[edit] Episode overview

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Once again, J.D. gives up narration for the duration of the episode, this time to Sacred Heart's chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso. During the episode, a wounded soldier from Iraq spawns a debate about the war in Iraq. Yet another episode where Kelso is the only person in the hospital who manages to keep his personal feelings from distracting him from work and clouding his judgement. This leads to the neglect of patients, including the soldier himself. The arguments end when Dr. Kelso ends the employee discount at the coffee shop and everybody joins with a common hatred of him. As J.D. put it in the end of the show, "he wouldn't have it any other way."

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Trivia

This article contains a trivia section.
Content in this section should be integrated into other appropriate areas of the article or removed, and the trivia section removed.

The Iraq War is discussed in this episode. Elliot and Laverne support it, while Dr. Cox and Turk oppose it. Elliot is a Republican, as stated previously in "My Sex Buddy", and it is revealed that Keith is Republican too. Turk and Dr. Cox have negative reactions upon learning that Elliot is a Republican.
The soldier is in hosptial because of an IED explosion.
Two scenes in this episode parody the final scene of An Officer and a Gentleman.
This episode guest stars Michael Weston, who is a former roommate of Zach Braff and has appeared alongside him in Garden State and The Last Kiss.
Sam Lloyd did his own stunts in the "Human Magic 8-Ball" sequence and the pratfall following that.
In the cafeteria scene, the anti-war supporters are sitting to the left, while the pro-war supporters are sitting to the right, symbolizing the general political stance with the respective groups, which is pointed out by Elliot.
It is revealed that Dr Kelso does not hate JD, as Kelso usually makes it seem, but in fact thinks JD would be perfect for his son, if JD were gay.
The name of Michael Weston's character, Private (Brian) Dancer, is a reference to the Tina Turner song, "Private Dancer".
This is the third episode where Dr. Kelso has referred to his "Johnny" tattoo, the other two episodes being "My First Step" and "My Déjà vu, My Déjà vu".
This episode makes reference to An Inconvenient Truth when Elliot says "here's an inconvenient truth: nobody cares."
In this episode Dr. Kelso references to the song 'I Want You to Want Me'. This song was played during one of J.D.'s fantasies in the pilot episode.
Contrary to Dr. Cox's argument, Dr. Kelso CAN be an absentee Chief of Medicine. Most COMs are Salary based and the board doesn't really care about when they work so long as the Chief of Medicine gets the work done.
