What If Second Opinion Is Worse Than First Opinion?

Dr. Glassman was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer and Dr. Murphy was devastated and can't concentrate at the operating room. Dr. Murphy tried so hard to help by doing a thorough research using medical textbooks, board works (defining moment in finding solution using mathematical equation, calculus, physics, chemistry, etc), using all his knowledge and understanding to find out how  he can do the operation to save Dr. Glassman's life. In all these mind boggling finding he was also busy looking for his scalpel, the toy scalpel given to him by his brother. Later on he asked for Dr. Glassman to have a second opinion which turned out the worst thing that ever happened.

THE GOOD DOCTORs

 Instead of two years of life span, it turned out that the cancer stricken doctor had only few months (3 months) to live not years. Looking at Dr. Murphy's facial reaction which is somewhat "blank face" seemed not worried about what he heard on second opinion. I think he is more worried about the missing scalpel. I was worried too because you know who wont be? (True to life case: There are non-autistic medical practitioners who accidentally left medical instruments in patient's abdomen due to negligence or confusion). He was not in a panic mode but he was able to keep to himself about that scalpel which later in the end was found to be in his bag all along. What a reliever! He can do the surgery for Dr. Glassman and he discovered something profound that ends the season finale.

Now, can we all sleep now that an autistic person like Dr. Murphy has other better things to do.
