The 'I Am A Surgeon, Dr. Han!' meme originates from a high-tension scene in the medical drama The Good Doctor, where protagonist Dr. Shaun Murphy experiences a breakdown after being dismissed from his surgical residency by Dr. Jackson Han. The clip went viral on TikTok and Twitter in 2023, with users contrasting Shaun’s frantic, tearful outbursts against Dr. Han’s cold, unyielding stare. While the original scene was meant to be tragic, the internet transformed it into a template for depicting desperate pleas versus calm authority, often accompanied by 'sigma' edits or humorous captions where Shaun demands recognition for trivial achievements.
