“Paging Dr. Martyr.”— J.D.

Contents

[edit] Synopsis

During rounds, J.D. is doing exceptionally well. However, there is one other intern who is equally as good at being a doctor as him - Nick Murdoch. Nick has a patient, Peter who keeps getting worse. Nurse Roberts keeps him updated on Peter's status. Eventually Nick surpasses J.D. as the leader of the interns, after he is asked to write a paper for Dr. Cox, and after he takes a bullet for the other interns.

In surgery, Dr. Wen notices a smell, and Turk gets afraid that he accidentally nipped a colon of a patient. It turns out that The Todd farted, but Turk gets frightened that he could make a mistake in surgery and kill someone. After Elliot asks Carla if Turk was alright, Carla gets upset that Turk doesn't talk to her about his problems. Dr. Cox eventually gives both Turk and Carla advice on how the stress of how the hospital can make people not want to talk about their problems.

Later, J.D. and Nick talk and J.D. realizes that Nick isn't so bad after all. As soon as J.D. gets back running an errand for Nick, he can't be found. Nick can't handle Peter's deteriorating condition, and quits Sacred Heart.

[edit] Quotes

“You know, it's--it's okay to be impressed by me -- most girls are.”— J.D.


“He was born John Dorian, but he was simply known as 'J.D.' -- Doctor. Friend. Lover.”— Nick Murdoch


“Oh, eventually I remembered I was a doctor; 'course, he'd been dead for twenty minutes -- very embarrassing. Food was good, though.”— Nick


“You know, I kinda had a date last night.”— Elliot
“Really?”— J.D.
“Yeah. Guy on the bus fell asleep on me, and drooled on my shoulder.”
“You slut.”
“Yeah.”
“How about Nick?”
“Oh... I'd let him drool on me. Oh, that's gross, why did I say that? I--I shouldn't talk to people.”


“Sir, I farted. That smell was from the fart that I made.”— Todd Quinlan


“You're right, he definitely has a cute little butt.”— Carla
“Oh, it's almost like it's been sculpted.”— Elliot
“Who cares? Everybody's got a cute butt; I have a cute butt.”— J.D.
“You should bring it in someday.”


“You see, Dr. Dorian, your problem is...you're a pansy. If you were in my way, I'd throw you off this ledge right now. We're out here alone.... No one would ever know.”— Dr. Kelso


“I've got so much potassium, its coming out of my assium!”— Turk


“ [to self] Nobody hurts Carla and gets way with it.”— Dr. Cox
“Who's Carla?”— Doug
“I was talkin' to myself; don't eavesdrop.”
“ [to self] This kid doesn't leave, I'm gonna kill him.”

Doug grabs his tray and starts to stand.

“Now, if you leave, I'll know you were eavesdropping -- I'll just go ahead and kill you, anyway.”

Doug freezes.

“Stay. Good girl.”


“Wow. You finally dug down deep in your heart and came up with a muffin.”— Carla
“Its store bought, sister. There's blueberries in there the size of your fist.”— Dr. Cox

[edit] Title explanation

J.D. has become the best of the interns until Nick Murdoch comes around to take his position as leader. J.D. realizes Nick isn't so bad after all, and that the huge ego he'd grown was to blame for not liking him.
