** "When the Truth Comes Out" has Dr. Cox with NoSympathy telling J.D. to run the Cat Scan and prove that she's fine. This is followed by several verses where Ms. Miller hears everyone singing about their problems and says, "Oh my god, I'm crazy!" and it's meant to be lighthearted. Cut to a radiologist pointing out to Dr. Cox that Ms. Miller has a giant aneurysm in the temporal lobe.
** In the same song, Ms. Miller asks, "So Dr. Cox, is it serious?" When she sees his face, she speaks, "Oh" with horror, which the cast repeats in song form.
** "Friends Forever" has the hospital sing about how they're close as the vena cava and the aorta, hypodermic needle and a latex tourniquet, the tibia the fibula and the left-right ventricle" before it stops mid-lyric. Then Ms. Miller sings a heartwrenching ballad about how she's scared that she won't live till tomorrow, and wants to know what is going to happen to her.
