This Week On Scrubs: "My Number One Doctor"

I love the television show Scrubs. JD's complete lack of knowledge when it comes to anything manly - and his therefore complete dependence on Turk - makes me laugh. Like checking to see if men really do compete in everything. Turk's half head nod made me happy, but really: how does JD not know that? I know that, and I'm not a guy!

"He's out of his frickin' mind!" I love Carla... there's just something about her that makes me smile. She has the perfect mix of sarcasm and psychotic-ness that makes me completely happy. She also knows everyone's weaknesses - and she uses them. Amazing.

And Elliot... so pretty, so sweet. She reminds me a lot of my sister in that respect. She also has an absolutely amazing sense of humor. I also feel bad for her, though, because she expects other people to want the same things she does, and they don't always. Like in today's episode, she was trying to get a patient to understand how careful she has to be with her medications.

"Because taking too much of this (insert long name that I don't know), you can recover from, but if you had taken too much of this (insert another long name), you could have died."
"That's good to know," says Shannon the patient, "I'll be sure to do that next time." Ouch.

Classic moment: Just as I was asking aloud, "WHAT is she wearing - what are they wearing?" About Janitor and his girlfriend, Lady (her parents were watching Lady and the Tramp...), Carla asked the same reason. One more thing I love about her. She's always in everyone's business. It's hilarious.

At the end of the episode, Elliot decided not to to tell her patient's nurse about her wanting to commit suicide. What do you think? Do you think she should have?
