Yeah, no that part was fine and realistic, when she's fixing the noobies' mistakes, but there's a later episode, like season 2 maybe where she implies she's more knowledgeable than most of the doctors. I could be wrong.
Generally though Scrubs isn't very ideological, so even at its potential worst it's not bad at all.
To some degree she might be. Most MD specialise so will know everything about their chosen field but it will be the nurses who see how those fields interact with both other fields as well as everything else. I'm not saying she's qualified to be doing the specialist procedures but she will have probably seen far more shit go down because she was the one doing night shifts every day for weeks when the patients were begging for death, or bleeding out of places thought to be impossible.
The nurses all seem to think they know it all. And Carla was especially "confident." I don't work in a hospital but I always equated it to nurses were the NCOs and the doctors were officers.
Yeah, Carla did imply that she knows more than the doctors... but then later on some real shit goes down and she gets put in her place. That stuff was handled pretty well on Scrubs.
