Ok, listen here, pumpkin, if you’re honestly having this much trouble understanding this simple concept, just go ahead and give me a call and I’ll toss you a sympathy throw-down anytime.

...Fine Newbie, I'll explain it to you.

Posting Rules:

  • Post questions and/or concepts that you would like explained or answered

  • Questions should have some quality that calls for an objective (albeit aggressive) explanation

  • Preface your question with ELDC (otherwise the spam filter will hate you more than it hates Bob-o)

  • Be polite and respectful...Unless you're answering the target question or any follow-up questions.

  • When answering questions, feel free to name call, put down, rant at, or generally be disrespectful and rude towards the poster. Remember though, we're here to reluctantly teach these Newbies so try to fit an answer in there under all the contempt.

  • Despite all the fantastic doctors around, this is not a place for medical advice.

Dr. Cox, I have a question about your coat...

In episode 5 of season 2, My New Coat, you berate J.D. for wearing a white doctor's coat while you go coatless for the entire episode. Yet in nearly every other episode, you can clearly be spotted wearing a white doctor's coat. Why is that?

Dr. Cox, don't you think it's kind of gross that the women and men have to change in the same dressing room? Are you planning on changing that now that you're Chief of Medicine at Sacred Fart?

ELDC Dr. Cox, I know you didn't really care for Barbie Reid that much (or ANY other doctor) but you had to like it when Janitor would mess with Dr. Kelso if he tore into Barbie, right?

ELDC: I turn 30 today

Dr.C, today's my birthday and I'm 30 today. I'm still processing it. My 20s seemed like such a long time ago and a lot has happened. To be honest, I already miss it.

Any advice?

Dr. Cox, you weren't enthusiastic about interviewing for Chief of Medicine and you seemed to hate that you never got to do actual doctor stuff. Do you regret applying for the position?

Dr. Cox, you berated us residents about our 'first kill.' but you've never said anything about YOUR first kill? So, keeping HIPPA in mind, who were they and how did you screw up?
