#546 When Nobody Claps
There is wisdom in the rants of Dr. Cox. In this, he tells Newbie (JD) to evaluate himself at the end of his intern year (season 1 Ep. 8). Newbie doesn’t get it. Dr. Cox lays it out.
Dr. Cox: Clam up! I wanted you to think about yourself -- and I mean really think. What are you good at? What do you suck at? And then I wanted you to put it down on paper. And not so I could see it, and not so anybody else could see it, but so that you could see it. Because, ultimately, you don't have to answer to me, and you don't have to answer to Kelso, you don't even have to answer to your patients, for God's sake! You only have to answer to one guy, Newbie, and that's you!
Dr. Cox, he speaks the truth. And so do I.
