"'''My Own Personal Jesus'''" is the eleventh episode of the American [[sitcom]] ''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]''. It originally aired as Episode 11 of Season 1 on [[December 11]], [[2001]]. |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
It's [[Christmas]] at [[Sacred Heart Hospital|Sacred Heart]]. While working in the free clinic, [[Elliot Reid|Elliot]] treats a pregnant teenaged girl named Meredith Fox. Dr. Kelso believes this will be good practice for Elliot, since he believes she, like so many female physicians, will end up in [[family practice]], [[pediatrics]] or [[obstetrics and gynaecology]]. However, Elliot is extremely awkward and uncomfortable dealing with Meredith, and by the time Elliot finds out she needs to [[Childbirth|deliver]] immediately, Meredith has left the hospital. Elliot goes to the hospital on her day off to look for her, but has no success. |
|||
[[Dr. Cox]] makes [[John Dorian|J.D.]] tape the birth of his friends' baby, but J.D. messes up and the pregnancy does not record. To avoid ridicule from [[List of minor characters of Scrubs#Jordan Sullivan|Jordan]], Dr. Cox switches the tape with a recording of the birth of another baby, but she is not fooled. |
|||
Despite the holiday season, [[Chris Turk|Turk]], who is religious, is the only person in the hospital full of Christmas spirit. However, after spending [[Christmas Eve]] on call, his faith in God is shaken. While sitting in thought up on the hopital roof, he notices the star on top of the tree and realises Elliot's patient, Meredith, must be there. He arrives just in time to deliver the baby. This incident, which he believes is a [[miracle]], rekindles his faith. |
|||
This episode also marks the first appearance of the oft-mentionned Nurse Tisdale, who male characters often describe as the hottest woman in the hospital. |
|||
==References to popular culture== |
|||
*The title is a reference to the song "[[Personal Jesus]]" by [[Depeche Mode]], which features the lyric "Your own personal Jesus." |
|||
*In the beginning of the episode there's a reference to [[Happy Days]] when J.D dressed as [[Fonzie|The Fonz]] enters a patients room, "fixes" the patient by a [[Technical Tap]] on the chest, shouts the signature [[Fonzie]] "Aaay!" before snapping his fingers and receiving a nurse to smooch. |
|||
*The fantasy of Turk as a preacher is a reference to a similar scene in the 1980 musical comedy ''[[The Blues Brothers (film)|The Blues Brothers]]''. |
