So, last
night, we checked out the new medical drama (I’ll be damned if I can’t get away
from the medical field even though I quit it almost a year ago.), New Amsterdam on NBC. We’d wanted to give it a go, but lost it in
the shuffle of life, so last night, I searched it on Putlocker to find it’s
already a couple episodes in.
The premise
centers around Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold), who becomes the medical director
of America’s oldest hospital in NYC, with eyes to shake up the establishment. Come to find out his sister was born and died
in that hospital, hence, his reason for wanting to work there. His first order of business is to FIRE
everybody who has the money over care mentality. His favorite question is: “How can I help you?
For those of
you who’ve followed us know I quit the medical field for that exact reason
after 18 years. Sure, I could’ve stayed
and collected a paycheck, lied to myself I was doing good, but I’d have to look
at myself in the mirror. When you don’t
like who you see in the mirror, it’s time to change.
Dr. Goodwin
sees the medical field’s broken, and when he gets a chance to change it, he
takes it. His wife also has a bun in the
oven, so he wants to be the best role model for his spawn. He has a third reason, but, if you check out
the show, you’ll find out.
Couple New Amsterdam with The
Good Doctor (damned, good medical shows), this season’s shaping up to
be a Niagara Falls season. Check ‘em out
Tues. NBC and Mon. ABC respectively.
Be good to
each other.
