The 'I Am A Surgeon' meme originates from a high-tension scene in the medical drama The Good Doctor, where the protagonist Dr. Shaun Murphy (played by Freddie Highmore) has an emotional breakdown and repeatedly shouts the phrase at his superior, Dr. Han (played by Daniel Dae Kim). The scene gained massive traction on social media in 2023, particularly on TikTok and Twitter, where users juxtaposed Shaun's frantic shouting with Dr. Han's cold, stoic reaction. It is widely used to satirize emotional outbursts, over-the-top professional pride, or situations where one person is losing their cool while the other remains completely unfazed.
