Plot Outline:
J.D. gets to see the hospital through the eyes of a patient when he's admitted for appendicitis. Elliot examines him and he tells everyone how cold and rough she is, which drives her crazy. She tries new ways of warming her relationship with the patients, but none of them work. J.D. doesn't want Turk to operate him, and that hurts Turk's feelings a bit but he's the one who does J.D. anyway. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox is trying to show off to his mentor, Dr. Benson, the ex-chief of medicine, who is a patient at the hospital. The only thing in his way is Dr. Kelso, who almost dismissed the patient 1 hour before he almost died. At the end, they all celebrate Thanksgiving at the bar, each with their own accomplishments and failures.
