    Oh Elliot. Such girl, perfect booty

    To this day Scrubs still is the show with most hot girls I’ve watched.

    Scrubs though. My favourite TV show and my first source of information for sex-related topics during my teenage years as we didn’t really have a pc until later and sex was, and still is, regarded as taboo to my Catholic parents.

    I’m thankful this show exists.

      Elliot was hot!! I had a huge crush on her. I was always like “JD! You dumass!”. I think this is a typical method to get viewers emotionally invested. Like Joey and Dawson in Dawson’s creek. Probably a ton of these examples.

        I worked in a pediatric hospital… attractive ladies were a dime a dozen. All batshit crazy though.

        Yes I remember that. Also it happened more than once that patients seeking treatment stopped by thinking that previously dismissed hospital resumed operations 😂

        Prior to House MD. Scrubs launched 2001 and House in 2004. House MD is arguably the most accurate medical show to exist, mainly because the majority of wacky medical mysteries came from actual doctors. It is still TV of course, but real stories can’t be beat by Hollywood make believe.

          The medical conditions might be more realistic in House, but the process and behavior of people certainly aren’t.

          It’s similar with programming on TV. If you look at Mr. Robot, all the hacking methods and computer jargon are really accurate, down to KDE vs. GNOME rivalry, but the plot is total fantasy and nobody behaves as real programmers do. On the other hand, Silicon Valley is more like scrubs - the software is made up, it’s a comedy, but the story and people are 100% realistic (except better dressed, since it’s still Hollywood).

          Same with Scrubs. What makes Scrubs a lot more accurate is most of the times doctors aren’t dealing with crazy medical mysteries.

          Nah, not really. House has 2 episodes where the writers invented diseases (only 2 on the entire run is very respectable though), but more than that, it’s not realistic to have 4 docs working on one case all week. And the cases are very unrealistic in the sense that a lot are not mysteries. If you’re an MD/DO, you can see some of the diagnoses coming a mile away while House and his team pretend it’s a super rare thing. I particularly remember one of the Lyme disease episodes where I got the diagnosis almost immediately, and I was still on med school.

          On the other hand, Scrubs gets the lifestyle of an intern right. Except there’s a lot less sex in real life lol.
