unfortunately, Bob Saget died this month.

Wow dude u don’t know who is Brandon Frasier U make me feel old 😂😂

Whoops!

Nah chicken cutlet is when you're having sex on the beach, the guys dick slips into the sand but he just puts it back in LOL

Have you ever watched Greys Anatomy? 🤣🤣🤣

Especially any episode Doug shows up

WOAHH nice - i didn't realise that!

@@DrSyl All of the "His/Her/Their" episodes are fantastic, but of those, my personal favs are the Dr. Cox one and the Dr. Kelso one, b/c you get to hear their inner monologues and get a sense of how much they DO care about everyone around them, even if they don't always show it, so good! lol

Great... Now I want kfc

Everyone dying because of the contaminated organ transplants is an absolutely wrenching episode.

@@RhysChellew yeah thats the one where Cox loses everyone and they play The Fray

Matt that was such a wonderful comment to read and awesome feedback. I will do more! And when my channel makes enough I’m going to get an animator to do little educational snippets!

@@DrSyl that would be awesome!! I really do look forward to seeing this channel grow!! I’m excited to see what it will become 💕

Ben was not Cox's brother, he was his brother in law and best friend.

Think about how leukaemia is a cancer of the blood. What does the heart do? It pumps blood. His bro-in-law had relapsed but chose to forego chemo. Therefore, his heart was being inundated with abnormal blood cells.

The other subtle hint is when Jd mentions he doesn’t know about the older guys irregular heartbeat. And Cox says ‘trust me he’s not going to die in the next 30 minutes’. Super subtle.

There was an old patient. He was present when Ben was still alive, but he was there as a red herring.

@@MsAliciaRL right and cox says ‘trust me he’s not going to die in the next 30 minutes’. It’s a 30 min TV show. It is subtle.

One of the greatest red herrings ever written tbh. And perfectly executed as well. This episode had so many points of quality in the writing and acting, it hits me every time. But I would add that the older patient of JD's did have heart problems, he was there to make you think it was the old man JD was worrying about who died (and never reappeared in the episode in contrast to Ben continuing to appear). It all just made you think throughout the episode they were struggling with the death of the older man instead of Ben. Lots of nuanced details like that thoughout the episode.

exactly!!!

Yeah they put the old guy in there just to throw you off and set up the "sixth sense" type sub plot

Yup. After the coding scene, jd is tending to the old guy when Cox comes in and blames him for the death

*He's the only one with hair

Thanks Tyson!

Wouldn't it be Head-Fish?
