Dr. Ed Dhandapani was an intern at Sacred Heart Hospital until he was fired.
About
Ed doesn't seem to really have the drive to be a doctor at Sacred Heart Hospital, but is there anyway. Instead of filling out patient reports, he chats online about Lost or plays on his cell phone. He fails to help a patient who is crashing. However, he is quite excellent at starting new trends and catch phrases. Ed doesn't care about furthering his medical knowledge other than what is necessary, which bothers Dr. Cox, who hates Ed for his laziness (though Ed apparently is still smart enough that he does "better than most" of the other new interns despite his slacking). ("My ABC's") Later, giving Ed a chance to redeem himself, Dr. Cox makes him study a book on heart disorders. Cox fires Ed two days later for failing to name the heart disorder Cox describes, which proves Ed didn't bother to complete Dr. Cox's assignment. ("My Lawyer's in Love")

- Although Ed appeared in "Our Final Advice", it is still uncertain of how the timeline of the Scrubs: Interns webisode series matches up with Season Eight.
- The reason the character was written out of the show was that Aziz Ansari got a role as a series regular on the NBC show Parks and Recreation during production of Season Eight and he wasn't available for Scrubs anymore due to this.
