You mean to say that autism ISN'T the same thing as malignant narcissism compounded by drug addiction and being brilliant enough to be surrounded by enablers?! 🤯
Yes, it's based on another Korean show (called Good Doctor). It was actor Daniel Dae Kim who helped bring the show to America. He is also the actor Freddie Highmore played opposite in the now infamous "I am a surgeon" scene.
In your defense, Freddie Highmore looked very young in the first season. Made especially egregious cause he played a young autistic man who didn't know how to mask. It made him read as much younger than he is.
Patient was having a heart attack. Um... why does he have a hole in his throat?
Why would you ask me? I ain't a doctor. Anyway I'd better be going now...
Gets back in airplane seat
A razor blade huh
Should have said steak knife.
as long as it's under 3 inches it's allowed
"I'm a doctor."
"Aren't you going to help?"
"Well, I'm a doctor of archeology so I can't do much until after he dies."
Beautiful can-do attitude!
Confidence is 99% of the solution!
Isn't that the plot of the good doctor? (I have never watched it)
No. The Good Doctor is about an autistic doctor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, but has issues talking with patients and working with others.
TV autistic, where autism is a super power
Episode 1 has a scene similar to this.
Isn't that just House?
House isn't autistic. He's brilliant, but in constant pain and taking it out on anyone and everyone around him.

People can have comorbidities. I think House has chronic pain, autism, and NPD.
But one is for sure, he doesn't have lupus.
No but the patient did that one time
I don't remember the show ever officially ruling that out.
Almost the same plot as Extraordinary attorney Woo.

Also, isn't he 14 years old or thereabouts?
No, he's an adult who went to medical school at the usual time.
There are frequent flashbacks to his traumatic as fuck childhood, but he's an adult doctor.
Ah ok, must have confused it with another show I saw a trailer of, then 🤷🏻
You re thinking of Doogie Howser, M.D. perhaps?
Nah, that's from before my time but also stars NPH so I wouldn't confuse it with anything NOT starring Dr Horrible 😁
This appeared as a moral dilemma

The first step in an operation of this type is...
...to shave the patient.
"Take your pants off"
Fake it 'til you make it.
McGyver would have used a chewing gum but I award your effort with a pancake.
I use the pancake to seal the wound!
Sure, he’s dead, but we can at least get started on a nice-ish embalming.
I am new way to go
I am the way of the future
ah... the crow soundtrack was the best
really was!
Get your Ed D in education, anyone can get that with two years of easy work. Edited to call you Future Doctor.
I hope to go to doctor school someday
"This man is having a heart attack is anyone a doctor?" "I am." "Can you save him?" "Oh no, I'm a doctor in integrative dance."
