They Will Beat You With Work Experience

What will you do if you are Dr. Glassman, the neurologist, the brain surgeon and the President of the Hospital where you worked for so many years then suddenly when all the members of the board in your hospital is against accepting an autistic savant like Shaun Murphy? Okay, that was done, Murphy was then accepted after all the tests were accomplished and because he saved a boy's life in the very first pilot episode of THE GOOD DOCTOR. Next, Dr. Glssman acts as mentor to autistic Shaun Murphy played by Freddie Highmore. They are buddy-buddy, they eat pancakes together in the hospital canteen and they shared common knowledge as if they are father and son team. Then Dr. Glassman was diagnosed with brain tumor. For whatever reason that Murphy was so curious about his ailment that he wants to help him and save him from dying. His affection towards the surgeon is more than of a doctor trying to give his buddy with much love, care and attention. Instead it's another brain surgeon who did the operation and it was a success. However, Dr. Glassman is showing some form of hallucination due to the medication he was taking (turned out he was not taking those pills). Dr. Murphy tested Dr. Glassman pertaining his memory skills on the many stuff in his home. Dr. Glassman was put to the test, one by one  Shaun asked who gave him the couch, the lampshade, etc. then he asked Dr, Glassman what's the name of his brother and the surgeon was reluctant to reply and Shaun repeated the question again. Dr. Glassman answered, "Sam."

I first thought he is Sam too. Yeah, ang sama mo Shaun Murphy. You don't believe your friend. How he was able to visit you at your new home in a new address?   But Shaun said his brother's name was Steve. Who cares? It doesn't mean that Dr. Glassman is crazy or the operation on his brain is unsuccessful. Sometimes, autistic people can be very annoying. Pag pasensyahan.

There are too many reasons why some good hardworking people are out of job it's because they put them out of work so that the rank and file has its movement. Young workers influx, moving to the next rank or being promoted. Who must stay at work in a workplace?

The retirement age is 65 years old, mandatory for some business establishments. While other workers are forced to retire on early retirement settlement. Why? Would you like being force to retire at age 50? There must be something wrong? First, could be health or medical condition when the worker is disabled to do the job. Showing signs of dementia. Being forgetful? How many times? Depends on how many times you forget something (is it deliberate, intentional, on purpose with a motive?) To forget a forcep or any medical instrument inside the abdomen of a patient or leaving gauze inside the patient's abdomen after the operation that's a different story. Is that the fault of the head surgeon or his assistant or the nurse? How many old people working in Canada and America even in Europe? You can work until you have the energy to do the work and if you own the business establishment. In Dr. Glassman's case, he probably have to retire as a brain surgeon but he should still work as the president of the hospital because his wit and intelligence to advice and make things right for the company is still intact. How old is he anyway? Is his decision making flawless or sort of pain for many doctors who are after his executive position in the hospital? is there a power of greed? More work less pay? The missing equal opportunity? Is that kind of problematic faulty situation happening also in the Government? fault of the "higher ups" being blamed to the subordinates?

In other business establishments, some employers preferred to hire retired persons to manage their business. Why? Because old people are reliable, responsible,  respectful of the rights of others and their work experience is much better than other workers. Their work ethics were then harnessed, flourished and polished through times. They are like old wines. They are good at hands-on passing the experience to younger workers. You will learn from old workers in terms of the value of hardwork, industry, skills,  courtesy, patience and perseverance.
