Scrubs: 10 Best Characters In Just One Episode

5. Denise

Matthew Perry Scrubs
NBC

When Dr. Cox was forced to work two shifts as an EMT in order to fulfil his mandatory community service, he was paired with one of the few people he ever came across that annoyed him more than JD.

He had to spend two whole shifts working with Denise, the woman who simply could not stop talking. It wasn't even like she was having a conversation with Perry, there was nothing coming from his side, it was purely one way traffic. As she talked at him about her son, how funny certain words were, and driving, he just grew angrier and angrier.

When it came time for her to sign his form, in true Cox style he lashed out at her, questioning what happened to her that made her so needy. He made her feel about two inches tall, but the true heartbreak was that he immediately found out why she tried so hard connect with people.

Her son was killed when he was just a young boy in an accident, and she struggled to deal with life without him. She was however, inspired by the amazing EMTs to become one herself. She may have been annoying, but she was an incredible woman, who took a tragedy in her life and tried to make the best out of the situation by doing some good.
