Ive noticed our show has a lot of subplots about real estate.
He gets chased out and the nurses say they want to unionize.
Mindy signs the petition (petitions make her feel better about never voting) and the nurses are happy.
Later, the doctors give her hell for signing the petition and she tries to erase it.
She gets busted by the nurses and they vote to go on strike.
(This really happens, by the way.
Nurses just had a big strike in Minnesota.
We dont just pull this out of our ass.)
The doctors now have to cross the picket line, and its very confrontational.
Jeremy announces that the practice has hired scabs, otherwise known as free spirited independent nurses.
(We cut a line where Morgan says that healsohas scabs hes covered in them.
Sometimes Morgan gets too gross… even for us!)
The ER is a nightmare without the nurses, so they sit on the floor and wait.
This gives Mindy an idea.
Where did she get the money?
Outside, the strike marches on and Mindy spits on Morgan.
To be continued next week tune in!
