Can I count this as an EC??

Ok, since my MCAT in May I've had a lot of downtime and having never watched it before I started with the first episode of Scrubs.

I just finished the the 169th (final) episode of Scrubs and I've learned so much about medicine....shouldn't this count as an EC? And maybe even clinical experience???

If only. As far as clinical experience, no, since you can't smell the patients (to paraphrase LizzyM).

. . . having watched the entire series. . .

👍
I started to do this once a few years back, but got bogged down somewhere around season 3. ~i'm not sure what happened 😕

Maybe I should try to pick it back up. I've heard bad things about the last season, though (when it switched networks). Should I skip that one?

What was your viewing schedule? One a day? Double up on weekends?

When I was a teacher in China, I did not have to hold class during finals (mine was only a "fun" class), which essentially gave me a couple weeks extra vacation. Wanting to make the most of this time, I held a marathon viewing session and watched every single episode of Friends - believe it took me 4-5 days total.

Thinking back on it now, I'm not sure how I actually managed to have the willpower to do that o_0

I watched through season 8. 1-7 were NBC; season 8 was the same cast but ABC so I watched...not too bad. Season 9 is where they changed the cast, and I had heard bad things so I didn't watch.

Well the people who finished Tough Mudder last week all smelled like, well, a farm, so can I count that as a clinical experience? 😛

Holy crap. I would've never admitted it. But I did the same thing this summer.

I watched it so much. I started to think in scrubs like punch lines and self-musings in my real life.

Did that a few years ago, finished watching them about half-way through season 7. Advice for anyone going down this path: do NOT watch season 9. Or, at least, do not watch it thinking about how much you love Scrubs. As a separate show, it's really not all that awful, but as part of the Scrubs universe it's painful. I mean, really? Scrubs without JD? That's like KFC without chicken.
