The countdown to the new episodes of “Scrubs” is on, and we wondered who the most popular doctors are among many – so far. And the main character JD didn’t make it to the top 3.
How did this ranking come about? We consulted the website keywordtool.io for this ranking. The site tracks search queries via Google. Information about the past 12 months for a specific query as well as similar or related queries can be accessed.
To ensure comparability, we specifically searched for worldwide search queries related to the doctors. The period was the full past 12 months, and we wanted to know globally.
Of course, there are many more than just 10 doctors in Scrubs. Due to low search queries for side characters like the crazy Dr. Hooch or Dr. Bartface, we focused on the 10 most popular.
Spoiler warning: Characters from all nine seasons released so far are included in the ranking. Accordingly, there may be spoilers here.
10. Dr. Doug Murphy
The ranking starts with Dr. Doug Murphy with only 720 search queries in 12 months. Johnny Kastl portrays the absolute unlucky character from Scrubs. He debuts in the first episode alongside JD, Turk, and Elliot. However, his patients die more often than they leave healed.
Throughout the series, he discovers his talent for pathology: because so many patients have died due to his own mistakes, he easily recognizes even the wildest causes of death. He repeatedly provides situational comedy when he stands with body bags in elevators or hallways.
9. Dr. Denise Mahoney
Eliza Coupe portrays Dr. Denise Mahoney. She has made it to 9th place with 1,600 search queries. She debuts in Episode 1 of the eighth season as an intern. For JD, it is particularly distressing how emotionless and cold Denise appears to her patients.
However, she pushes through, and by season nine, she finally becomes a doctor and trains her own interns.
8. Dr. Kim Briggs
Dr. Kim Briggs is a urologist, the mother of JD’s oldest child, and ranks 8th among the most searched doctors from Scrubs with 1,643 search queries. She first appears in episode 23 of the fifth season and is played by Elizabeth Banks. In fact, Kim has been working at Sacred Heart longer than JD and Turk – they just never noticed her.
