It appeared in one of J.D.'s fantasies, when he was thinking of ways to cure or treat somebody who was suffering physically from sadness. Possible side effects of Box of Kittens include sneezing, tiny scratches, and erectile dysfunction.
Cloveritol[]
Cloveritol is an alternative to standard macrolides, and Dr. Kelso encourages its use. Dr. Cox believes Dr. Kelso is being bribed by the company with free golf trips, to which Dr. Kelso replies, "I'll have you know that I do not authorize any drug for this hospital that I haven't personally researched." When Elliot asks Dr. Kelso what the research showed, Dr. Kelso simply says Cloveritol's slogan.
