Four years later, Glassman more or less said goodbye to that relationship dynamic. It was moving and inspiring, but at the same time, it did make me wonder what's in store for The Good Doctor Season 5.
It's clearly no longer about an Autistic resident learning how to manage the social aspects of his job, so is it going to become just another doctor show, focused on the new crop of residents while Shaun works on his relationship with Lea?
Andrews: Maybe we should wait a few more minutes to see if the lights come back on.Shaun: I do not think that's a good idea. I can feel the tumor under my fingers.Andrews: Good work, Dr. Murphy.[The lights come back on.]Shaun: I guess maybe we could have waited.
Since the 1970s patients' groups, and women's health groups in particular, have drawn attention to the deficiencies of the traditional medical model and its tendency to demean and disempower patients.3 The reaction of the early antipaternalists was to emphasise self education and self help as a way of redressing the power imbalance between doctors and patients and avoiding dependence on orthodox medicine. It is often forgotten that most healthcare is self care,4 but too often the manner of healthcare delivery serves to increase dependency and undermine coping skills. Nevertheless, despite the feminist critique, the practitioners of orthodox medicine remain as firmly on their pedestals as ever.
Patients' ratings of doctors' interpersonal skills are strongly related to trust. Most patients want to be able to trust the health professionals they consult, but this does not mean they want to be deceived about the nature of their illness or the risks and potential harms of medical intervention. Mechanic and Meyer asked American patients about what trust meant to them.11 Themes that were most commonly mentioned included honesty, openness, responsiveness, having one's best interests at heart, and willingness to be vulnerable without fear of being harmed. Trust is very important, but it does not equate to blind faith. Sick people need empathy, support, and reassurance, all essential features of a therapeutic relationship, but they also need honest information about their condition, options for treatment, and clinicians who listen to their concerns and preferences.
If doctors find it difficult to listen to patients, understand their preferences, and involve them in decisions about their care, they may need training in the competencies for shared decision making. A recent systematic review found 17 trials of training interventions designed to promote a more patient centred approach in clinical consultations.12 Most of these led to notable improvements in consultation processes and patient satisfaction. Those responsible for medical education would do well to take note.

Shaun walks towards them and tells them they are scaring him, as they say he is psychotic. Shaun says he doesn't like people touching him, as he calms down he says he's not psychotic he's autistic. Shaun cleans him up, and when he says he is done, the patient looks at Shaun and says he is the same as him. He wants his hands released, so when his parents arrive they release him hands. All he can say to them is "wrong stop!". When they ask what happen, he says Liam had a laceration to his head, probably a fall, he explains how he cleaned it. Liam says he "got lost!" and his mother is shocked that Shaun was his doctor. His father says the bright lights make him anxious and asks if they can take him home, Shaun says he is jaundice and tender when touching his and shouldn't go home. Jared talks to his patient, explaining how he got there. When asked asked how old Jared is he says 28, and that a pacemaker is being flown in later this afternoon and they will rep him for surgery then. Shaun explains to Melendez what is going on with Liam. He tells him to do an RCP to clear him, after that a few weeks of broad-spectrum antibiotics should take care of things. It's obvious by Shaun's face that he disagrees. Claire is at the Nurses' Station doing work and checks out a psych questionnaire and Shaun interrupts her, asking if she will help him with the RCP saying she is good with autistic people.
Jared tells Glen his pacemaker is there and will return when he is ready to put it in. Glen admits his wife didn't die, she left him and have her a good reason but Jared didn't get what he deserved like good parents who loved him; they were lucky to have him. Jared smiles and holds his hand briefly. Claire seems remarkably well adjusted, which concerns Dr. Mohan. She doesn't reach the requirement to be grounded from work, saying she is a strong woman but is she has suppressed feelings about this incident, she will needs to share them with someone, or they will eat her up. Jared returns to Glen's room with the gurney for surgery only to find his bed empty again. He does on the hunt for him again. Shaun arrives in Liam's room, but as soon as he says he is glad to be participating, Liam's pressure is bottoming out and he is going into septic shock. In the OR, Melendez quizzes the team, and they are told to to a full-length middle incision of the bowel to find where it is perforated. Melendez offers the scalpel to Shaun, who takes it, remembering when his brother gave him his toy scalpel. He does the incision and gives the time.
Jared sits with Glen, who signed a DNR. Glen shuts off the temporary pacemaker and Jared shuts off the alarms. He sits and asks Glen is he feels any anxiety, he says no but feels a little pain. Jared gives him some morphine to offset the pain. Glen puts his hand on Jared's shoulder and thanks him as he takes his last breath and Jared tears up. In the locker room, Jared walks in and tells Claire that his patient didn't want the pacer, that he was a good guy. Claire finally admits to him that she also lost a patient and agrees to talk to him about it; She rests her head on his shoulder. Liam's father watches over his son, Liam West, who wakes up with his mother by his side. Shaun says his surgery went well and will be able to walk around in 2 weeks when the antibiotics have cleared his infection. His father quickly wants to dim the lights but suddenly stops and asks Liam if the lights are okay and he says they are. Shaun smiles as he sees Liam and his parents together. Aaron and Shaun are watching football, while Aaron is trying to teach Shaun about online banking and budgeting. They are cheering for the game when suddenly Shaun wants to go to the Superbowl; Aaron says that is something he needs to remember when he is budgeting, then says they should both go. Suddenly, the salesperson from the store informs them that is it almost closing time and they need to go. Shaun says he would like to but this TV and the guy says they could stay as long as they want; they recline their chairs and chill out.
