    Identity

    In the Scrubs episode "My New Coat," the storyline has some interesting moments, but it's not particularly memorable. A blonde surgeon hooks up with Elliot but soon reveals himself to be a jerk, highlighting Elliot's ongoing struggle for validation and identity in a hospital where she often feels invisible. Turk, on the other hand, deals with the pressure of fitting into the "boys' club" in surgery, exploring the balance between friendship and fraternity. Dr. Cox adds some humor with his usual clashes against Dr. Kelso, while the janitor provides a great gag by parading around in a white coat.

    • Quotes

      Dr. Perry Cox: [turning around J.D] Listen closely, Tiny Dancer! I wouldn't be flapping my mouth if I'd forgotten to get a blood culture on Mr Blair. And, for the love of God, do you at least remember what you were doing the day they were passing out common sense? Oh gosh, maybe you were running late that day 'cos' you couldn't find the right thong for those low-rider jeans that you love so much; maybe you were busy bopping along to whatever boy band really makes your heart race nowadays and you just drove on by. Of course I don't know, I'm just guessing... But one thing's sure: you wound up at the dumb-dumb store and just went ahead and put about as much of that in the car as you could fit... didn't you?

      J.D.: [narrating to himself] And then I did something I've never done before...

      [Out loud]

      J.D.: Look, Doctor! If you flipped the page on that chart

      [starts and turns around Cox]

      J.D.: you'd see that I pan cultured him yesterday. But that would probably get in the way of the perverse pleasure you take in pointing out people's slip-ups! Well, too bad, Buster Brown, because I'm a resident now, and I'm not gonna be making the same intern mistakes I made last year. I'd appreciate if you wouldn't stand and yell at me in front of my patient!

      Dr. Perry Cox: Buster Brown?

      J.D.: Buster Brown.

      [narrating to himself]

      J.D.: Focus all energy on lip not quivering!

      Dr. Perry Cox: [Growls and goes away]

      J.D.: [narrating to himself] Wow...
