The Good Doctor: Season 6 – This season showed the aftermath of the attack, revealing Dr. Lim to be paralyzed. The season thus far has shown Dr. Lim struggling to navigate her condition as well as Dr. Shaun Murphy battling the idea that his surgical choices caused it.
The Good Doctor has remained loyal to its equilibrium between inside and outside the hospital by portraying the way the close relationship between Lim and Shaun has changed along with her ongoing recovery.
Lim is not in a good place during Season 6, lashing out at Shaun and even going so far as to say she would rather be dead than confined to a wheelchair. Her response does, however, highlight the vulnerability someone in her position feels by having Audrey project her frustration on the easiest target: Shaun.
It also creates dramatic tension because the choice Shaun made during Lim’s surgery is the same choice that Lim might have made herself.
