In Season 19, Link starts having these awful headaches. Like, “can’t-even-function” kind of headaches. A CT scan reveals a tumor, and suddenly, fans everywhere started panicking. Is this the end for the “nice guy” orthopedic surgeon? The one who’s basically a golden retriever in scrubs?
Here’s the twist: the tumor is benign. That’s the medical term for “scary but not deadly.” Link has surgery, recovers, and gets back to his adorable chaos. It’s a fake-out, a classic hospital show move—like when you think your Wi-Fi is down, but really, you just forgot to pay the bill.
