The Good Doctor

I love...

our married people plates so much. Don't you?

They have a pleasant heft and no rough surfaces.

No. Hmm.

You finished?

We should have a dinner party.

We have six smooth, beautiful married people plates.

We can invite Frank and Morgan.

That sounds not fun and like we might have fewer plates by the end.

What about Jordan and Asher? That could be fun.

But if we invite Asher and not Jerome, is that offensive?

Okay, best idea yet,

skip the dinner party, skip the awkwardness, see our friends at work.

I'll be ready in a minute.

It will be closer to four minutes, possibly five.

Both are acceptable.

Dr. LIM: I need the M&M report on my surgery.

And by your surgery, you mean?

The one Shaun performed on me.

The committee found no evidence that Shaun did anything wrong.

Inconclusive.

They decided the evidence was inconclusive.

I would like to do my own review.

Do you really think you can be impartial,

or will you just be searching for a reason to punish Shaun?

I don't know why I would,

unless something in the report suggests Dr. Murphy made a mistake.

I'll email you the file.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Mm. So brave, pretending not to be hurt

after your crush shot you down!

I asked Perez to drinks to be nice

because I was mean to him all day.

I do not have a crush. Yeah, whatever.

Sorry. Forgot these.

That was extraordinary.

I feel nothing.

Help me!

Cady Stinson, 24, history of bipolar and depressive disorder.

Came in with cuts, abrasions, and likely right distal radial fracture.

She jumped out of our car while it was moving.

They're kidnapping me!

Have five milligrams of haloperidol ready, in case.

Cady, you're safe. I'm Dr. Park.

I'm here to help. I need to examine your wrist, okay?

We were on our way to an inpatient psych facility.

She's so worked up because she doesn't want to go.

She hasn't even recognized us in at least two months.

No, no, no. Don't talk to them!

They're liars! Cady, Cady, Cady, please hold still.

You... You can't trust them. Please, please, Dr. Park.

No! No! Get that away from me! Cady, Cady, Cady.

Careful with the arm. No! No, no!

Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Radial artery's lacerated.

We need to get her to an OR.

This is Dr. Shaun Murphy, one of our surgical attendings.

This is Julianne.

She fractured her ankle falling off a curb.

The tibiotalar joint may be an issue.

I got dizzy from hypoglycemia.

Must've mistimed my insulin.

No idea how that happened.

Is it time to check my blood sugar?

No, not yet.

Oh, that is a very shiny wedding ring.

How long has it been, Dr. Murphy?

Lea and I have been married for three months

and seven days and 13 hours.

Wet cement year. Oh.

I wish I met more of my clients at that stage.

I'm a marital therapist.

And best-selling author,

host of one of my favorite podcasts,

and probably the reason why Jay-Z

and Beyonce are still together.

Full plantar and dorsiflexion

range of motion.

The first year of marriage is crucial

for cultivating good patterns and weeding out bad ones

before they can harden into habits

that will define your entire relationship.

What habits define your marriage?

I'm afraid all our habits are in the past.

My husband died recently.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

How long has he been gone?

A little over five months.

Is it time to check my blood sugar?

You asked her about a minute ago.

It was longer than that. No, it wasn't.

And I know, from your podcast,

your husband died several years ago.

You need surgery on your ankle,

but we should MRI your brain.

We've repaired the laceration to her radial artery,

but there's still a decision to be made

on treating her wrist fracture.

There's a choice between external or internal fixation.

The external fixator involves attaching a metal frame

to her forearm and hand.

It requires a longer stay

and frequent adjustments for eight to twelve weeks.

Internal gets Cady out of the hospital sooner,

but has a high risk of complications,

like nerve damage or infection.

Uh, I don't like the sound of those complications.

The treatment center will only hold her spot for a week.

What happens if they can't handle those adjustments?

I can reach out to them.

I... I... I'm not certain about sending Cady

away for treatment at this point.

She nearly killed herself rather than go to that place.

She's a danger to herself. She's a danger to others.

She needs more help than we can give her.

We'll leave you two alone to talk.

As Cady's mother, it's my decision.

Moira!

I love Cady like a daughter.

But if she comes home...

I'm not sure I can.

Please do the external fixator.

Thank you, doctors.

I gave Lim a copy of the M&M report today.

She was very insistent.

She come see you?

Not yet.

Uh, I'll clear out. Please stay.

I am interested in your opinion, as well.

Must be a real doozy of a case

if you called all of us, the chief included.

I am treating a 51-year-old woman

with a fractured ankle and a distorted sense of time.

It is too soon to tell if it is a doozy.

Now, we can begin.

Please describe all of the bad habits that developed

during the first year of your respective failed marriages.

Or good habits, if you had any.

So, we're all here because...

As an attending,

I no longer have time to talk

to you all individually,

so, I called a meeting

of the divorced.

Dr. Glassman, you have the most failed marriages.

Park's split-up was much more recent. You go first.

Well, that was a break-up,

not a divorce.

You and Dr. Reznick seemed pretty serious.

Um, don't get involved

with a pathologically ambitious narcissist and, uh...

be as emotionally open as possible,

which you're already great at.

Dr. ANDREWS: And that goes for everything.

Nothing is too small to discuss.

Except for the infinite number of differences of opinion.

And how do you know which ones don't matter?

Dr. Murphy, if you have concerns about your marriage,

talk to your wife.

Meeting adjourned.

Julianne's brain MRI.

Check out the parietal lobe.

Dr. Andrews!

You have a grade 2 oligodendroglioma

centered in your parietal lobe.

It's disturbing your precuneus

May I?

Looked at a lot of brains during my doctoral psych program.

It's close to the motor and primary sensory cortex.

We will need to map out

the critical structures of your brain

to determine a surgical approach.

There are risks,

but if we can get all of it,

the prognosis is excellent.

Or we could try to shrink the tumor

with chemo and radiation,

but there's an increased chance

the tumor will progress to a grade 4 glioma.

I want the surgery.

My life's work has been to help people find

what my husband and I had.

I'm not done yet.

That is... very good to hear.

This transcranial magnetic stimulation

will pinpoint the pathways of your motor cortex

and help us resect your brain tumor.

And this is my wife, Lea.

Hey. Lea, meet Julianne.

She is a marriage therapist

and told me to be careful of the habits we set.

Great to meet you, but under the circumstances...

Chatting with you two is much better

than contemplating those circumstances.

Stay.

I made a list of small habits

that could become larger problems.
