20 Things You Didn't Know About Scrubs

10. Character Inspiration

Scrubs JD Turk Elliot

It goes without saying that the making of a detailed and effective medical show, in any genre, requires some professional assistance to get the technical aspects of the series right. During the show's run, Lawrence and the cast and crew worked with several medical experts, the most important of whom were called Jonathan Doris, Jon Turk and Dolly Klock.

As a thank-you for their assistance in getting the show right, J.D, Chris Turk and Molly Clock were all named after the advisors.

If that wasn't cool enough, Lawrence has also said that all the medical plotlines on the show were based on real-life stories from various physicians that worked on the series. To commend the work of each doctor and nurse working behind-the-scenes and sharing their tales, Lawrence made sure to include their real names in the episodes that were based on their personal anecdotes.
