Hi.

Hope you’re doing well.

For instance, Scrubs is famed for being very medically accurate and was just rewatching a season 4 episode (My Drive-By) where Dr. Cox correctly diagnoses a patient having Lyme carditis and when I originally heard it, this led me to research it a little and I was very pleased in myself for learning something interesting on a sitcom.

What about you? Anything you’ve learned from a scripted show, especially something you’ve retained?
