TRIVIA

This episode was part of NBC's 75th Anniversary celebration, in which actors from previous NBC shows guest starred in current ones.
The four doctors that JD helps, after being stuck with the needle filled with the Hepatitis A patient's blood, all played roles on "St. Elsewhere" (1982), another show about young interns learning the ins and outs of the job. The actors are Ed Begley Jr., William Daniels (I), Stephen Furst and Eric Laneuville. Daniels played a role similar to Dr. Kelso; Begley and Furst were interns, and Laneuville was an orderly/physician's assistant.
