I’ve got Hulu and finally after all these years (four?) access to Scrubs. Here we go. #RealDoctorWatchesScrubs
Episode 1:
Lawyer tells residents to never admit a mistake to patients. Bad advice. Evidence is clear that open communication reduces risk of lawsuit.

Medical students don’t actually learn how to be doctors. They rarely get significant experience doing procedures. You can’t just walk in and do things solo on the first day. Tylenol overdose is deadly. It’s important to give an appropriate dose.

Dr. Cox will become a better person, but in this episode he’s terrible. He shouldn’t be allowed to train residents. Learning by doing without having ever seen a procedure is dangerous. Surgical interns rarely run a code on a medicine patient. This hospital needs a JCAHO visit.

Why is Dr. Cox seeing an outpatient pediatric clinic patient? He’s an adult medicine hospitalist. Sadly yes, female doctors are still frequently assumed to be a nurse. I do judge a nurse who hooks up at work with a surgical intern. I also judge the intern. Both are wrong.

On call JD is covering the floor and the ED. This isn’t something that I’ve ever seen. Calling a death isn’t a magical incantation that must be spoken out loud. And where is this phantom attending that ran the code while JD was seeing patients alone all night?

The arc that Kelso will ultimately go through is made all the more enjoyable by how awful he is in the pilot. Why is an adult hospitalist attending managing a trauma patient in the ED? Why is a floor nurse there? Why is there only one resident?

This is a problem with medical drama that is not unique to this show. Blurring of specialties happens in nearly every medical TV show.

E.R., a show I loved, was a particularly egregious offender. ICU patients would stay in the ER seemingly forever. ER docs would do everything. One day theyd be doing EGDs, another interventional radiology.

I remember seeing Dr. Corday doing some surgery one episode and a liver transplant in a different episode later in the season. Because surgeons could cover every specialty.

Truth be told, one of my all time favorite TV shows, “St. Elsewhere,” was a major offender too.
