What would happen if the doctor himself happened to be the patient?There are many aspects to this issue. For example, does the hospital allow a doctor to be admitted to the medical team who is seriously ill or even bluntly not social?Also, when a doctor is "critically ill," can he perform his duties as a doctor better?And, at a time when the doctor-patient relationship is a little serious, what is the significance and value of such an assumption?The domestic medical drama "Extraordinary Doctor", directed by the famous director Lu Chuan and starring Zhang Wanyi and others, took these questions as a premise and threw them in front of the audience. 
Its protagonist is called Chen Hui (played by Zhang Wanyi), a medical genius suffering from Asperger's disease. The so-called Asperger's syndrome, which is commonly referred to as the "genius disease", is essentially an autism. People who suffer from this disease usually have extraordinary talents in a certain field. But the accompanying problem is also obvious, that is, people suffering from this disease basically have no social skills, to put it bluntly, they are not good at communicating, their ability to empathize with others is very poor, and they cannot understand the difficulties and pain of others at all. Realizing the premise of "Extraordinary Doctor", Director Lu Chuan's intention could not be more obvious:At a time when modern medical care is increasingly pursuing process and procedure, how should doctors and patients eliminate the barriers between cold instruments?Doctors are also mortalsAlthough the name is "Extraordinary Doctor", in fact, the doctors in this drama are all ordinary people. The so-called ordinary people mean that there are advantages and defects, and there will be struggles, frustrations and other choices due to the seven emotions and six desires, and it is precisely because of this pre-setting that the doctors in "Extraordinary Doctors" have the premise of empathizing with patients, can feel the pain of patients, and can also understand the difficulties of their families. 
For example, in the stories of the previous episodes, the role of Wang Yaoqing is the story of Luo Haitao. He is first and foremost the father of a 17-year-old child who suffered liver damage in a car accident and needed 30 hours to find a suitable liver for transplantation before he could get out of danger. But Luo Haitao, as the only father with a liver match, refused to transplant because since she divorced her ex-wife, she has refused to let Luo Haitao see her son. This makes the audience think that in his consciousness, this child has no more emotional relationship with himself. So we see that he is trying to bribe the doctor, with a refined egoist face, to instill a deep sense of disgust in the audience. 
But Pan Wenbin, the dean played by Mr. Wang Zhifei, told Chen Hui: We have to look at the family from the perspective of the family to understand why they made such a decision. So the plot turned to Chen Hui's perspective and asked him to follow Luo Haitao to a ** event, only to find that his second wife was waiting for delivery in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the same hospital. It was only at this time that we understood: it was not that he was unwilling to donate his liver, but that the timing was too inappropriate. The primary purpose of this reversal is, of course, to create a suspenseful effect to attract the curiosity of the audience. But its greater role lies in using a more realistic sense of substitution to give the audience the opportunity to understand the characters' choices and difficulties. This kind of operation seems to deprive the audience of God's perspective, but in fact, it allows the audience, as an outsider, to put away their pride and prejudices and look at the problems they see with a more humanistic attitude. To put it bluntly, it just wants to tell the audience not to judge the rights and wrongs of others from the moral high ground just by relying on one or two clips they have glimpsed, after all, the truth of the matter is not something that the eyes can see clearly. 
Plot settings like this are more often used for the protagonists of the group of doctors. For example, He Tong, played by Zheng Yunlong, was confident and calm at first, but when Luo Haitao had a sudden accident after donating his liver, he was so frightened that he was caught off guard, and once suspected that he had killed the other party by improper operation. The fear of him hiding in the corner, and the panic when facing Luo Haitao's second wife, who couldn't speak completely, let the audience see the helpless moment when the doctor was also panicked. The reason why Luo Haitao's death and He Tong's panic are juxtaposed in the first three episodes is that Lu Chuan wants to emphasize the theme to the audience in "Extraordinary Doctor":Everyone has their own limitations and dilemmas, and both patients and doctors have to face this problem head-on in order to better solve the problem. After clarifying this point, "The Extraordinary Doctor" will turn most of the shots to the surgeon in the next plot, showing the doctor's face in a group portrait. For example, He Tong mentioned earlier, Yuan Ye played by Jiang Peiyao, Wang Kai, an old fritter doctor played by Yang Haoyu, Doctor Bai, a confidant eldest sister played by Lu Xiaolin, and Director Liu played by Liu Zhenwei, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, etc. 
