Reply to Can we talk about Scrub's episode "My Screw Up" 20 years too late? (Major episode spoilers... 20 year old spoilers) by ChaserNeverRests

Another really sad one that I don't see mentioned often is from an earlier season where Turk, JD and Elliot are each shown with a patient. During the opening voice over JD specifies that statistically one in three patients admitted to the hospital will die there. The episode takes lots of twists and turns and you try to figure out whose patient is gonna be the one that doesn't make it.

In the end? All three patients die. Because sometimes life is harsh

I mean there’s nothing necessarily “wrong” with it per se. As you said family businesses are a thing and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with those.

I believe what people have issue with is when people who were a product of nepotism or got where there are because they were in a family business act like they did it all on their own or were somehow better than others etc.

Using the term “nepo baby” is calling out those people. It’s like saying “no you didn’t get to where you are because you’re so much better than other qualified people, you just had help from your family.”

It's called family business, which was the backbone of this country. So why it is a "thing" now when there is a whole lot of actual bad things going on in the world, & people keep bringing this up....

BTW, I grew up in a family business, as did my parents(different business industry). And it's how I learned from that experience along with going to school for it-to have my own for over 25 years.

Her getting this role, due to being in a relationship is one thing that makes sense for the role she played. People always go one about how this or that couple have "no chemistry". Well this is one way to obtain it onscreen.

I know, that was hard to watch. I was happy that MAGA dog got a nice owner at the end and especially that he seemed to have calmed down.

I set my flair years ago through the sidebar. I hope the mods didn’t take away the option, maybe message them to ask.
