I've never seen a medical drama that focuses so heavily on mental health. This is seriously needed.

[nowandaround]

It's weird watching this episode and listening to him talk about an ebola pandemic while I'm in COVID quarantine

[HysteriCool]

Doctor Mike, you should watch another episode! Also this show is based on a real person and he actually DID fire the entire cardiac department on his first day lol

[thelma]

Every New Amsterdam episode makes me cry.

[taeyonghasmejungshook]

You know when your a true doctor Mike fan when you start yelling CHEST COMPRESSIONS at the beginning even before he mentioned it.

[clarizamae]

I'm like 12 episodes into Season 1 of New Amsterdam and there hasn't been a single sex scene. This already makes it way better than Grey's Anatomy 😂😂🤣

[cerenelbay]

fun fact: the firing all of the cardiac department actually happened, the series is based on an actual person who did change a lot of things in Bellevue hospital :)

[zinaalabdaly]

This show is the most underrated medical drama, it is SO GOOD can't wait for season 3 🤩

[bribright]

I loved the part where they started putting masks on and he went "Is it malaria? TB? Ebola?" and the woman goes "We have a patient showing signs of Malaria, TB, or Ebola" XD Im dying

[Delsmarto]

Fun Fact: This show is actually based on a true story of Bellevue hospital. Obviously dramatised but the overarching plot of a Medical Director who turned around a hospital is true.

[BuckleyDiaz]

Maybe this show isn't perfect when it comes to medical stuff but this show is about caring, love, friendship, hope, fighting, .. I just love this show . It warms the heart in a strange way . One of my fav shows ever ❤️

[hayjeshwarlachhman]

New Amsterdam is the best medical drama I am addicted to it

[amyvanrijn]

My hospital has a Mcdonals. Oh the irony.

[rebeccasweeney]

Can you start ranking these shows based on how accurate they are? Like on a 1-5 scale.

I had a really awesome interaction with a patient yesterday when I acted as a human instead of as only the blood test lady. While checking the patient's details, I confirmed with her that she was an inpatient at a local psychiatric hospital. I recognised the hospital because I was a patient there too, and I casually mentioned to her I had been a patient there too. I asked her how it was since the renovation. She thanked me for being open about it because she had been really struggling with feelings of stigma and shame, and to have me, a random health professional casually mention I had been a patient there too had just helped with that stigma. Then we continued the conversation about stigma, the choice to tell friends, how lonely it is when friends don't understand and why it feels safer not to tell them. After I had taken her blood, I told her "I don't know if you need to be reminded of this, but it gets better" she nodded, and I continued "when I was there, I knew it could get better, but I was in so much pain I didn't think it would be worth it. I thought the amount of pain I am in right now isn't worth the effort it will take to get better, but I was wrong, it was worth it." Then I asked her if she would like a hug and gave her a big hug, rubbing her back and telling her "you have got this." She told me I had made her day, but she made my day too. It is moments like that where I love my job.

I became a fan of medical shows because of House. What I love about New Amsterdam is that one of the main characters is a psychologist. I find this form of medicine fascinating and very under-represented in medical entertainment. As a programmer, I think of surgery as hardware repair (swapping HDD or RAM) where psychology is like debugging software.

One of my patients (I treat their varicose ulcer) told me about a time they went to the hospital, it was a teaching hospital so the doctor brought some medical students with her.. The doctor asked the students what they saw, and they immediately went for the physical symptoms. Never acknowledging the patient as a human being, never saying hi, asking how the patient was doing, just seing a body with a problem.. This is a patient that is extremely nervous of doctors, it's so important to remember to be a fellow human.

I’m a nurse on a trauma/gen surg floor, and what you said about surgeons doing unnecessary procedures is spot on. We had a surgeon who only practiced at our hospital for a short time, but he was incredible at putting the patient first and doing what’s most conservative. He started treating small bowel obstructions with oral contract because it promotes peristalsis. It was incredible to watch these patients improve over a day or two vs being in the hospital for a week with bowel complications. We need more surgeons like that.

I know in so many of your videos you tell doctors to 'be human' and to be honest and treat the patient as a person, this is something I really appreciate.
A few years back I was diagnosed with what's called minimal change disease - a very rare kidney problem for someone my age at least (was 19 at the time) and it took four months to get the treatment I needed because the doctors kept brushing me off as a hysterical teenager who was only gaining weight 'like most people due when they turn twenty'.
The day I was admitted into the hospital, i had gone the day before because I was starting to have trouble breathing and this doctor found fluid in my lungs (I had accumulated so much excess fluid since my kidneys were storing the fluid instead of getting rid of it that there was nowhere else to put it but my lungs) but he still sent me home despite my protests. I came back the next day because I could no longer walk or feel my legs and had collapsed on the sidewalk. The same doctor saw me again and still brushed off my concern saying that I was 'fine' so the nurse who had been with me since I arrived called for another doctor. This Doctor arrived ten minutes after my dad (who was at work and got called when the ambulance picked me up) took one look at me, turned to my dad since he could see I was hysterical and told him; 'I'm not trying to scare you but we need to admit your daughter right now. I believe her organs are starting to shut down, she could be dying. At the very least her heart isn't circulating the blood to her legs which is why they're discoloured and she's not breathing properly. We need to start treating her for these problems while we find out what's really going on.'
This meant the word to me because he treated me as a person and actually started to treat me and saw that I was indeed a very sick woman and not just a hysterical teenager. He thought it was probably my kidneys and explained this to me before he did the biopsy to find out it was minimal change disease. He saved my life and was honest with me and my family from the start which I value so much.
Sorry that this is so long, but it just stuck with me and like you say, some doctors get so caught up in routine and fail to communicate with the patients and it can lead to situations like mine. So, having a doctor treat me like a human being and tell me what was going on - every step of the way really helped make it a lot less scary and gave me so much hope.
So thank you. Great job with the videos. Keep up the great work.

New Amsterdam is definitely one of the best medical series. Very well put together show, and a lot more realistic than most dramatic medical series.
