Johnny and Dr. Jackson are joined by Dr. Greg Winter to discuss brain freeze and vaccine misinformation in "Field of Pete," S02E02 of Nickelodeon's "Pete and Pete." This episode was recorded before SDCC 2021 but wasn't able to be released until just after - sorry for any confusion!  

We're back, joined by Dr. Greg Winter, to discuss "My Lunch," S05E20 of Scrubs. You know the episode - it's the one where something sad happens and they play that song by The Fray.

This week Johnny and Dr. Jackson discuss "Little Big Mom," S11E10 of The Simpsons. It's the "stupid sexy Flanders" episode, but more importantly, it's the one where Bart and Homer think they have leprosy. Did you remember that Homer and Bart thought they had leprosy? Because Johnny didn't!

We're joined by Drs. Greg Winter and Scott Herskovitz to discuss the second episode of "Code Black." The show did one thing right - it was a great example of the way doctors in teaching hospitals actually have to teach. Having an ER resident perform a laparoscopic  surgery unassisted? That's less accurate. Greg recommended a book called "The Knife and Gun Club," which can be found on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3bTLCWE

Johnny and Dr. Jackson are joined by Dr. Greg Winter to discuss Evil S01E11, "Room 320." This episode features a homicidal nurse - but she's not a great nurse. And it's not a great hospital. And it's not a great murder method. The original file cuts out before the end of the episode - this has been corrected.

It's a bite-sized episode to take out 2020! Johnny and Dr. Jackson discuss the first minute of the "Happy Endings" season two premiere, "Blax, Snake, Home." It's got an allergic reaction, a stabbing, AND all the oysters you can shuck - what's not to like?
