Shaun says that Lea has been a good friend.

He sits down and apologizes for avoiding her. After the long shift is over, Shaun finds Lea waiting for him outside. Reznick confronts him and in her usual bitchy way, tells Shaun that Lea (and Claire) don’t look at him as a real man, they look at him as a “cute little pet.” And when Shaun says that Lea kissed him, Reznick calls it a “pity kiss.” Seriously, Reznick? You suck. While working in the E.R., Shaun has been trying to avoid Lea’s calls. But alas, Shaun calls her and she has to rush back to the hospital for the patient in E.R. Later, she gets out of jail and makes out with the prosecutor-you go, Dr. When she goes to traffic court for a speeding ticket, she butts heads with the judge, and ends up in jail. It seems our bad ass surgeon likes motorcycles, and she likes them fast. Lim is having an adventure of her own-in court. Shaun finally realizes that the patient also has a “dropped foot” and has something called an “epidural abscess with pelvic distention.” He’s going to need surgery or he could be paralyzed. They treat him and send him home, but he comes back later, the erection still there. It works, with a little help from the sister who punches the boy in the jaw, breaking the glass, because he’s too afraid to bite down.Īnother patient presents with an interesting problem-his erection won’t go away. Shaun finally gets the idea to wrap the bulb in surgical cloth, which can’t be cut even with a scalpel, and then bust the glass. Perplexed, Shaun and Reznick try to figure out how to get it out without busting the glass and hurting the boy. One patient is a young boy who stuck a lightbulb in his mouth and now he can’t get it back out. But all of a sudden these two who normally have all the ideas, can’t figure out how to treat their patients. Lim is heading home (not really) and she instructs them to prove that they can handle this themselves. Shaun and Reznick have been delegated to a 36 hour shift in the E.R. Instead of reporting the nurse and Claire to Andrews, Melendez praises them, and they in turn praise him. He wants to know what went on in the O.R. After a 20+ hour surgery, the woman makes it through, and then Andrews calls the team in. In the end, Claire decides that the woman’s life is worth more than the dream, and she tells Melendez to go with the hysterectomy. And the scary thing is, you know it happens it real life. I would not want to be the patient on the table while these guys are bickering with each other. All this while they’re supposed to be saving this woman. So when she brings it up in the O.R., Melendez makes light of it, which angers a nurse on the team, who lets Melendez have it. Andrews basically blew her off when she mentioned her concerns about long shifts. The surgeons are all irritable, and Claire is flustered because Dr. While all this is going on, tensions have risen in the O.R. Claire presses her husband for a decision, but he is emotionally unable to decide, so he puts it on Claire, he wants her to make the decision for his wife. Her biggest dream is to be a mother, but once the surgeons are in they find so many lesions and so much damage that they only have two choices: a full hysterectomy or a procedure that is very risky and could kill her. In what was one of the longest and most interrupted surgeries we’ve seen on the show to date (seriously, they scrubbed in and out so many times I lost count), the patient has endometriosis and lots of it. Well, except that he can’t get any sleep with all the monitors and nurses, visits from Shaun-and a shocking visit from someone else, but we’ll get to that a little later. Glassman’s surgery was a success! He will still need chemo, but for now he’s doing okay. Shaun is a happy camper-and for good reason, Dr. The surgeons are all irritable during a long shift in Season 2 Episode 3 of The Good Doctor.
