Doctor Reacts To Scrubs QUARANTINE Episode | Medical Drama Review

Four months into quarantine and I’ve been watching a LOT of medical shows. Most of them have actually done an episode surrounding how their hospital handles a viral outbreak. Today I’m diving into Scrubs Season 4 Episode 16, appropriately titled “My Quarantine”, to see how JD and the team handle a rumored outbreak of SARS.

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

I think he “suspected” SARS just to sound important. He did put his best “I’m a doctor, look how awesome I am” face when he said that. That is 100% something JD would do to impress a girl.

[jovan]

"They're no gates slamming down" - I don't think Mike has learned about JD's imagination scenes yet lol

[bluetube]

Dr.Mike: Teases dermatologists.
Dermatologists: Well, at least we can put sunscreen on right. 😏

[Scarleto]

Alternate title, "Doctor takes jokes literally for 10 minutes but is still informative and cute so it's all good"

[azereth]

Legend has it that doctor mike still doesn’t know why it’s called ‘face-cake’

[GoodOldGamer]

Dr. Mike: Knows the difference between various SARS.

Also Dr. Mike: Why is it called a face cake?!

[kaelynsuee]

he’s not adding multiple fashion choices together, it’s just the early 2000’s LOL

[tiii]

"Why did he say SARS?" - Its just because he wanetd to impress his new girlfriend with his medical stuff, by saying it could be something very bad he makes his job seem more dangerous. Also the lockdown with the siren was a fantasy of his (he always 'flashes' out of the fantasies with the white and the woosh)

Fun fact if you didn't know: Zach Braff who plays JD grew up in South Orange, NJ and in high school was a cadet at the South Orange Rescue Squad. My dad trained Zach to be an EMT and was his actual first aid and CPR instructor. There's a Scrubs poster in the South Orange Rescue Squad signed by Zach that says, "Thanks for teaching me all I know about the medical field." I know being an EMT is not the same as being a doctor but I still thought it would be fun to know!

Doctor Mike: "If you don't know what a philly fluff is, you're missing out...and probably healthy."
Me, staring at the chips and cookies I ate, and also not know what a philly fluff is: ...cool!

[lucyday]

imagine: theres an emergency on a plane and they say "is there a doctor on board?" and someone stands up and is like "im a doctor but im a dermatologist" and the flight attendant goes "sit back down youre not a real doctor" and then another passenger goes "i watch Greys Anatomy" and the flight attendant goes "quickly come over this mans really sick" and they dermatologist is just sat there like 😳

The beauty about Scrubs is that when they want to make things funny, they discard realism, but when they want to have more serious content they become more realistic, at least medically. Lol

[beetles]

Dr Mike: *watches an episode about a quarantine to be timely*
Also Dr Mike: *somehow just turned it into another opportunity to teach us about chest compressions*

[armankarimaghaei]

dr mike: goes through 12 years of school to become a doctor

also dr mike: wHy iS iT fAcE cAkE!?!?!?

[Mousy]

"why is he wearing the name badge on his nipple?" i mean. he's not wearing a shirt; where else is he gonna wear it

[emilye]

Dr Mike: *extremely smart doctor*
Also Dr. Mike: “wHy iS iT cAlLeD fAcE cAkE”

[RPGLegendarySoundtracks]

The idea behind JD asking if he's been to Honk Kong after looking at only 3 simple symptoms and concluding that the pacient has SARS, it is exactly JD imitating the "genius doctors" of TV shows trying to impress the girl. The whole part of the alarm and iron gates closing are poetic exaggerations of the protagonist's imagination.

[moritzkopp]

I feel like Dr. Mike doesn’t really get the humor of scrubs. 😅

[matthieud.]

Why is he suspecting SARS? Because he wants to sound dramatic in front of his date, simple :-) (that's the whole point of this episode)

[philb]

Dr. Mike doesn’t realize that Scrubs WILDLY exaggerates.
