All Scrubbed Up

From GraphJam . Hilarious. All they forgot was the seizures. Why is it that there is at least ONE seizure per episode of House. SA Doc tells me it's a lot more exciting than real life. Even the Baragwanath pit.

Shudder. This just CAN'T be good. Some background from IMDB . A highly regarded neo-natal surgeon and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Addison is also a board certified OB-GYN with fellowships in maternal-fetal medicine and medical genetics. She also completed two years of study on cystic fibrosis. In addition, she is also one of only a handful of surgeons in the world who knows how to separate fetal blood vessels. She is increditably wealthy but it was never clearly implied if she was weathy to begin with or if she had to work for her success. Addison met her future husband, Derek Shepherd, in medical school and completed her residency under the supervision of her now good friend, Dr. Richard Webber, whom she, at one point, avoided for almost a year after he taught her a valuable lesson about not getting too close to her patients by putting her on a case in which the patient would inevitably die. Addie and Derek became extremely successful in their respective fields a...

Not enough bloggers take the time to go back in the archives and rehash some of their best material... Egotistically speaking of course. But we're different. So, in case you didn't catch it the first time round - here's a quick series of posts with the REALLY funny stuff, the most viewed, the most commented, the dugg, the undugg... Welcome to Best of All Scrubbed Up! - - - - - Talkin' about foreskin More than a year ago, we started this blog with but two simple goals. Have some fun and make some statements about the South African (and international medical fraternity). What better way to start than an expose on what really matters to guys. Their... well, thingies and the end of their thingy. FORESKIN EXPOSE PART 1 - To chop or not to chop FORESKIN EXPOSE PART 2 - Revenge of the Sif. - - - - - TV Doctor Showdown...

Just. Can't. Get. Enough. PS Oh! Hello! We're back!

And to top it off... some bloopers from Season #3. Everyone loves it. And no. I'm not just posting for the search engine traffic. Ok. Well. Maybe.

Ok. Headline is a tad sensationalist. But it's an interesting CNN news clip on just how real the medical mysteries of House MD are. My favourite bit... Chances are Gregory House wouldn't be employed for long. Damn straight. But I wouldn't mind dipping into his Vicodin bin from time to time :)

House Season 3 is in full swing in South Africa - and we're hooked. Cynical bastard. Loving it. Found his audition on YouTube. Enjoy!

His little pellets, nay, pearls of wisdom keep us amused every Tuesday, nay, We-eh-eh-ednesday night. I though we should all learn from them :) More here . [to an annoying patient] Dr. Cox : Okay, think of what little patience I have as, oh, I don't know, your virginity. You always thought it would be there, until that night Junior Year when you were feeling a little down about yourself and your pal Kevin, who just wanted to be friends, well, he dropped by and he brought a copy of About Last Night and a four-pack of Bartels & James and woo hoo hoo, it was gone forever - just like my patience is now. Jill Tracy : So you do scary little speeches. How adorable. Dr. Cox : ...And bam! The shine's off the apple. And that's when you find out that that pretty little girl you married isn't a pretty little girl at all. No, she's a man-eater. And I'm not talking about the "whoa-whoa, here she comes" kind of man-eater. I'm talking about the kind that uses ...

We've put up a hang of lot of House MD quotes. Almost 50 to be exact. He is just that cool. And NOW... we find a site that just has it all. The kind lad posted a comment on the last House article and I reckon he deserves a punt. Visit his site here .

The last in the batch. Drip. Drip. Sarcasm. Ain't it cool? Dr. Gregory House : [to the crowd in the walk-in clinic's waiting area] Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm Doctor Gregory House; you can call me "Greg." I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning. Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Short, sweet, grab a file. Dr. Gregory House : This ray of sunshine is Doctor Lisa Cuddy. Doctor Cuddy runs this whole hospital, so unfortunately she's much too busy to deal with you. I am a board... certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I am also the only doctor currently employed at this hospital who is forced to be here against his will. [to Lisa] Dr. Gregory House : That is true, isn't it? [to crowd] Dr. Gregory House : But not to worry, because for most of you, this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of ...

Having a dearth of creative medical stuff. In times like these, always wise to turn to the wisdom of this centuries most sarcastic TV Doctor. Gregory House MD. Got these here . And edited for the particularly funny and medical ones. More comin'. Dr. Cameron : Men should grow up. Dr. Gregory House : Yeah. And dogs should stop licking themselves. It's not gonna happen. Dr. Wilson : Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth. Dr. Gregory House : And triteness kicks us in the nads. Dr. Eric Foreman : I think your argument is specious. Dr. Gregory House : I think your tie is ugly. Dr. Wilson : That smugness of yours really is an attractive quality. Dr. Gregory House : Thank you. It was either that or get my hair highlighted. Smugness is easier to maintain. Dr. Gregory House : Perseverance does not equal worthiness. Next time you want to get my attention, wear something fun. Low-riding jeans are hot. Dr. Wilson : [Wilson is quoting a poem from a patient of House's] 'The h...

