The Good Doctor (TV Series)

Pain (2018)

Ryan Robbins: Hunter

Quotes 

• Hunter : You know what the worst part is? It isn't being in the chair. Is that's people see the chair first. They don't see me. You know what I'm talking about.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Why would I know what you're talking about?

  Hunter : My brother-in-law's on the spectrum. So is my assistant. I make it a priority of hiring people with disabilities. Let me guess; when you first started working here, no one believed in you.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : They didn't know me. They didn't know that I was going to make a good surgeon.

  Hunter : No. You were different. I guarantee you every other doctor started with a basic level of respect. It's implied they're competent. We waste our time and energy trying to prove that we belong.

• Dr. Neil Melendez : [running a test a paraplegic patient]  What happened?

  Hunter : Pain just shot right down through my legs.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Your legs?

  Hunter : Yeah. I haven't felt anything below my chest in ten years. What the hell is going on?

• Dr. Neil Melendez : It's very rare, but after many years with a bruised cord like yours that isn't severed, it can start to function again.

  Cora : So, this mass is causing Hunter's pain?

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Yes.

  Hunter : If the cord is healthy, why aren't I feeling more than pain?

  Dr. Neil Melendez : The mass is compressing the healthy cord, just letting the pain through. We still have to do some more advanced imaging to map the mass, but I am fairly confident that if we removed it, that could change. You may be able to walk again.
