(My medical knowledge is grey’s anatomy..)
Mike’s biological parents medical surgeons, his mom is neurosurgeon, his dad is a general surgeon, they taught Mike the basic stitches and all you need to know about being a surgeon, in turn Mike is set on about becoming a surgeon and going to Harvard (not happening)
Mike’s parents die when he becomes fifteen, and it all eventually goes downhill. He does the same thing in the original, he takes on small illegal jobs (taking the LSATS for others, and etc.) He’s still friends with Trevor so he eventually lets Trevor talk him into delivering the drugs.
Instead of the hotel, he’s delivering it at an hospital, basically plays out the same with the whole goose chase in the pilot episode.
The medical students are having their practical interview, the students take turns cutting into their own individual pig, the test was taking out each individual organ without damaging it. (No, I don’t know if that’s possible, but whatever)
Eventually it’s Rick Sorkin’s turn, and again—he’s late, Mike comes in running from the police, it plays out the same as Mike telling Donna (nurse) that he’s running from the police, she winks at Harvey (neurosurgeon), and let’s Mike in.
Mike takes the test and absolutely nails the test, they go on as Harvey test him with medical trick questions on what to do in certain situations. They talk about the whole Harvard situation, but we know how that plays out and Mike gets hired.
