00:09I met Sean Murphy when he was 14 years old.
00:12Sean!
00:13Just act like a normal human being.
00:17He was and he still is an extraordinary young man.
00:24Autism.
00:26Difficulty in communicating.
00:27He's high-functioning. He's capable of living on his own.
00:31Difficulty in using language and abstract concepts.
00:42Does it sound like I'm describing a surgeon?
00:51He's breathing. He saved his life.
00:54Who are you?
00:54I'm Dr. Sean Murphy. I'm a surgical resident at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital.
01:01You thought that this board wouldn't have any doubts about hiring a surgeon diagnosed with autism?
01:06Justify your decision.
01:08He also has Savant Syndrome. Genius level skills in several areas.
01:15He sees things.
01:17It's his heart. Adam needs an echocardiogram.
01:19No, behave yourself or you'll be removed from the building.
01:21The echo is normal.
01:23Show them.
01:23And analyzes things in ways that we can't even begin to understand.
01:28Again?
01:31Again?
01:33There.
01:35Looks normal to me.
01:36It's not normal.
01:37This kid was sprayed with glass shards.
01:39What if a piece of glass erred his bloodstream?
01:41Blood could be leaking behind the heart.
01:44You were right.
01:48Why were you rude to me when we first met and now you want to be my friend?
01:52Which time was it that you were pretending?
01:55He's got a serious deficit.
01:57The child is alive today because of that deficit.
01:59Tomorrow one may be dead because of it.
02:02We hire Sean and we give hope to those people with limitations that those limitations are not what they think
02:09they are.
02:10That they do have a shot.
02:14Never forget.
02:16You're the smart one.
02:17You can do anything.
02:27You can do anything.
02:30You can do anything.
