The Good Doctor Character Analysis

I consider the genre of the book to be an autobiography. The academic conversation that the book is contributing is the idea that there is an afterlife from a neurosurgeon’s point of view. For example, in the ‘Anchor to Life’ chapter, Eben states “As much as I’d grown up wanting to believe in God and Heaven and an afterlife, my decades in the rigorous scientific world of academic neurosurgery had profoundly called into question how such things could exist.” This is ironic because him being in a coma changes his theory. Eben starts the book off with his pain which is the title of his first chapter.

Sherman Alexie’s mother and father are both indians. His mother is a Spokane indian, and his father from the Coeur d’Alene tribe.

After this experience, 10 more personalities were discovered to be inhabiting Oxnam’s brain (Weber).

As Collinsdictionary.com defines, mental disability is a general handicap, resulting directly or indirectly from injury to the brain or from abnormal neurological development. Charlie was a mentally disabled adult who faced many challenges throughout his life, which impacted him in spelling, grammar, memory, ability to make friends, and much more. In Daniel Keyes’s science fiction short story, “Flowers for Algernon,” Charlie Gordon should not have had the operations to increase his IQ. After getting the surgery, many positive aspects of his life disappeared, and shortly after, caused his life to take a turn down the wrong road. Charlie before he had the surgery was much better than his life afterwards.

It can be assumed that no individual will do well in every subject or area in life. Writing is a skill that many fail to possess. It is not only a form of entertainment but also the art of persuasion.

He reported that he was profane, fitful, and other things that his family and coworkers already knew to be true. From the report it seems as if the damage in Gage’s brain was in his prefrontal lobe in the left hemisphere and maybe in the right too. His report was very significant due to the fact that it aligned with other neurological reports about the relationship between the brain and personality. Almost a decade later, Harlow’s reports helped to confirm Ferrier’s findings in that damage to the prefrontal cortex could result in personality changes (Costandi, 2006). Today, we still do not know much more about the prefrontal cortex and frontal lobe than what Harlow, Ferrier, and other neurologists at that time were able to discover.

Of the five million people who receive CT scans for head injuries, over ninety percent of them are CT negative, which cause them to receive harmful radiation and unnecessary procedural and absorbent costs. As an alternative, BrainScope Company, which is a privately held neurotechnology company, focuses on traumatic brain injury. It uses a medical technology that incorporates an off the shelf Android device and a proprietary disposable electrode headset. What this piece of equipment does is it collects and records the brains electrical activity and other vital patient specific data. What this new and improved form of technology does is utilizes a classification algorithm that is created from sophisticated signal processing methods from a database of injured and non-injured patients.

It is through investigating different sides of the stories will you truly be aware of the biases in what you see. After years of studying cochlear implants, I notice the one-sided story that media shares. Although cochlear implants are a great invention, there are negatives that are not shown. The media does not show what happens to the children growing up after they first hear. It does not show the child not fitting into a hearing or deaf society because it does not fit the media’s agenda.
