Scrubs Television Show Hospital Filming Site Filled with Rats

People working on the set are advise to bring dog to fight off the rats. The hospital was one of quite a few that have been closed in the southern California area over the years. Except for the rats it makes for a very realistic setting of course. BD

The stars of sitcom Scrubs live in fear on the set of the medical show, because the derelict hospital it's shot in is infested with thousands of rats.
The show is filmed on location at North Hollywood Medical Center, which was abandoned in 1998 and has been used in a number of TV shows and movies, as well as being home to colonies of rodents.
Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence describes the hospital as the "worst" place he has ever filmed, telling AOL, "The rat infested hospital where we shot Scrubs - we encouraged people to bring dogs to fight off the vermin."
