The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 2 Review: Change of Perspective

Was anybody stunned that Shaun butted heads along with his new resident on his first day as an attending?

The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 2 handled Shaun being on the opposite aspect of a battle between attending and resident. For the primary time, he was the boss, and he virtually made an irreversible mistake.

Thankfully, he did the precise factor in the long run, arising with an answer that allowed Powell to proceed studying regardless of her refusal to do the process.

Shaun did not suppose the scenario with Powell was analogous to his disagreements with Glassman or different medical doctors, and in a method, he was proper.

Powell was taking an moral stance that may make it tougher for her to proceed together with her profession, whereas Shaun tended to disagree with different medical doctors about the perfect course of therapy.

Still, Shaun discovered Powell’s disobedience annoying, and he wanted it identified that that is how different medical doctors really feel when he will not take heed to their directions.

Jordan: That is so awkward between her and Dr. Murphy.
Asher: Everyone and Murphy is awkward.
Jordan: But Murphy precipitated her paralysis,
Asher: Murphy saved her life.

As an apart, all of the folks blaming Shaun for Lim’s paralysis want to chill it.

There’s no goal proof that Shaun’s surgical course led to this consequence. Everyone assumes that is the case as a result of he did not do what Glassman needed.

At first, Lim was nice after surgical procedure; she then crashed, and when she wakened once more, she was paralyzed. That may have occurred simply as simply if Shaun had adopted Glassman’s suggestion.

No matter what therapy the medical doctors selected, there have been dangers and unexpected issues. Glassman’s determination accountable Shaun is only egotistical; he thinks if Shaun had adopted his instructions as an alternative, it would not have occurred, and that is about him being upset that Shaun undermined him.

If anybody is accountable for Lim’s paralysis, it is the man who stabbed her. Without that, there would have been no want for surgical procedure and no subsequent paralysis.

Guessing video games about what would have occurred if Shaun had carried out a unique surgical procedure do not do anybody any good. Lim is paralyzed, and that is how it’s.

Lim’s try to regulate to utilizing a wheelchair at work was reasonable and dramatic. She additionally has some (extra) PTSD from being stabbed, which appears secondary to her bodily points.

Her willpower to get again to doing surgical procedure masked her ache over not having the ability to do issues the way in which she used to.

I hate that I would like this factor. I hate that I’ve to drive with my arms. I hate that my physique will not do what I need it to and that I’ve to be a goddamn Olympic gymnast simply to get off the bathroom. And I hate Shaun Murphy.

Lim

Anyone who has suffered a life-changing harm, particularly one involving mobility, may relate to how she felt (minus the anger at Shaun).

She wants somebody she might be susceptible with; she retains making an attempt to bottle up her ache so she will get on with the enterprise of being a health care provider, and that is not going to steer wherever good.

Getting again to Shaun and Powell, was anybody else irritated that Andrews would not give him any recommendation?

Yes, Shaun is an attending now, however it’s his first day, and anybody who has been in a supervisory place for only some hours might need questions on methods to deal with a difficulty with their trainees.

Shaun is much more prone to want that sort of assist as a result of of his autism.

Andrews’ non-advice did not assist, and Glassman and Lea’s recommendation did not both. Glassman was too caught up in bitterness over Shaun overruling him in Lim’s case, and Lea was solely frightened about Powell inflicting Shaun extra hassle sooner or later.

Thank goodness Lim had some first rate recommendation, or Powell would have been out of a job when that wasn’t the easiest way to deal with her considerations.

Andrews did one factor proper: he advised Morgan and Park to cease sniping at one another.

It wanted to be stated about two years in the past, however higher late than by no means.

These two have been unprofessional for a very long time. Together or not collectively, they can not seem to assist getting one another’s goat.

Their fixed arguing is so annoying that it makes me want Morgan had taken that job in New York.

Powell’s refusal to make use of a pig coronary heart introduced up fascinating moral questions, insubordination apart.

Surprisingly, Asher was okay with the surgical procedure regardless of his non secular upbringing. Since he follows the kosher legal guidelines, which embody not consuming pig merchandise, I assumed he may additionally be uncomfortable with utilizing a pig coronary heart. But he took the alternative stance to Powell, viewing the use of animal merchandise as a typical half of medical therapy.

The pig being dropped at the hospital alive added one other dimension to the difficulty. The medical doctors weren’t simply utilizing a pig’s coronary heart; they had been liable for killing the pig. Even Shaun was a bit uncomfortable with that!

Naming the pig Wilbur was a bit on the nostril — anybody who has learn Charlotte’s Web understood the importance. Nevertheless, I used to be glad he acquired a last-minute reprieve and that Jordan’s affected person adopted him.

Jordan and Perez’s case was odd. The man had a tumor on his neck, however Jordan appeared extra involved about his hoarding habits than his bodily sickness.

Jeremiah did not need medical doctors in his enterprise.

Patient: You know, this is the reason I do not like hospitals. Too a lot meddling in issues which are none of your rattling enterprise.
Morgan: You might have surgical procedure to take away that mass out of your neck. Is that okay?
Patient: What the hell do you suppose I’m right here for?

After the way in which Jordan continuously pressed him to resolve his points, whether or not it meant purchasing in shops as an alternative of on-line or getting rid of junk he did not need to half with, I could not blame him.

He was there as a result of of a tumor on his neck. And whereas what he was doing was unhealthy, it wasn’t life-threatening. Jordan was proper to ask about it the primary time, however after that, she ought to have left it alone.

If she was involved, she may have requested for a psych seek the advice of. But making an attempt to get Jeremiah to alter when he did not need to was ineffective, and he or she wanted to drop it.
