Dr. Shaun will be meeting us shortly, as another episode of The Good Doctor is on its way. Last week, we’ve seen various types of cases, ranging from a simple surgical mistake gone way too wrong, to a trauma that causes one of the patients to question her life. We also witnessed the relationship between Dr. Jordan and Danny changing from just friends, to possibly, lovers.
The Good Doctors is originally inspired by Park-Jaebum‘s medical drama that goes by the same name. The role of Park Si-On on the show is played by Freddie Highmore, as Dr. Shaun Murphy, an exceptionally skilled autistic doctor. Set in the multi-specialty hospital, San Jose St. Bonaventure, this series includes the lives of various other characters that work there.
What first began as a single-season adaptation way back in 2017, continues to be a huge hit in the genre of medical dramas. The sixth installment to the show was seen earlier this year on October 3rd, 2022. With only two episodes left for the finale, The Good Doctor will soon end this season with an interesting development in Shaun.
The upcoming episode will feature both the new residents competing for better ratings by patients. These residents, Dr. Danica Powell and Dr. Daniel Perez are played by the actors Savannah Welch and Brandon Larracuente respectively. Reznick and Alex Park will be the focus this time as well. The role of Dr. Morgan is portrayed by Fiona Gubelmann and Alex’s is played by Will Yun Lee.
The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 8: Recap
In the 8th episode from last week, we see two new cases come into the hospital. One of them involved a patient complaining about a sharp pain in her abdomen, while the other was a woman who had physical trauma all over her body without any memory of how it happened.
Dr. Shaun works on the stomach patient and upon a closer look, he finds a surgical towel or sponge stuck inside between the organs. The towel had infected most of the organs and would be difficult to remove.
Dr. Shaun asks Dr. Lim for her view, but she was still mad at him for making her paralyzed, so she suggests he find a way on his own. He later stops by Dr. Glassman’s office and convinces him for the surgery.
The operation involves removing the uterus of the patient, but since Dr. Shaun didn’t want to make a mistake once again as he did with Dr. Lim, he proceeds only when there is no other way.
Dr. Morgan and others find out that Tony had not hit her head, but instead was physically assaulted after being drugged. They try to convince her to collect evidence, as it would help in her abuser going to jail.
Dr. Morgan recalls her traumatic abuse and wants Tony to not make the same mistake. We later see Shaun apologizing to Dr. Lim, while Dr. Jordan and Daniel confirm their feelings for each other.
The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 9: When Will It Release?
The next episode of this show starring Freddie Highmore will be released on December 12th, 2022. All-new episodes of The Good Doctor will be released by ABC once a week on Mondays.
The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 9: Upcoming Plot
In the upcoming episode, we’ll be seeing Dr. Shaun comes up with a new system, that would allow patients to rate their doctors based on their experiences with them. Although this seems like an easy way to know how the patients feel, it accidentally ends up becoming a competition for Danny and Danica, who became residents at the same time.
Meanwhile, Dr. Alex has been trying to mend his relationship with Reznick. In the previous episodes, we’ve seen that Alex offered to be the donor for Reznick’s decision to have a child, but she declines the offer. We’ll be seeing them again in episode 9, with Dr. Reznick doing more than she should have.
