Whereas Shaun spent his workday making an attempt to avoid wasting a lady’s life, Lim spent hers making an attempt to show he was responsible for her paralysis.
The Good Physician Season 6 Episode 3 continues to be caught on this ridiculous battle.
And to make issues worse, Lim not solely ended her friendship with Shaun however implied that she’d fairly be useless than in a wheelchair. Double ugh!
Lim has each proper to grieve the lack of her means to make use of her legs. It is a important change for her, and she or he’s annoyed and saddened by it.
That is nice, however there is no motive for her to dig for proof that Shaun did one thing to trigger it.
The M & M report steered that the surgical procedure led to some type of drawback together with her blood vessels, which then precipitated paralysis.
Okay, nice. How does she know that she would not have had the identical drawback if Shaun had adopted Glassman’s suggestion?
She would not. No person does as a result of it did not occur that manner, and Shaun is a handy goal for her anger.
Do you actually suppose you might be neutral? Or are you simply searching for a motive to punish Shawn?
Andrews
Andrews was proper: Lim was searching for a motive to punish Shaun.
The very fact is that there’s one particular person responsible for her paralysis: the man who stabbed her. No stabbing would have meant no life-saving surgical procedure, no want for a split-second resolution, and no paralysis.
How about directing a few of her ire towards that particular person as an alternative of the one who saved her life?
Whereas it is comprehensible that Lim is upset about her paralysis, her therapy of Shaun would not make her sympathetic.
She appears ungrateful and decided to show that the physician who saved her life is the villain of her story.
Her angle that Shaun saving her life would not matter as a result of she’s paralyzed additionally borders on ableism, and that is a disgrace contemplating how a lot work The Good Physician has put into making an attempt to finish prejudice towards invisible disabilities like Autism.
Some folks will not vaccinate their youngsters towards measles as a result of they suppose the shot causes Autism. It would not, however that is inappropriate. These mother and father are saying that they’d fairly their little one have a presumably deadly illness than be Autistic.
The Good Physician stands towards that angle, but in some way thinks it is okay for Lim to say she’d fairly be useless than stay her life in a wheelchair.
Lim has to regulate to life in a wheelchair (until Shaun comes up with a miraculous treatment for her situation!), and till she figures it out, her high quality of life might be impacted.
Once more, it’s very nice that she wants time to cope with that. However implying that life in a wheelchair is worse than loss of life goes too far.
It is also okay for her to set boundaries. Shaun wastes an excessive amount of time asking everybody for recommendation about his relationship with Lea. And if she wants area, she wants area.
However she communicated her boundaries in such a hurtful method, particularly since Shaun would not perceive social guidelines all that properly and would not know what he did flawed.
Plus, this got here on the tail finish of an entire hour of her harassing Glassman into agreeing together with her.
What a waste of everybody’s time!
Shaun’s insistence that his affected person had a tumor wasn’t a lot better.
He mentioned after Julianna died that she had a tumor that may have killed her inside six months, so I assume they discovered one thing throughout the post-mortem.
However Shaun’s major motive for believing the affected person had a second tumor was that she believed she noticed the afterlife when she crashed and wanted to be resuscitated.
Scans did not present proof of a tumor, and there was no clarification for the way she knew what had occurred whereas she was crashing beneath anesthesia if it was all a tumor-related hallucination.
Shaun’s perception in that tumor took as a lot religion, if no more, than Julianna’s perception that she noticed her husband within the afterlife. It did not look like sufficient of a motive for a second surgical procedure. When she crashed a second time, I puzzled if she would have survived had she not agreed to surgical procedure.
Her feedback to Shaun earlier than she went beneath made it look like she anticipated to die and was at peace with it. She most likely was trying ahead to reuniting together with her husband.
Julianna’s recommendation led to yet one more foolish Shaun/Lea battle that is not value dwelling on. As standard, Shaun was irritated with how Lea did issues, Lea tried to accommodate him, and after an argument, he agreed to let her do chores her manner.
Park and Powell’s case was attention-grabbing.
For essentially the most half, it depicted extreme psychological sickness realistically, together with Katie’s mom and stepfather almost splitting up due to the stress of coping with her situation.
Park discovering extreme hydrocephalus was a novel twist, particularly because the surgical procedure threatened to depart Katie unconscious for a very long time.
I really like Katie like a daughter, but when she comes residence, I do not know if I can.
Man
Powell launched Katie’s restraints with out permission from her attending. Not like Lim, Park did not make a federal case out of it despite the fact that he had much more motive to be upset.
(As a aspect notice, Lim may wish to chat with Powell about dwelling with a bodily incapacity since Powell has a prosthetic leg and walks with a limp. Whereas it isn’t the identical as a wheelchair, perhaps Powell might supply assist and assets.)
Powell redeemed herself, although, by getting Katie’s mom to provide her husband a second probability. Katie’s restoration was on the miraculous aspect, however we would have liked a feel-good story, so I will take it.
