This is the only episode where the cafeteria windows are not frosted. edit »
As Dr. Kelso drives by and grabs Ted's lunch at the beginning, he yells, "Thanks Ted!" but in the closed caption it says, "See ya later, sucker!" edit »
While it appears that Dr. Cox was performing the Heimlich maneuver improperly (squeezing the guy's chest) he was actually performing a variant of the Heimlich maneuver: the chest thrust. Used primarily on pregnant women, the chest thrust is less dangerous than the traditional J-thrust because it lessens the risk of injury to internal organs and is just as effective. edit »

Johnny Kastl, who plays Doug, actually did break both his feet during a skiing accident. On the DVD special features, he says that the writers thought that this was such a "Doug Murphy" thing to do that they wrote it into the script. edit »

Dr. Kelso: (to Doug, after he takes his scooter away) No offense son, but I can't have a delusional bozo like you driving that around the halls. edit »
J.D.: As I gangsta leaned down the hallway in the rad new wheels I found near the dumpster, I couldn't help but realize how ego affects everything.
(J.D. crashes the scooter into a cart of medical supplies) edit »
Dr. Cox: Bottom line, in medicine, half of pulling it off is believing you're the biggest, smartest bad-ass of a doctor to ever walk these halls. You wanna see how you end up if you don't believe that?
Doug is on the floor of the morgue, trapped under a corpse.
Doug: I don't know how it happened again, but it did! edit »
Dr. Cox: I cannot believe that you of all people are the one I have to tell this to: Ego is good, you dumb-ass. It's the reason that guy wants you to be his surgeon, it's the reason that she is borderline attracted to you, and it's the reason she so desperately wants to marry you.
J.D.: Page me when you're headed home! edit »
Todd: You did great work.
Turk: Hey, you know, it's not about me.
Dr. Cox comes up and puppets Turk's hand in the five.
Todd: Assisted five! I'll take it! edit »

J.D.: (to Dr. Cox) In my defense, I was up late watching a "Designing Women" marathon.

"Designing Women" was a TV comedy that aired from 1986 to 1993. It centered around four women working for an interior design firm. edit »
Turk: (referring to the patient he bet on in a race) Come on, Colonel Mustard.

Colonel Mustard is a character you can play as in the board game "Clue." He was also a character in the subsequent movie based on the board game. edit »
Body Heat (1981):
Elliot, Jake and J.D. watch the movie 'Body Heat' and talk about its leading actress Kathleen Turner in Elliot's apartment edit »
