Tells the truth about so many doctors
There are many technically exceptional doctors and surgeons out there but as with many highly-educated, privileged professionals despite their immense academic intelligence they are often completely lacking in any emotional intelligence, particularly where vulnerable people outside their social class are involved. Hurt, who often excels at playing WASPy cold fish, is perfect as a highly capable doctor who is completely at home with his similarly supercilious colleagues, but lacks any understanding for anyone who isn't a brilliant medical practitioner.
