TV shows I never watch are anything glorifying the health care industry.
I got a different impression from Scrubs. To me it was a show mostly about doctors, and whenever it did talk about the healthcare industry, it was largely critical. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I remember they would frequently criticize the bullshit and red tape in the healthcare industry. I think there’s even an episode in the first season where they commit insurance fraud to save a poor patient.
I think the insurance fraud episode is way later as the hospital director is played by Monica from friends. But maybe they did that twice and I just forgot?
IIRC it was very early on - JD noticed a surgery scheduled for an empty bed and corrected it. Proud of himself he let Kelso know, only to find out later that Cox did it on purpose.
Oh I’m thinking of the woman who didn’t have insurance but her dad did, so he pretended to have the same disease so he could hand her the medication she needed.
Ha I forgot about that one!
