What is the ‘Scrubs’ reboot about?

It’s been a long time since J.D. walked the halls of Sacred Heart Hospital, but he’s finally ready to return. His bromance with his best friend, surgeon Chris Turk, hasn’t changed a bit, but there are plenty of other parts of life at the hospital that have evolved in a major way over the years.

The interns have changed, the staff have changed, and medicine itself has changed. But J.D., Elliot, Turk, Carla, and Dr. Cox are still on the job, bringing healing with a dose of humor to each and every shift.
