Just saw this episode and OMG! I need a hug after that. Every emotion hit me during this as i waited to see who survived. Still in bits now. This was television at its best, as it followed Dr Max Goodwin and his team. This is my favourite show. I was hooked from that first scene.

Saw the episode just now, and im at work, couldn't wait till i go back home, I started crying all over my work space!! One of the most heart breaking shows!! I just love it.

The second season of New Amsterdam includes in the very first episode one of the most powerful and wrenching twists of television ever experienced. The each episode of the whole next season is filled with hard-hitting, relevant emotional, ethical, and real medical issues currently found in hospitals in America along with possible practical solutions to keep Americans from dying. Most episodes include scenes hard to sit through because of the intense and delicate portrayal of many medical issues faced by the characters in the series and yet their resolutions beckon to be watched and experienced, encouraging audience members to come back for more. Except for two discontinuities, including one miraculous recovery from one episode to the next one, the medical drama series is nearly perfection in its delivery and as well written and performed as possible for its captivated audience. While this season continues to expand into more controversial topics, the many delicate issues exposed are powerfully expressed in a valuable way that television audiences can at least consider and reflect on. This series is a must see for anybody who has had confront the medical industry in one way or another, including one of the best portrayals of mental health based on 18 years of direct personal experience as a retired clinical social worker. Overall the first two seasons of New Amsterdam are both an indictment of the current medical industry but also an inside look at the human beings dedicated to helping others with compassion and integrity and many possible ways we as Americans can help.

The writers need to do more research. Insulin is not 5% of what Americans pay. Canadians do pay less, but not what the show's narrative states!
