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

"My Perspective" is the ninth episode of Scrubs' sixth season. Elliot and Turk have to look after J.D. when he is diagnosed with a rare disease. Turk's patient loses faith in him after he tells the truth. Carla tries out her new "I have a baby" excuse, and the Janitor goes on vacation, but that doesn't stop him from tormenting J.D.

Synopsis[]

6x9-Meathead

Todd acts like a meathead in front of Brian Dancer.

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 in school, and Private Dancer asks for a different surgeon to operate on him. Turk's replacement turns out to be a veteran surgeon from Croatia, Miloš' Radovicnouizicioiuizcinicizich'l, who, despite being an accomplished attending in his home country, has to redo his residency at Sacred Heart.

6x9-Dr. Cox invites J.D

Dr. Cox invites J.D. to grab a beer with him.

Meanwhile, J.D. is coping with vasovagal syncope, a condition that means he faints every time he goes for a poo — causing Turk and Elliot to take turns looking after him. Turk realizes that Dr. Kelso was right about lying, but still doesn't want to do it. Dr. Cox tells him to tell the truth, but without giving false hope. He does, and Private Dancer regains his faith in Turk. Meanwhile, Ted and Todd — on the demand of the Janitor — tie J.D. to the ceiling, where he looks down on people whining to their friends about their problems, 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). J.D. realizes how fed up Elliot and Turk must get when they listen to him complaining.

  • Nissel says in the DVD commentary that the character of Carl, one of the leaders of the angry mob who attack Frankenstein's monster, is played by "our prop man" Patrick.
  • Since J.D. got a DUI he would have most likely had to attend AA.

  • In this episode, it is revealed that Colonel Doctor is Lloyd's father.
  • In the Janitor's email to Ted, the "to" and "from" lines are both the same (someone named Ellen).
  • When Turk draws an incision line on Private Dancer, he draws it on the right side of his abdomen. A couple of camera views later, the line is on the left side.
