[edit] Plot

In this episode, Dr. John "J.D." Dorian developes appendicitis. During his treatment at the hospital, he is cared for by Dr. Elliot Reid and Dr. Chris Turk. J.D. complains of Elliot's cold demeanor with patients and expresses concern for Turk's immaturity. As is common in most episodes of Scrubs, however, each character finds their insights into their own problems and misconceptions. J.D. learns to appreciate Turk's skill as a surgeon despite his immaturity outside of the operating room, and Elliot realizes her strengths as a skilled doctor as well.

The episode ends with the begrudging Sacred Heart Hospital family enjoying a makeshift thanksgiving over drinks in the local bar.
