+'''nigger'''
-'''Dr. Christopher Duncan Turk''', known to friends as '''Turk''', is the Chief of Surgery at [[New Sacred Heart Hospital]] and is currently teaching courses at [[Winston University]]. He has been [[J.D.]]'s best friend since college, and the two started as interns at [[Sacred Heart Hospital|Sacred Heart]] on the same day. On that day, he met his eventual wife [[Carla Espinosa]], with whom he has [[Isabella Turk|Izzy]] and a second daughter. He is good friends with colleagues [[Elliot Reid]] and [[Perry Cox|Dr. Cox]], with whom he is still competitive. [[Janitor]] used to harass him occasionally, and [[Robert Kelso|Dr. Kelso]]'s rules used to bother him, but because he is so easy going, things rarely get to him.
-Turk is portrayed by [[Donald Faison]] who is tied with [[John C. McGinley]] for appearing in the most episodes of ''[[Scrubs]]'' at 178. He appeared in both the pilot and the series finale. It is assumed he is still working at New Sacred Heart and Winston U.

After recognizing the common signs, Turk learns that he has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. {{crossref|My Cake}} He has also had one testicle removed due to Izzy having accidentally kicked him in the crotch, resulting in testicular torsion. {{crossref|My Manhood}} He is very competitive in his career and in activities such as basketball. Turk strives to be the best in all that he does at work, at being a friend, and at being a family member to his wife, daughter or immediate family. His immediate family includes his mother [[Margaret Turk]], brother [[Kevin Turk]], Jabbari Turk, cousins Nfume Turk, George Turk and Shedaisy Turk. Turk has lived with J.D. and [[Rowdy]], but currently lives with Carla in his and J.D.'s [[The apartment|old apartment]]. He and Carla are proud parents of a growing family which includes [[Isabella Turk|Isabella]].

They have even vocally pronounced their love inside [[Sacred Heart Hospital|Sacred Heart]]. {{crossref|Guy Love|My Musical}} J.D. and Turk met on their first day of college, when they were paired to be roommates. They have been best friends through college and medical school, and even ended up at Sacred Heart together. They both share many similar interests, including music styles, dancing, [[Rowdy]], robots, and sports. They rarely get on each other's nerves, but they can get so busy that they forget to schedule time for each other. When they do get to hang out, they normally play some sort of silly game or do something goofy. They have affectionate nicknames for each other, and are often referred to as a "couple." There have been certain points where Turk is uncomfortable by the status of their relationship. {{crossref|My Journey}} {{crossref|My Comedy Show}}

Turk gets upset at times that Carla is a mother first and a wife second, but in the end the two always find time for each other. {{my|8x15}}

Even though she finds Turk as childish as J.D., Elliot considers him a good [[:Category:surgeons|surgeon]] and friend and she trusts him.
-===Dr. Cox===
-[[File:1x14TurkCoxPeeBuddies.jpg|right|thumb|Dr. Cox intimidating Turk. {{my|1x14}}]]
-'''[[Perry Cox|Dr. Perry Cox]]''' and Turk are usually tense around each other, most likely due to the fact that Dr. Cox went out on a horrible date with Carla (before Turk was an intern) but still had feelings for her. However, Cox still cares for Carla, and because of that they are forced to try to get along. Even though they can't stand each other, they often play games and compete with each other. {{crossref|His Story III}} {{crossref|My Number One Doctor}}. The two have also been able to connect with each other by both of them being fathers. There have been times when Turk has tried to earn Dr. Cox's approval and respect, although not fanatically like J.D. does. Dr. Cox once called Turk the best surgeon in Sacred Heart. Perry gave Turk the promotion to Chief of Surgery, further cementing his assessment of Turk's abilities. The two are also both professors at Winston U and can hang out at the bar over beer and sports.

-===Denise Mahoney===
-'''[[Denise Mahoney]]''' is Turk's new work best friend. Although Turk doesn't see much of Denise when she is an intern, she was occasionally his teacher's assistant when he was a professor at Winston University. After J.D. left Winston for good, Turk slowly began to see similarities between himself and Denise as he interviewed candidates for a new best friend. They finally became work friends when they steal Eileene from radiology's birthday cake and eat it together.
