Season 4, Episode 15 - My Hypocritical Oath
February 1, 2005
J.D. accompanies Turk and Carla to a nightclub. It's packed with black people and J.D. and Turk are the least hip people there. J.D. is immediately smitten with the gorgeous woman behind the bar. He asks Kylie (Chrystee Pharris) if she can make him an appletini. It turns out that that is her favorite drink. It also turns out that she needs the services of a doctor, so it's a great coincidence that J.D. is a doctor. Kylie shows up at the hospital the next day. But instead needing treatment herself, she brings her boyfriend, James (Marc D. Wilson). J.D. is crushed.

While taking James' medical history, J.D. uses it as an opportunity to dig for information. He finds out that James and Kylie don't live together and they're not engaged. It turns out that James has gonorrhea. Even though he and Kylie have been dating for three months, they haven't slept together. She wanted to wait, so he's sleeping with a few other women until she gives in. J.D. can't believe that James is doing this. But more importantly, J.D. is bound by doctor-patient confidentiality, so he can't tell Kylie anything.

J.D. decides to tell Kylie, even though it violates his Hippocratic Oath. But, he changes his mind at the last minute. Kylie and James drive off together in his nice car. Things turn around when Kylie shows up at the hospital the next day. She says that her friend and fellow bartender Tamyra has similar symptoms like James. J.D. then blurts out that it's gonorrhea. He explains that he couldn't tell her because of the rules. She then says that James wasn't her boyfriend.

Elliot's patient, Mr. Cheng, is in a coma because of renal failure caused by malaria. Since Mr. Cheng is older and his organs are failing, Dr. Kelso doesn't want to try any preventative measures to prolong his life. Elliot isn't sure what to do. Later, she gets up the courage to stand up to Dr. Kelso. She announces that she wants to do an exchange transfusion. Kelso vetoes her since Mr. Cheng's chances for survival are slim. But when they meet with the family, Elliot decides to tell the family that they might have a chance if they do the exchange fusion. The procedure brings Mr. Cheng out of his coma briefly, but then he dies anyway.
