It was adorable when Shaun threatened to throw a rock through the window when he had a tough time getting Carly to give him a patient's labs! I truly love how Shaun's past still influences his life today and is still such a strong component of who he is and who he is becoming. I also love how Steve's story will continue.
While "Mount Rushmore" was not at all a bad episode, it certainly did not uphold the quality of the show's previous. As we are still in the "getting to know you stage," I can except it to move slow for a little while. I am still enjoying how everyone is slowly being developed.
Shaun faces even more struggles in "Mount Rushmore." When he struggles to find someone willing to mentor him, he is forced to sit on the sidelines. He is also struggling with his bedside manner and his ability to completely relinquish some things that bother him. But Shaun isn't the only one in the wrong.
When Shaun arrives late to his first day of work, Dr. Melendez is not afraid to call him out on it. But Shaun attests that it wasn't his fault . . . the bus was at fault. I loved this scene and I must admit that I cracked up a bit.
Dr. Melendez is also not impressed by Shaun's willingness to order crazy expensive tests, and due to this, he assigns him to Nurse Fryday to look after him treating patients in the ER. This proves rather interesting.
When a woman named Stephanie comes to the hospital, we learn she has a tumor. The tumor is in a difficult place and the tests were inconclusive. Shaun comes up with an idea for how to tackle this, but neglects from sharing with Dr. Melendez.
Dr. Kalu, though incredibly hot, is clearly that one person in every work environment that everyone cannot stand . . . you know . . . the one person who is not afraid to take all the credit for himself, not caring about anyone else but himself and his career in the process. I sympathize for Shaun when Dr. Kalu took credit for one of his ideas.
Shaun, however, did claim a victory when he was able to scrub in to save a patient who had more than just a stomach ache. Shaun was, of course, influenced by Steve's lesson about selling himself and convincing people to listen to him. Although he didn't get to do the whole surgery from top-to-bottom, if it wasn't for his willingness, the patient might not have survived. I absolutely love how much Steve continues to influence Shaun's decision even far after his death. It really is touching to see.
I said it before, I will say it again, I truly feel for Shaun after his idea was stolen. I can only imagine how often he has been underestimated and taken advantage of and how often it will continue to happen. If Steve were still alive, I have a feeling he would stand up for him. The only one left for Shaun that is close to what Steve was is Dr. Glassman, and even that is a stretch.
"Mount Rushmore" was a pretty enjoyable episode of "The Good Doctor," but I am bothered by the continued hospital politics. I am hoping for more medicine next time and less office politics. Time will only tell!
I give "Mount Rushmore" an 8.3/10. Keep up the good work!
