They say laughter is the best medicine. Actually no one says that – mainly because it isn’t true. You show up at some common or garden car crash and begin prancing around doing your hilarious Graham Norton impression and you’re liable to have a bloody limb hurled at you.
So laughter isn’t the best medicine – penicillin is. Quickly followed by Athlete’s Foot cream. But the closest we can scientifically get to combining laughter and medicine is the strange world of Dr. John Dorian – JD to you – as he circumnavigates the fanciful, pranciful world of Scrubs.
JD has found himself tackling the sick and needy in Sacred Heart Hospital, amongst a group of equally baffled and baffling medical types. These include his old college buddy Chris Turk, the gorgeous but strange Elliot Reid and the caustic chief of medicine Dr Bill Kelso.
Through the eyes and brain of JD we follow the strange goings on at the hospital – patients who won’t just lie there nicely and be quietly ill, doctors who equally love and hate each other and support staff that lack a distinct amount of support. Magical healing breasts, nail gun injuries, crows, cabbage, bad tennis, comedy amputation, butterflies on cleavage, pink dogs, vasovagal syncope and Billy Dee Williams. You'll find it all on Scrubs.
Series seven of Scrubs sees J.D. looking inward to try and find out what he needs to do to become more independent. Kim’s birth to Sam causes Dr. Cox, Jordan, Turk, and Carla to experiences new pains and joys of parenting. And the mysterious nameless Janitor starts a relationship with a lovely Lady.
