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?

Isn't that the plot of the good doctor? (I have never watched it)
apex32@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 65d
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?
TheFlopster@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 65d
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?
chuckleslord@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 65d
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 🤷🏻
fibojoly@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 65d
You re thinking of Doogie Howser, M.D. perhaps?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 65d
Nah, that's from before my time but also stars NPH so I wouldn't confuse it with anything NOT starring Dr Horrible 😁

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.

The first step in an operation of this type is...
...to shave the patient.

"Aren't you going to help?"
"Well, I'm a doctor of archeology so I can't do much until after he dies."

Get your Ed D in education, anyone can get that with two years of easy work. Edited to call you Future Doctor.

"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."
