Plot Synopsis

Pressured by her lawyer Will, Karen decides it's time for her annual Walker corporate physical, but begins to regret this decision after being examined by a slightly unorthodox physician. Elsewhere, while accompanying Karen to her physical, Jack finds his true calling — student nursing — and begs Will and Karen to support this new endeavor or face his eternal scorn.

Notes

• Debra Messing only appears in one scene (talking on the phone to Will).
• This epsiode sets up Jack's career change to nursing.
• Jack Black is consulting producer Laura Kightlinger's real-life boyfriend. Jack Black was not credited in the end-credits.
• The A-story in this episode originally dealt with Leo's Doors cover band, "The Operating Room Doors", a joke from the "Marry Me A Little More" episode. However, with Debra Messing having to miss the majority of filming for this episode, the A story had to be changed. The B-story dealing with Jack's new career was already written and then taped, so to keep the setting of the hospital, they created the story of Karen's physical.
