SCRUBS TELEVISION SERIES VIDEO REVIEW
1. Response to Request for Self-Evaluation
All interns at the sacred heart hospital where JD is attached are scheduled to undergo evaluation, a matter that gets J.D nervous, especially when he finds out that Dr. Perry Cox will evaluate him. Dr. Cox gives J.D a chance to value himself on the pretext that he is busy. The scene portrays Cox as an acerbic, sharp-tongued, and bitter person with genuine personal and professional attributes but with a real desire to help both patients and colleagues (Lawrence, Goldman & Donovan, 2014). He is portrayed as a weak team player and John ‘J.D’ should have employed a sense of professionalism by asking Cox to do the evaluation together rather than accepting to review himself.
2. The Need For Honesty In Self-Reviews
Employee self-review requires a high sense of honesty as it initiates a dialogue between employees and their superiors, encourages personal growth, and facilitates employee development (Lawrence, Goldman & Donovan, 2014). Honesty is self-review ensures that one tells the employer their weaknesses and strengths, what they are doing wrong and right and this offers a subjective point of view. Self-reviews serve both high performers and below-average ones as opposed to regular reviews that mainly focus on top performers (Lawrence, Goldman & Donovan, 2014).
Dishonesty in self-review offers the complete opposite as one would be tempted to elevate themselves to statuses they are not in already oblivious of their weaknesses and this in a hospital setting such ZX as Sacred Heart could lead to poor performance that may lead to the death of patients (Jubas & Knutson, 2013).
3. Possible Disciplinary Measures For Dr. Cox And Other Randy Doctors
All doctors should be operating in the same ethical way and should be punished when they fail to do so. They are all held to the same ethical standards and disciplined when there is a need (Hirt, Wong, Erichsen & White, 2013). Disciplinary actions for doctors include loss of license and fines. Dr. Cox should get a little warning later before being subjected to any disciplinary action.
