History Series / TheGoodDoctor

* GoshDangIt: Being a show that airs on Disney-owned network ABC, profanity used on the show doesn't get any worse than "ass" and the occasional "bitch". There have been several times were "hell" and "damn" have been used in contexts where they most definitely would have been F-bombs if not for broadcast television standards. Shaun even considers "hell" and "damn" swear words, and suggests getting a swear jar after Lea says them both in front of Steve.

* IdenticalStranger: Shaun's plotline in "Point Three Percent" involves him treating a boy with terminal cancer who looks identical to his brother, Steve.

* LastNameBasis: Drs. Aaron Glassman, Marcus Andrews, Neil Melendez, Audrey Lim, Alex Park, Danica Powell, and Daniel Perez, as well as Chairwoman Allegra Aoki, are all more commonly referred to by their last names, even in casual conversation. They are also identified by their last names in the scripts, and on the [[UsefulNotes/ClosedCaptioning closed captions]] and UsefulNotes/AudioDescription (the latter of which was added in Season 4), while the other characters are identified by their first names. Nurse Dalisay Villanueva is also mostly referred to by her last name, except by Lim. The original draft script for the pilot also referred to Jessica Preston by her last name, though the show proper would use her first name.

* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:Melendez dies at the end of season 3, from injuries sustained in an earthquake. Also, in the second episode of the fourth season, nurse Deena Petringa dies from COVID-19.]]
