Overcoming Prejudice and Discrimination

Would it be too superficial if I said that I watched the drama because of Douyin and because of the handsome Asian guy in episode 10? But I've always felt that attracting people is a means, and retaining talent is an ability, and obviously that's what it is.

This is a doctor's drama that uses autistic patients as doctors as the protagonist. Similar to the previous doctor's dramas, the characters and lives of each doctor in the hospital are slowly portrayed through operations one by one. I think the biggest difference is that Because the protagonist is also a patient, there are more difficulties and prejudices. When we watch the drama, we will understand the reasons for other people's prejudice against Sean. After all, their daily work is to rob people of death, and they cannot be distracted. To take care of such a person, or to choose ordinary people, would not choose Sean. But the first point of view in the play is Sean. You will feel the harm of this kind of prejudice and discrimination. You obviously work hard and even have outstanding ability, but every step is harder than others.

I found that I was really serious this year, and I wrote notes for every episode I watched. My God, let’s take two of them as the record of this article, because in fact, American dramas are like this, and each episode can become an independent Read the story, and finally connect several protagonists to the whole play.

Episode 2

From the three interns, starting to describe the character, Claire is compassionate, she will promise the patient that the risk is actually underestimated, Jared is very aggressive and heroic, so he took Sean's proposal and The operation was successful, but nothing to blame, as he said to Claire, although Sean proposed the idea, why didn't you point it out at the time (because Claire also knew that team director Melendez was biased against Sean)? Then the success of the operation counts as Sean's, and the failure counts as mine? And spoke out about Claire's hypocrite behavior, because she was also standing in the idea of ​​giving up treatment to ensure that the patient had three months to attend the patient's son's wedding. The wonderful thing is that when Claire and other patients woke up, facing the gratitude of the patients, she could not tell the risks and choices she faced at that time.

In the same way, in the face of being targeted with prejudice by the conceited director all day, Sean took a brave step and saved a little girl according to his own judgment. I was really moved when he successfully entered the operating room. Walking in a prejudiced world, every step is so difficult. In fact, he is constantly learning and correcting. For example, speaking directly to the patient will only cause the patient's fear and will not help the treatment of the surgical condition. And those ironies,

In the end, because of Sean's persistence, he also won the thanks of the little girl's family. His dialogue with the dean of his adoptive father is very important. Sean does not understand why the credit is so important, but the adoptive father is very straightforward and educates him that those who have merit do not need to Miscellaneous, yes, this is a highly competitive society. From the first episode, it has been predicted that the dean may be forced to resign in the future, so Sean must be taught to be brave for his credit.

Episode 18

After one season, everyone has grown differently:

Claire Browne

Claire should be the first choice among interns in Melendez's heart, because she not only has excellent surgical skills, but especially her empathy skills and excellent communication skills, which requires frequent communication with patients and their families. is a clear advantage in the hospital environment. But at the same time, this also has drawbacks. It’s like in that episode of a famous live broadcast celebrity who came to have an operation and lost the test vocal cords. Claire would have a good conscience to say “sorry”. This behavior that goes against the hospital policy can be said to be immature, but It is also a precious innocence of a doctor who has just started working. Of course, her own unfavorable family environment made her feel inferior and self-improving. When facing sexual harassment, I was deeply impressed by the episode with the patient: If you have found Utopia, you must tell me, but before that, I love my job, so I have to play by the rules of the game. This is a kind of helplessness for women in the workplace, and it even spread to her relationship with her boyfriend Jared. She complained to Jared, but at the same time she backed down and thought it was meaningless, because even her boyfriend thought she was taking care of her at first. The situation is exaggerated, and others will blame her more because of her skin color and gender. But in fact, when it comes to female occupational discrimination, Claire also discriminates against the female attending doctor in the emergency room, forcing the female doctor to ask her: Do you really not realize the problem? You are arguing against me in front of two nurses now, do you dare to do this to Melendez? I have spent my entire career dealing with men who refuse to accept my leadership, so why should women embarrass women. In the end, she bravely stood up, reported the sexually harassing doctor, publicly apologized to the female doctor, and of course, the most awesome thing was her response to the racist: yes, I have achieved some achievements, but I also fought hard. Take your life, step by step along the way, relying on these, I can stand in this position to save your life.

Jared Kalu

The heroic and enterprising handsome guy has a good family but lacks family warmth, so he chose the path of being a doctor by himself. It's a pity that he was fired because his girlfriend Claire threatened the sexually harassing doctor. Although he finally used his means to force the hospital to keep him, as the director said, you lost your kindness and integrity in this way, so this is for his Are you ready for the blackening in the back? Because as another intern Morgan said, even if the credit is given to you, you will not be recognized. In such an environment, can he, who is pure in heart, continue to persevere?

Shaun Murphy

In fact, Sean's learning ability is very good. After watching it slowly in one season, as the dean of the adoptive father said: This is your problem, you are very smart, you should use your common sense to understand other people's words, and you should find out what they really are It means to change the angle when things go differently than you expected. In the face of sarcasm or lying, he also begins to learn to tell the difference. There is also the team's attending doctor who let him enter the operating room from the second episode, and let him operate the scalpel in the seventh episode. Even in the last episode, Melendez chose Sean when he went to rescue other patients, which shows that Xiao En's business ability has been truly recognized by professionals. Even after the surgical error caused by learning that the old yard was suffering from a terminal illness, the entire team's debate actually took Sean as his own. In the final operation, Sean said that he came and did not want the director to take this responsibility. In fact, inadvertently, Sean became more and more humane. Of course, as the core of the team this season, as Melendez, he is still very handsome. Say that: everything that happens in this operating room is my responsibility, so let's do it together. And finally he warned the utilitarian female intern: At some point in your career, the patient will die at your hands, and I hope that when it happens, there will be a doctor who believes in you. This is where human nature is. Maybe in China, this kind of behavior of covering up medical malpractice of team members cannot be filmed unless it is reported, because there is a moral hazard, but have you ever thought that doctors are also human, and he also has his own body The mood fluctuates, and in the face of various surgeries, there is no guarantee that every judgment will be the best or successful. If you keep accusing them of Wei Guangzheng's moral banner, isn't it too unfair? ! So what Melendez said is not even for ordinary people to understand, but for a doctor to understand and trust you. Such a small request is already very humble. Of course, this cover-up is premised on the successful treatment of the patient!

Having said a lot, in fact, the best episode should be the climax of the emotional explosion between Sean and Dean's adoptive father, but I don't think it can be written, because if you haven't read the previous story, it's like a basketball game that only knows the result, The exciting part is the game process, so I can only say that Sean, who is autistic, is most afraid of having physical contact with others, but he actually took the initiative to hug the Dean!

Well, so be it.
