It seems like yesterday I was asking my family if they watched this show bc I had just started watching it. And now I’m in season 4 at the end. It’s just too good. I see why they said they stopped watching after the COVID stuff, bc I’ve not loved season 4 as much, but I do love the med cases none the less. At first the character annoyed me, but he really grew on me and I love his quirks and antics. If you ever seen rain man, you’ll understand why he reminds me of him.

Shaun guilt tripped lea into living with him when she clearly said no. And then the when it came to their actual relationship the only reason they even got together was because the earthquake happened. I just dont think they are that good of a match as everyone makes out.

I love the idea but I’m stuck on this one point. The hospital would’ve opened themselves to a huge ADA lawsuit for revoking Shaun’s employment based solely on his autism diagnosis.

I mean, he went to Med School and passed whatever boards he had to even submit an application right?

Dr. Andrews voices his objection openly to the board with any other reason besides Shaun’s autism. Dr. Melendez straight out says, “You don’t belong here.” That’s crazy!

Finally I have to say YouTube shorts are great marketing because it prompted me to give this series a chance.

I can imagine how the conversation would go with Dr. House.

Murphy: "I saved the patient. I deserve to get my old job back."

Dr. House (while looking at his papers): "Great, sounds like you're doing very well in pathology. Keep going."

Murphy: "Dr. House, you're making a mistake. I'm a surgeon, that's where I belong."

Dr. House (looking up at Murphy): "Mmm, nah. You seem like a better fit here."

Murphy: "No, I'm a surgeon.I'm not leaving your office until you reinstate me."

Dr.house(puts down his papers):"Now you sound like a third grader who didn't get what they wanted for Christmas. You want me to list what I want? I want a raise and a leg that doesn't hurt all the time. But we don't always get what we want in life. Now please leave. I'm very busy right now."

Murphy: "I am a surgeon. I am a surgeon."

Dr. House: "You're only proving I made the right decision with how childish you're behaving right now."

Murphy: I am a surgeon. I am a surgeon."

Dr. House:"Ok, can you please shut up now? I'm not running a day care here. Come back when you can speak to me like an adult."

Murphy: [Has his iconic "I am surgeon emotional meltdown]

Dr House: "And, we've officially reached levels of autism that are scientifically impossible. Sadly, I won't be getting a nobel prize for that. Now, I can have you forcibly dragged out of here by security, but you do realize that means I'm also gonna have to fire you. So I'm going to give one last chance to keep your job and leave my office. NOW."

Then it cuts to murphy in the locker room with his backpack.

In the episode some of the staff are affected by magic mushrooms accidentally added to potatoes at a pot luck lunch. Dr. Marcus thinks he’s Spider-Man and wants to climb a wall. Dr. Lim talks him out of it and the two start talking about the Spider-Man movies with Tobey Maguire. Kim says she hasn’t seen the new ones. This episode took place in 2022. Was she saying she hasn’t seen the movies with Andrew Garfield or Tom Hollander?