More, more, more SCRUBS. Yes. It's funny, it's serious, it makes a point - and it's got doctors. What more could you want!? This one below is a little bloopers clip shown on TV a while back. There's much more of this stuff on YouTube . Just do a search! Brought to you by: Scrubs may make light of the relationship between Doctors, Nurses and other medical professionals. But there is nothing new about the requirement for them to have a CMS surety bond .

Oh my. What truly goes on in the halls of those dank hospitals, at 4am, with little sleep, and a little raiding of the medical supplies. HAR. HAR. This cracked me up. Anyone who doesn't watch Scrubs . Well, silly you.

Just realised I don't know any more TV doctors. Well enough to write about them at least. Thinking of adding Dr. John Dorian (Scrubs) to the contestant list - but I used up my "Appletini, STAT!" picture... and that just ruins the comedic value of the post. I've got the one above, but those shifty eyes... Then there's George Clooney (so hot!) and a couple of others. Further research and some DVD box sets needed. The Showdown will continue at a later stage. In case you missed out, here are the current contestants, in order of merit: Dr Perry Cox (Practices in Scrubs and scored 6 / 10) Dr Gregory House (Practices in House MD and scored 5 / 10) Dr Meredith Grey (Practices in Grey's Anatomy and scored 4.25 / 10)

This All Scubbed Up series gets underneath the fake blood, fake smiles and excessive use of shock paddals… Who? Dr Gregory House MD His Playground? House MD An impersonal genius who harks back to the glory days of chauvinistic medicine. Hot or Not: [3 out of 10] – No better looking than Dr Cox. I might get hit with the cane if he doesn’t like this answer. Apparent Medical Skill: [8 out of 10] – A few good ideas, and a lot of luck. Excessive use of trial and error method. The bugger often treats up to 6 differentials - poor patients end up undergoing numerous cardiac arrests, seizures and anaphylactic reactions. Seizure hit-rate way too high for one doctor! Bedside Manner: [3 out of 10] – Issues with race. Obsessed with white boards and black markers. Patients would hate him. Students would be amused… and then terrified. No-one likes the guy who says what we’re all actually thinking. Horrible rash, Dr House. Well, that’s fine, at least he won’t have to live with it for more than a...

This All Scubbed Up series gets underneath the fake blood, fake smiles and excessive use of shock paddals… Who? Dr Perry Cox. His Playground? Sacred Heart Hospital , Scrubs . With quotable quotes like: “ God? My brilliance is becoming quite a burden… ” Ol’ Perry is fighting for first tee-off in the I-Am-God-Fourball (with Gregory House MD… of course). Hot or Not: [4 out of 10] – He takes his shirt off all the time. Which is OK. But doesn’t lift him out of the realms of George Clooney’s ugly cousin. In fact, he’s not the eye candy I watch the show for ( Dr. John Dorian has those crazy eyes!) Apparent Medical Skill: [8 out of 10] – It’s a swoop in, swoop out, recite the diagnosis and the differentials type affair. He’s the typical Physician who knows his stuff. Has uncanny ability to impart wise teachings while belittling the life out of you. Make him your doctor. Don’t beat him at basketball. Bedside Manner: [3 out of 10] – Has strange ability to extend one word into unusual am...

This All Scubbed Up series gets underneath the fake blood, fake smiles and excessive use of shock paddals… Who? Meredith Grey. Her playground? Grey's Anatomy . Something about Meredith is just so flaky. I don’t know whether it’s the raspy possum-like voice used to narrate her way around the pitfalls of sleeping with her colleagues… Or, the mousy I- wish -I-was-the-girl-next-door looks. Let’s be fair. It’s just the first season. Hot or Not: [6 out of 10] – You kinda think she would look hot. And then she kinda does, but kinda doesn’t. I just don’t know with this one. It’s hot, but condescending I-went-to-a-better-private-school-than you hot. Apparent Medical Skill: [5 out of 10] - Maybe as a psychiatrist she’d get a higher score. Although definite minus points for having a cry while shagging the shy doctor (George). Was expecting a better performance out of dear Meredith. With that name, and those “mature” looks – she must have bummed around as a Chicken Licken sales lady befor...
