Allusions and References

• Endocrinology: Endocrinology is an area of medicine dealing with the endocrine system and the hormones that the system controls. Doctors in this area typically deal with organs whose only purpose is hormonal and treat disorders of the pituitary, including growth disorders; diseases of the thyroid; diseases of the adrenal glands; and diseases of the ovary and testes. They also occasionally deal with diabetics, but more often than not diabetics have their own specialist.

Elliot: There was an endocrinology fellowship with this amazing doctor over at County, but it was a little over my head.

Quotes

• Hooch: Who the hell put bouillon cubes in the shower head!? Huh? Hm, did you do it? Hm? Did you? If it happens again, I will wait in my S.U.V., blast me some speed-metal-- 5.1 surround sound, heavy on the bass-- and someone... will be getting... mowed... down.

J.D.: Hooch is crazy!
