I watched Scrubs for the first time in college, when I knew nothing about hospital culture or the weight of working in medicine. I liked it, I laughed, I cried, but I didn’t fully get it.

I’m rewatching it on the other side of the covid pandemic and three and half years of nursing later. Now it’s like therapy. It may lean more towards satire and be pretty silly at times, but it captures hospital dynamics and the emotionality and trauma of working in healthcare in a way that makes me feel seen.

#Im crying more this time around #i jsut watched the episode where JD Turk and Elliot all lose a patient after emotionally bonding with them #and it reminding me of the first patient I lost who I really had a connection with #i had worked so hard to recover him from septicemia #and he was getting better and crashed out of nowhere #I’d never cried like that before #my charge nurse and another nurse literally envolver me while I sobbed #anyways that’s a lot but this episode made me feel understood #tw death #tw illness #cw death #cw illness #tw medical #cw medical #scrubs
