Let me say something selfish. I personally feel that there will be no medical dramas that can surpass "Doctor House" in the future. It is not in terms of medical technology, but refers to the personality: Uncle House is perfect (his flaws) Is also part of his perfection), which means there will be no more interesting doctors than him.
As an audience who has watched the entire eight seasons of "Doctor House" still has no idea of medical knowledge, the focus is naturally on the story and the characters- now, David Shaw, the hero who built the "Uncle House" in one hand, has done it. A new medical drama, called "the youth version of "Doctor House"" by some media, but in fact the protagonist is differently portrayed. The starring role is Freddie Haimer who is transformed into an autistic patient , enough to arouse me Attention.
At present, this American drama "Good Doctor" , which is adapted from the Korean drama of the same name, has been released in three episodes. To be honest, the performance has exceeded my expectations and it is getting better and better. It is worth watching.
[Reminder: There will be a lot of spoilers next. 】
First episode
The drama is "first-timer" as soon as it comes up.
The silent young man went out step by step, and when he was at the airport, an accident happened unexpectedly when an 8-year-old boy was hit by a glass...
The young man pointed out the mistake made by the emergency doctor, and then made it clear: I am a surgical resident at St. Bonaventure's Hospital in San Jose, Sean Murphy .
The technique of showing Sean's "textbook" memory and medical knowledge is quite up-to-date, with layers of detailed anatomy, quite a bit of "Sherlock".
After discovering that the situation was not optimistic and must be dealt with immediately, Sean decided to find tools for on-site surgery.
At this time, his "special" is even more obvious: Sean could not communicate accurately with the airport guards, did not say that he wanted to save people, but just asked for a knife...Normal people would not agree to his strange and unreasonable request, and then He just took the knife and left...
Fortunately, when he was thrown down by the guards, Sean had already arrived at the first aid scene. Here is the moment to witness the miracle~
Using common tools such as a knife, a wine bottle, and a plastic tube, Sean made a simple and easy-to-use one-way valve to help the boy regain his breathing.
In the presence of passers-by, he saved the child's life. Xiao En's behavior received waves of applause. He was also filmed and sent to the tubing. This also gave him a chance to get a job.
On the way to escort the child to the hospital, Sean also showed extremely keen insight. He noticed a slight drop in his heart rate, and then came up with a suggestion to do a cardiac ultrasound.
With the help of the almost "striking" speculation, the doctors finally saved the critical patient.
While Shaun rescued the boy, another fierce debate was also unfolding in the hospital.
"Zhengfang" is Dean Aaron Glassman, who proposed to bring Sean, a patient with autism, into the team of surgeons, " He is a high-functioning autistic patient, and he can take care of himself in life... He also has scholars. It is far superior to ordinary people in many aspects , superior in skills, and spatial intelligence. The angle of observation and analysis of things is different from ordinary people."
"Anti-party" Marcus Andrews is the director of the reasons for his equally well, people with autism have communication barriers, language barriers and understanding of the disorder, "outside the general practitioner to know how to communicate, not only provide information, but also a Compassion and empathy. "If you recruit such an unstable person, something will happen sooner or later.
In front of all the directors and shareholders of the hospital, Aaron argued for Sean alone, with eloquence and eloquence.
In his opinion, giving Sean an opportunity is also equivalent to giving all people with physical and psychological limitations an opportunity, which is of great significance.
The reason why Aaron is so convinced of this young man is that since Sean was 14 years old, he has been witnessing his growth-and through two memories of Sean's youth, we also know his past experience.
The psychologically flawed Sean was not understood by the school and his parents. After his father fell his rabbit to death, his younger brother took Sean away in anger and led a hard independent life as a minor.
Life, economy, hope...have already become a "human spirit" The younger brother gave Sean all this, but an accident caused his younger brother to fall into serious injury and died in the end.
Aaron accompanied Sean through two moments of losing his beloved ones. He empathized with Sean's unforgettable motives and motivation, plus what he saw and heard that he had been with him and grew up since then. He believes that Sean, this special child, has an unlimited future.
Surgery doctor Melendez also persuaded him not to use emotions, and Aaron still insisted that " it is because of emotions that we can do better. "
Facing the unfavorable situation in front of him, Aaron finally resorted to a "big killer": bet on his position and personally protect Sean .
