Dang. Why is every doctor this guy is partnered with a massive douche other than the old one from the island?

It's not that unrealistic for a transplant specialist to have psychological issues. I don't think I could do it. You literally have to decide (albeit by a very numbers-based approach, but still...) who lives and who dies whenever an organ becomes available. Someone has died, and there are organs coming from that person; Those organs will determine the outcome of many other peoples' lives. You are charged with determining whose life changes and whose life ends. Could you bring yourself to terms with the idea that someone else dies because you elected to give the organ they needed to someone else?

I sometimes wonder if my kidney donor would think I am worth his life, or if the people who died waiting for the kidney I was given would think I am worth their deaths.

He's not being douche, he's just being logical. He's indeed lacking empathy tho. Well, meeting patients that either ends up dead or alive almost everyday, will probably impact his psychology...

 

[RangoBongo]

oh yeah, this dude would definitely pull the lever to save 5 people from a trolley

Laughed a bit. I absolutely disagree with Koto this time. You have to decide the value of life yourself. In fact, he seems to have decided the value on his own with his decision-making about choosing to save the life and doing the operations no matter how many times.

He could argue against the transplantation specialist just as coldly and logically; the platitudes were unnecessary to me, but it's part of his character, so whatevs.
