Last scene from Scrubs with Michael J Fox playing OCD sufferer Dr Casey.
I love this scene. Specifically, 02.30 minutes onwards. Scrubs, considering it’s a sitcom, and despite all attempts is truly as deep as a puddle, manages to point out that OCD and similar problems aren’t freakish or deficiencies, but are illnesses that the sufferer has to deal with. It’s almost like problems of a psychological nature are considered a failing of the sufferer; something went wrong when they were made, their problem. This is probably true – most likely they stem back to chemical imbalances etc, but that doesn’t make them any less of a disease. And certainly don’t make them any easier to deal with.
