“Hiya! My name is Bob Kelso and I like whores.”— Dr. Kelso

[edit] Synopsis

Turk ignores Dr. Kelso when he tells the staff to lie to their patients in order to avoid lawsuits. Turk then accidentally tells his patient, Private Dancer, that he was just an average student at school, meaning that his patient asks for a different surgeon to operate on him. His replacement turns out to be a veteran surgeon from Croatia, Miloš' Radovicnouizicioiuizcinicizich'l], who, despite being highly skilled, has to redo his internship at Sacred Heart. Meanwhile, J.D. is coping with a problem which means that he faints everytime he goes for a poo - causing Turk and Elliot taking turns to look after him. Turk realizes that Dr. Kelso was right about lying, but still doesn't want to do it - but Dr. Cox tells him to tell the truth, but without giving false hope - which he does, resulting in his patient restoring his faith in Turk. J.D., meanwhile, is tied to the ceiling on demand of Janitor by Ted and Todd, where he looks down on people whining to their friends about the problems they have, which are the exact same problems J.D. has had over the years (getting Dr. Cox's attention and approval, falling in love with a female best friend, and finding the perfect hairstyle) - and J.D. realizes how fed up Elliot and Turk must get when they listen to him whining, and that they only put up with it because they are friends.

[edit] Plot Points

  • Elliot and Turk have to look after J.D. when he gets more problems.
  • Turk's patient loses faith in him after he admits the truth.
  • Carla tries out her new "I have a baby" excuse.
  • Janitor goes on vacation, but that doesn't stop him tormenting J.D.

[edit] Recurring Themes

[edit] Fantasies

  • On confessing to a DUI, JD dressed as Frankenstein's monster, is attacked by an angry mob in the hospital foyer wielding sticks and flaming torches.

[edit] Flashback

  • J.D. and Buzz get into an argument while being questioned by a police officer over a crank call (later revealed to have been made by the Janitor)
  • When J.D. spends the night in jail after getting a DUI, he attempts to poop in the holding cell's toilet, only to pass out. The gang members in the cell with him see this as a sign of being "hardcore" and invite J.D. to join their gang. J.D. later helps "jump in" new members of the gang.

[edit] Janitor story

Janitor appears to be on vacation in the Caribbean. The "Custodians Cruise" is actually a front for an elaborate hoax that results in J.D. being arrested for DUI and crank calling claiming that a wolf is in the area. He then orders for J.D. to be stuck to the ceiling. The plan is backfires when the Janitor's trained wolf attacks him instead

[edit] J.D.'s Girls Name

  • J.D. doesn't have any girls name in this episode, but Dr. Cox does give him a physical and "finds it unusual" that J.D. has a penis.

[edit] Episode gags

  • Whenever J.D. is seen unconscious, having passed out when trying to poop, it is shown that he has hung his pants up on the wall.

[edit] Quotes

“He'll pass out when he poops [laughing].”— Dr. Cox


“I'll kill you Bitches!”— J.D.'s impression of a patient on helium


“Girlfriend's gonna get paid!”— Ted

“You kiddin' me? My girlfriend wasn't the only one with 34 C's in high school, 'know what I'm sayin'?”— Turk


“What the hell is thetoddtime.com?”— Turk
“Log on and thank me later. Cyber five! (High fives Turk) Send!”— Todd


“Damn, dude, you got it pretty rough.”— Turk
“Ya hear that, everybody? I do have it rough. And that comes from a man who knows a teensy bit about adversity. And why is that, Turk?”— J.D.
“Because I'm black.”
“No, because you have diabetes. What's hard about being black?”


“That doesn't look right.”— Dr. Cox
“What? What is it?”— J.D.
“You have a penis. At least, that's what I think it is.”
“It's a penis.”

[edit] Trivia

  • According to Makeup Department Head Phyllis Williams in the DVD commentary for the episode, the DOC tattoo on The Todd is a stamp which is then filled in.
  • According to Writer/Producer Angela Nissel in the DVD commentary for the episode, a number of scenes had to be rewritten around Judy Reyes. For example, Carla was meant to be in the bedpan race. She also appears in the episode using a cane. In the DVD commentary for "My Road to Nowhere" it is stated Judy Reyes broke her hip.
  • In the episode, Todd wears a t-shirt with the words: TheToddTime.com. This website used to contain a video of Todd in a banana hammock showing his muscles outside the hospital, but is no longer working.
  • According to Writer/Producer Angela Nissel in the DVD commentary for the episode, the character of Carl, one of the leaders of the angry mob who attack Frankenstein, is played by "Our Prop Man" Patrick.
  • Carla can be seen using a cane in several scenes because Judy Reyes was still recovering from a broken hip when this episode was filmed. In the previous episode, Carla hurt her leg in the RV crash, allowing her to work with a cane.
  • When Dr. Kelso is clearing Turks name of the OP schedule board, the schedule lists Cox and Dorian as surgeons for the two procedures prior to Private Dancer's, although both are not in sugery but in internal medicine.
  • Private Dancer assumes that surgeons are geniuses, although in the Scrubs universe they are stereotyped by everyone as being "dumb jocks."