Each of these doctors has their own temperament and temperament, so they have their own shortcomings and dilemmas. It is because it allows us to see the joys, sorrows, sorrows, sorrows, sorrows and fears of doctors that are no different from ordinary people, that we have the opportunity to understand their pain and difficulties, and it is easier for the audience to be deeply moved when they try to get close to the "extraordinary". To put it bluntly, that's what it wantsIt shows the sparkle of the doctor when he breaks through the limitations and approaches the extraordinary. Humanitarian common senseBack to the role of Chen Hui, the setting of "Extraordinary Doctor" is even more so. Its limitations come from the tragic death of her sister in childhood. It is precisely for this reason that he made up his mind to be an excellent doctor and not let his sister's tragedy repeat itself. But it's clear that any viewer knows that his determination will definitely not be realized. So as soon as he arrived at the hospital, he participated in Luo Haitao's liver donation case, and as a result, he faced the end of his life and death. The reason why Director Lu Chuan wants to put this cruel reality at the forefront of the whole series, in addition to the intention of the previous statement, is also to let the audience understand a common-sense question: doctors are definitely not omnipotent!
This is a matter of common sense, and both doctors and patients must face life and death in awe. More importantly, doctors and patients need to establish a more effective communication mechanism in this process – which is why Chen Hui was chosen as the main characterThe director is using his emotional obstacles and the gradual transformation in the later stage to let the audience build a mutual understanding and humanitarian care between doctors and patients. Humanistic care in conventional themes has always been director Lu Chuan's strength. As he recalled in an interview, Mr. Situ Zhaodun said something that left a deep impression on him during class: ".What is a play, a play is about people's feelings. Therefore, in Lu Chuan's works, in addition to professionalism, social concern and humanistic feelings are also elements that have never been absent. 
Since 1999, after "Black Hole" was directed by Guan Hu and starring Chen Daoming and others, people not only realized Lu Chuan's screenwriting talent, but also were impressed by his humanistic appeal behind the crime story, that is, how much damage power and money can cause to society when it is not controlled. In other words, so far, no domestic film and television work has reached the height of "Black Hole" on the issue of a certain second generation. 
After the TV series "Black Hole" written by Lu Chuan, in "Ke Ke Xili", he wants to talk about the question of faith and life. "Looking for a Gun" interprets the survival dilemma and psychological world of ordinary people from a highly realistic perspective. To "Nanjing!".Nanjing!He focused on the torture and suffering experienced by women in this grand war. After that, although Kaihua Temple transformed into a commercial direction, Lu Chuan still did not give up the favor of humanistic care. For example, in "The King's Feast", he boldly and profoundly dissects the taboos of traditional Chinese culture and concepts, and the damage they cause to human nature. But this kind of humanistic care may not be effective every time, for example, "Nine-Story Demon Tower" is a failure. 
It was not until this time that "Extraordinary Doctor", adapted from the Korean version of "The Good Doctor" and the American drama "Good Doctor", once again showed his ability to control humanistic care. He narrowed down the legend of the protagonist in the original work, and instead used a more ordinary and ordinary perspective to show the limitations and dilemmas faced by both doctors and patients. Therefore, in this series, the doctors' medical skills are not the focus, but whether they can empathize with the patients and whether they can put themselves in the patients' shoes is the focus. 
Only when doctors empathize with the pain of patients like Chen Hui can they better demonstrate their medical skills and ethics. This is certainly an ideal, but it is also what we lack the most.
