I was on the verge of tears about halfway through the episode and when this song came on, I couldn't hold it any more. (Even though this song has been played to death by many.) I'm watching the whole series on Netflix at about 3-4 episodes a day and this is the saddest i've seen yet. I'd say this even tops the *Spoilers* Ben's death episode.
i think the aftermath was the kicker for me, the line "after 20 years of being a doctor, losing a patient can still hit you this hard, thats the kind of doctor i want to be"
This is the defining scene for this show for me as far as character development;. Dr. Cox showing emotion and J.D. returning the cold-hearted "just keep trudging" ideology. Love the show (before the writers strike)
Watching a lot of JD and Cox's scenes makes me cry....the whole dynamic of J.D.'s quest for Cox's approval is one of the greatest ideas in sitcom history.
Only thing this video doesn't show is that it's Dr Cox' friend who dies and he would have lived 2 months before he would die without the operation. Great episode and perfect song choice.
there's no way they could've found a better song for this scene...

Yeah, I'm a guy. I'm joining the Marines, I've played hockey for 13 years. I'm what you call "tough as nails". This made me cry.

One of my favourite-episodes in Scrubs' history.
John C. McGinley is, in my opinion, the best actor out there. He proves why in scenes like this.