At the same time, Xiao En, with the potential to save lives, spoke a heartfelt and touching remark in front of everyone, which touched everyone— anyone could see it, he said this "big truth" The truth is true, and I believe it firmly.
If House's point of view is witty cynicism, then Sean's point of view is sincere Jincheng.
Although placed in the current environment, the basic setting of "Good Doctor" is somewhat "left" and the taste of chicken soup, but it cannot be denied that it does have the potential to impress people.
Of course, it is not so easy for Sean to successfully join the company. For example, when his colleague Claire changed his attitude several times, Sean couldn't understand: "The first time was fierce, the second time was good, and the third time I wanted to be friends with me, which time did you pretend to be?"
The first difficulty that Sean has to face is the warm and cold relationship between ordinary people and the cold world. In his relatively independent world, these are all ignorant.
In addition, it was Melendez's undisguised rejection of him by his boss, and he bluntly said that Sean "does not belong here" and would not give him any chance... Sean had something to say: You are excellent, but you are very conceited. .
Sean Murphy wants to "fight" against the entire environment. People who don’t understand him, people with prejudice, all are his potential enemies... But Sean has never been hostile to this environment, because he The starting point is to save the dead and heal the wounded and make the world a better place.
Episode two
The performance of the first episode of "Good Doctor" is fair, but it is not too amazing. The next few episodes will become more important. From the actual situation, it is very gratifying.
Regardless of whether there are many "awkward scenes", at least it is quite interesting.
Sean’s first “problem” after he went to work on the first day was that he did not know the severity of his speech. In the face of frightened patients, he always spoke out the worst theoretically without hesitation.
It is impotence again, and it is also a malignant tumor. For those who are really seriously ill, it is good to say that some people who are not sick are afraid that they will be scared to get sick...
Melendez, who couldn't understand Sean, ordered immediately, don't follow me today, just have Claire and Jared, you can concentrate on doing miscellaneous things.
I thought it would be irritating to Sean, but didn't want this young man who didn't even understand "wearing small shoes". After replied that "arrogant people don't lie, so you want to teach me things", he happily went away.
However, don't think that Sean, who spends time waiting for patients to fart, is not a troublesome ... In his eyes, patients may have problems, so various examinations can be made, and many unnecessary tests have been done.
Melendez turned around and asked the guilty question. Nurse Fred on one side was obviously a little gloat. After being questioned, she said something meaningful: " Doctors never listen to nurses, and only scold them when they make mistakes. "
The enlightened Melendez made a "best of both worlds" decision-let the experienced nurse Fred be the leader of Sean on this day.
However, it is the gold that always shines. Even if Melendez sends out errands, Sean can still make brave words and deeds under his own understanding - such as threatening to smash the window to remind test reports...
While ensuring the basic logic of the narrative, "Good Medicine" also does not forget to show the protagonist Sean's eclectic and non-taboo in a timely manner.
For example, after learning about the actual difficulty of removing the patient's tumor, which can only be done blindly, Xiao En angled admirably and suggested that "cutting off a healthy waist of her can get a good line of sight".
Even if Sean did not personally participate in the operation in the end, his idea still succeeded in providing a solution.
Xiao En has both knowledge and ideas. What he really urgently needs to learn now is how to deal with people correctly and effectively: not giving patients a clear response will only make them more worried.
As the Aaron who brought Sean into the industry, he had to make an extra small stove to teach him to explain.
OK, I get it. Sean immediately learned from one another and ran to the patient’s house in the middle of the night-the little girl Martina had a stomachache during the day, and she had two parents who quarreled a lot. From everyone’s point of view, the little girl’s actual problem lies with the parents. Arranged to be discharged immediately, but Sean has not ruled out the possibility of her intestinal rotation malrotation .
So, Sean, who kept in mind the "speak clearly" rule, went into the private house in the middle of the night, and had to make sure that Martina was safe and sound before he would give up.
Fortunately, he was right again. As he arrived in time, Sean immediately mobilized the parents to send the child to the hospital, and cleverly spared Nurse Fred to arrange the operation.
Excluding the element of luck, this diagnosis and treatment can really see the growth of Sean. He is very smart and learns very quickly in terms of humanity and sophistication. Although he lacks sleekness and sophistication, he is better than being able to hold the bottom line of principles and have time. Returning to the basics that exists all the time.
