Ato Essandoh: Isidore Latham

Quotes 

• Dr. Isidore Latham : I have recently been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Asperger's.

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : [slightly confused]  Okay.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : I'm not revealing this to elicit sympathy from you, or as a means to justify my behavior. I simply feel it might be beneficial for you to know.

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : I think it might be.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : I am unable to discern whether you're being sarcastic or not. That's part of the disorder. It also makes it difficult for me to improvise from my set routine. I confess, I... I'm uneasy about the surgery we are about to perform. Can I rely on you to help me through it?

• Dr. Daniel Charles : You're saying you want to undergo a TMS treatment to prepare you to operate?

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Yes. I was going to talk to Dr. Weyland today, but she's unavailable.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Yeah, well, she would tell you the same thing that I'm about to, which is no.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Why not?

  Dr. Daniel Charles : You shouldn't do anything risky, let alone perform open-heart surgery. It would be derelict.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Tell me, then, what is the solution?

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Well, the solution is to realize that you don't have to carry all the weight on your shoulders. You have an excellent team. Rely on your team, rely on Connor.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : No, I can't. I see the world differently now. The sarcasm, the hidden agendas. Even when my window is closed, I know they're there. I have no one to rely on now but myself.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : I think you'll find that that's not the case.
