Scrubs

It's funny how we find inspiration. Some people find it by looking to inspiring figures; presidents, heros, parents, and... well... whatever historical figure you can find in the encyclopedia. Others look to imaginary characters like Dumbeldore and Snow White. Doctors tend to look to something more profound, more deeply moving, people like those on the smash hit TV show Scrubs.

We* fall into the following categories or rather, category. Every last med student is a JTurkCoxelTonIot D Reed, MD. The name is eastern European. We are all very strange like JD... drifting off into our.........

Turkelton tends to bring out the cool surgeon in us. We want to be calm and cool and collected, yet still geeky under our scrubs, and who know all "the Bunch" episodes. How did that become cool? Plus he's been with Carla and you've got to love that. Chris Turk is the man.

Cox is the doctor we all want to be, but we never ever ever ever want to be. He seems to know all of the board questions, can PIMP anybody on anything, but can never seem to end a goshdarn, run-on, overuse-of-the-commas-and-hyphens, uselessly insulting for the recipient, who is clearly not paying attention because he's so bored with this 10,000'th rant, and how many times can he call me a girl's name, oh God please love me Dr. Cox. Uh... what?

Eliot. I don't have, like, anything to say about Eliot because I'm, well, nothing like her. 'Cept she's, like, totally best friends with Carla and Carla is smokin'. Oh yeah, and Eliot knows everything and is completely insecure but we already have somebody like that (see above).

I didn't mention Dr. Jan Itor, The Todd, or many of the other characters because, well I'm tired of writing now. In the end, we all find our inspiration in those most importortant people, television characters. Really, they all represent the good and the bad in us medical students. And good and bad and the ins and outs and in and out and in and out. High five for the stretch on the sex joke.

And I love Carla.
