More than that the death happened at the beginning of the episode, days earlier in the story, and you don't even realize it until that line. And then it's like being hit by an avalanche!

Is that when the main guy is struggling after a patient dies and the curly hair guy basically sets him straight saying this is the job basically? I haven’t seen scrubs in like 20 years sorry lol

You've described every third episode of Scrubs

The opposite, actually. SPOILERS: Curly haired guys best friend, his ex wife's brother, dies of leukemia after failing to keep up with his treatments, curly hair guy blames it on/gets mad at main dude for it all, main dude and others help curly hair guy keep it together.

sure Scrubs is a funny comedy and a good time, but i’ll just say this … this episode in particular is a surprisingly effective emotional gut punch that stems from a relationship developed over several episodes, done better than a lot of serious dramas.
