[edit] Episode overview
J.D. gives a talk to some pre-med students about what it's like to be a doctor. One of them asks him what was his best moment in medicine. Later in the cafeteria he tries to persuade his colleagues to divulge their best moments. Despite their refusal to discuss this, the rest of the episode centres around their individual best moments. Each of these moments proves to be less than impressive. At the same time, the episode focuses on the patient Mr. Milligan who desperately wants to be home with his son for Christmas. He first falls unconscious, then is near death. Carla is the one who suggests the idea that his spleen was ruptured while wrestling with his son. Once this is known, he quickly goes to surgery, where Turk performs the operation. The conclusion is that each person pulls together to help get Mr. Milligan home and for each of them this becomes their best moment in medicine.
[edit] Quotes
- Student: Dr. Dorian, what was your best moment in medicine?
J.D.: My best moment? Well, there was this guy...
Elliot: ...he had the most amazing little kid...
Carla: ...and the doctors actually listened to me...
Turk: ...I knocked the surgery right out the park...
Kelso: ...and I decided to pull some strings for the guy...
Dr. Cox: ...and honest to God, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself but Newbie handled the whole thing wire-to-wire...
J.D.: ...and I kept my promise - because the two of them got home for Christmas. And that was my best moment in medicine.
[edit] Featured music
- The 1980s hit Take on Me by A-ha is played during JD's flashback to a (apparent) high-school party.
- The song playing in the background during the last moments of the episode is a cover of The Beatles song "Please Please Me" but with lyrics from the Christmas song "Joy to the World," performed by The Butties.
