The Good Doctor fandom has never feared a heated argument, but recent fan theories reached a new extreme: what if the show was “banned” for medical inaccuracies, and the blame landed on Shaun Murphy’s experimental decisions instead of the writers?
In this alternate fandom narrative, viewers split into two brutal camps:
Team Lim:
-
Sharon leads the hospital, but LIM runs it.
-
Fans argue that Audrey Lim would never let medical errors reach broadcast-level embarrassment.
-
She calls out incompetence, enforces discipline, and doesn’t romanticize chaos.
-
According to this camp, Lim is the firewall between brilliance and disaster.
Team Shaun:
-
Rules slow medicine. Genius saves it.
-
Shaun supporters counter that innovation always looks like a mistake until it works.
-
They defend his judgment, claiming the hospital only survived its toughest years because someone dared to bend logic.
And right now? They’re not debating character arcs — they’re debating culpability for the franchise’s fictional downfall.