Finally, it was "heart-warming time." With Aaron's encouragement, Sean, who didn't want to take credit, walked into the ward of Martina's family.
This lesson is called " Welcome to the applause and respect you deserve ", and those who get the credit don't have to do chores.
Of course, the hospital is also unavoidable from intrigue and ulterior motives : Marcus ordered Melendez to accept Sean as a surgeon. On the surface, it helped Sean, but in fact it also increased Sean’s mistakes in disguise. Opportunity- I am a benefactor if he does a good job, I can pull the dean down if he doesn't do it well .
Aaron exposed Marcus's careful thoughts, but he was not afraid, because he had faith in Sean, so uncut and jade, able to withstand arbitrary carvings.
Episode Three
After watching this episode, I felt that my evaluation of the show should be further adjusted. Although I have long understood that "good medical dramas are by no means limited to saving people", I really see the show showing this. I was still excited when it came to this quality.
The suspense in this episode is not saving people on the operating table, but Sean and Claire racing against time to transfer a liver.
On the tense journey, Claire was about to be driven mad by Sean who couldn’t communicate effectively (I’m going crazy too)... But after constant summarization, Claire finally found the correct way to chat with Sean: don’t ask questions, just state directly. .
Sean, who has a keen sense of "pao Ding Jie Niu", also performed an open-air operation on the liver to remove the clot on the way.
In the words of the police escorting them: This is worse than giving birth in my car.
The struggle at the small level is just a race against time, while the struggle at the large level is against the rules.
Chuck, who had been waiting for a liver transplant for half a year, couldn’t help drinking a glass of champagne three days ago because of her daughter’s academic success. The rules broke, but the actual physical condition can still be transplanted. Melendez argued with the hospital’s senior officials for this. However, if an illegal transplant is discovered, it is very likely that the hospital will lose its privileges in the transplant center. Only Aaron supports him...
In the end, Chuck lost the opportunity to transplant his liver. After all, it’s the patient who violated the rules first, and everything should be done according to the rules...
In stark contrast is the hospital’s VIP client Vannamek . He is a real estate tycoon. He lives in the VIP ward with the best conditions and is surrounded by escorts for a long time. There are Marcus and Melendez. A good doctor performs surgery, um, he can also help realize tax relief for the foundation.
When Marcus asked him if he smoked illegally, Melendez denied it like Chuck, but he held up his cigar grandiosely after the operation.
"Good Doctor" does not explicitly say nor criticizes this potential injustice. It just gives Jinghong a glimpse of deep thought...
The liver, which was finally sent to the hospital, was taken away in an instant. For everyone, this seemed to be a failure, except for Sean——
Not only did he remember the name of the original owner of the liver, he also firmly believed that it could still save a person's life, even though he was not Chuck.
Sean's autism may have caused some inconvenience and troubles to the people around him, and at the same time, his innocence also sent a different kind of light to the originally bleak reality.
Sean’s further contact with and acceptance of reality is also reflected in his two conversations with his neighbor Leah, as well as his several contacts with the wild cats. Discover the behavior of feeding cats, this detail is great).
As more clues and characters spread out, the story of "The Good Doctor" has gradually improved.
Freddie Haimer
Frankly speaking, half of the reason I watched the new drama "The Good Doctor" was due to starring Freddie Haimer .
In my impression, he became famous from "Looking for Neverland". As a child star, Freddy starred in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Arthur and His Mini Kingdom" and other movies one after another.
And his performance in "The Good Doctor" now is closer to the image of the music prodigy "August" in another movie I like very much, "Sound Dreams and Romance" ("August Lost Love").
Although Freddy's work has not paid much attention since then (and "Bates Hotel" has not been watched), but I always remember this very spiritual little boy, in addition to acting, he is also active on the front line of directors.
It is difficult to play a genius with autism, but not easy to say. This kind of role tests the basic skills, and it is easier to contribute obvious acting skills after a long time. It should be said that Freddy's performance is really good.
At the end of the first episode, when Sean Murphy said with tears in his eyes that he wanted to be a doctor, I decided to watch the show.
Although "Good Doctor" didn't give me extra surprises, it was better than a solid foundation and excellent quality. I look forward to the future story.
