In ABC’s medical drama “The Good Doctor,” Dr. Aaron Glassman, played by Richard Schiff, was a neurosurgeon at St. Bonaventure Hospital and had also been the head of the hospital for a number of years. When he met Shaun (Freddie Highmore) when Shaun was a young teen, he always believed in and supported Shaun’s skills, even though they had problems together because Shaun has autism and savant syndrome.
Glassman’s fight to get Shaun to work at the hospital was a big part of what made him unique. Even though Glassman got angry sometimes, he always cared deeply about Shaun because he thought Shaun was a great scientist with a unique view of the world.
But Glassman’s life took a terrible turn when he was told he had cancer. It got worse over time, so Glassman had to step down as president to make room for Dr. Marcus Andrews and become head of the center. In the series finale, “Goodbye,” Dr. Aaron Glassman’s journey came to an emotional end. Hie cancer comes back and turned into an aggressive growth called a glioblastoma.
What Happened to Dr. Aaron Glassman in The Good Doctor?
“The Good Doctor,” Dr. Aaron Glassman dies. Glassman, who had been fighting brain cancer, passes away, despite Shaun Murphy’s efforts to save him. In the season 1 end, Shaun found a miracle cure for Glassman’s cancer. This time, he accepts that there is no such thing in the world.
In the series finale episode of The Good Doctor’s season, Dr. Aaron Glassman, faces the last steps of his illness. As a result of a recent scan, he tells Lea that he only has three to six months to live. Glassman decides not to get any invasive treatment because he would rather spend his last days with his family and friends than go through painful procedures that might only slightly extend his life.
Even though Glassman knew what was going to happen, Shaun refused to give up hope. He was determined to find a way to save his master. Shaun’s unwavering drive showed how close they were, making their relationship more like that of a father and son. Glassman saw how hard Shaun was trying and finally begged him to accept his choice and spend his last days with his family and friends.
At the same time that Shaun was dealing with his hopelessness and desperation, Dr. Claire Browne got an illness that could kill her. Antonia Thomas played Browne, and she came back for the last two episodes. Claire came back to San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital from working as a doctor in Guatemala to get treatment for a lump that turned out to be breast cancer.
Shaun makes the sad decision to give Claire a treatment that hasn’t been tried before. He tells Claire about his plan to give her the experimental treatment without permission. He knows that what he is doing could have serious career effects, such as losing his medical license.
He says that he only needs to save Claire and not everyone else. This choice is made in the same hospital conference room where Glassman fought so hard in the pilot episode to get Shaun the job. This shows how their friendship goes full circle.
In a touching moment, Glassman, who knows he is dying soon, agrees with Shaun’s choice to go against the CDC and give Claire the experimental treatment. They both give Claire the bacteria through an IV in the hopes that it will save her life.
