The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 17 Recap: In Monday’s episode of The Good Doctor, a seemingly small error made by Dr. Glassman has left viewers concerned about the return of his brain cancer. In this post, we’ll recap the events that unfolded and discuss the potential implications for the character.
During the episode, attending surgeon Shaun confronted former peer-turned-pupil Jared about his suturing technique. Their patient, who had undergone brain surgery, received eight sutures and suffered a small post-op bleed. Shaun believed that Jared should have used ten sutures, but Dr. Kalu defended himself, saying it was Dr. Glassman who handled them.
If Jared wasn’t lying, which seems to be the case, Glassman made a rookie mistake – one that a world-class neurosurgeon would never make. This, coupled with the ominous score playing as the camera focused on Shaun, leads us to assume the worst – the return of Glassman’s brain cancer.
In the penultimate Season 1 episode, Glassman first faced a cancer scare. He was initially diagnosed with an aggressive, likely terminal, form of brain cancer. However, a subsequent biopsy revealed a low-grade glioma treated in Season 2 with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Since then, Glassman has been in remission.
Despite his clean bill of health in recent seasons, Glassman has faced his fair share of tragedies. He lost his daughter Maddie to an overdose, saw the end of his first marriage, experienced a failed relationship with Debbie, and had his home destroyed by fire.
With the title of the next new episode airing on Monday, April 3 being “The Blip,” we can only hope that Glassman’s post-op oversight was just a one-time mistake. However, viewers can’t help but worry about what this could mean for Richard Schiff’s character.
