ABOUT NEW AMSTERDAM
In the wake of the ambulance crash that ended Season 1, medical director Dr. Max Goodwin grieves the death of his wife, Georgia, and learns the difficulties of being a single parent - all the while continuing his commitment to solve systemic health care issues at the hospital. Add in his new responsibilities as a father and with cancer still lingering in the rearview mirror, everyone around Max must wonder how long he can sustain this impossible load. But "How can I help?" is not just Max's catchphrase, it's his reason for living. As long as he's helping others, Max is able to find hope in the most hopeless of places. The cast includes Ryan Eggold, Janet Montgomery, Freema Agyeman and Jocko Sims, with Tyler Labine and Anupam Kher.

I also fought in Afghanistan to, and I lost my best friend to an explosion. And when that explosion went off I lost my leg and my left arm. And I am still trying to recover from that traumatic experience to this day. And watching this short video really spoke to how I feel today.

[@PamelaHurd-hq7pl]

I'm so sorry 😞please hang in there, ur not alone, my daughter died October 4th My spouse died October 16th COVID I had a dream last night I got to hug my daughter with everything I had 😢😢❤ Ur not alone❤ Prayers ur way!

[@PamelaHurd-hq7pl]

I have a new different phone and can't get the settings straight 😒 If I don't reply back I'm so sorry 🤝🙏💜💜

[@skill.issue.]

I hope you recover, continue fighting your trauma your friend was good one maybe even the best!

[@lmccahill45]

I am so sorry that our government failed you and your comrads. My grandfather was in ww2 and he wouldn't go to the beach with us and I will never know for sure but I feel like it was because he was in the navy and in the battle in Normandy. Our government always seems to make sure to fail people who fight for us. I will keep fighting for improvements.

[@skill.issue.]

@@lmccahill45 Reading this it could be but US, FR and UK did also land other ways like in italy and also could be the escape of dunkrik i dont know what your grandfather origin but if its UK it could be dunkrik or Like you said Normandy But also hope you have great day

[@vitricewashington6510]

The doctor telling the psychologist he should have chosen a different play made no sense. The only way to heal from trauma is to face it. And doing that through things like music, reading, talking and sharing with others, feeling that pain over and seeing it a different way, are all great ways to deal with trauma. If you don't acknowledge the pain, it stays with you, and it hurts worse.

[@Jitterbuck]

The whole point that you see in the end is that Dr Kapoor reacted so personally and badly to it is because he has unresolved trauma from his time in the Indian Army as well

[@zerozeroyoutube]

My grandfather was in the Vietnam war, he was diagnosed with PTSD 50 years later after the war, and this episode made me feel like I was hearing his words. Love my grandfather, always will.❤

[@stephenking5852]

50 years? Doesn’t PTSD usually come immediately after the traumatic event?

[@zerozeroyoutube]

@@stephenking5852 It does but back then he wasn’t showing signs of PTSD that were the ‘normal’ at the time. With a more understanding of PTSD nowadays, he was diagnosed now.

[@patrickmaloy5262]

I worked in a top flight university medical center with some of the brightest medical professionals. After working with patients all day, they'd drive home, watch House, and then discuss it the next day amongst themselves. That speaks rheems about the quality of the writing on the program.

[@Schnipps]

This isn't House btw

[@rajhang2]

Love Anupam kher and Iggy role and esp. That Hindi lines

[@ReSunDestin]

I got this recommended from a House clip and kept waiting for someone to get sick or something, thinking it was one too

[@Sniperboy5551]

The writing is on par with House, just not quite as good

[@awesomeanime8533]

I did as well but I think I was expecting House to show up at the hospital before I saw the KZbin Channel.

[@Sniperboy5551]

Beautifully written episode

[@miranda13c]

This was a good episode.

[@sallymoen7932]

Yes. Now I want to go read this play by Sophocles

[@BigT2664]

😢

[@Official.WolfieEquine]

My father who wasn’t in Afghanistan but he has ptsd from arrack the sounds just when hears stuff like that he freaks out

[@Sniperboy5551]

Iraq*

[@Official.WolfieEquine]

@@Sniperboy5551 yeah thanks for the correction

[@MrArcadia2009]

You can't force a man to release his own pain. I'm the first to say "I don't know what it means to be a soldier" I wasn't in a war. My father was, he fought in Vietnam, and died young at home. I understand why he would choose a play, but at the same time, it seemed somewhat immoral.

[@DymondzSecretGardenCorner]

Not all vets get benefits

[@CallieCatCuddles]

Which ones don't?

[@Schnipps]

@@CallieCatCuddles Many of the ones living on the streets and ones struggling to pay their bills.

[@CallieCatCuddles]

@Schnipps Then those vets need to be tracked down, brought in for help, and get them what they need to no longer be on the streets. I don't know of any homeless vets, only the ones I see when I go in to the military hospital for medical appointments. It's not that I don't think that there aren't any, it's that I think there's a breakdown in the system that needs to be fixed, because the military is all for helping all those in the military family. At least they have been in the last 50 years that I've been part of it. Yes, there are problems every now and then, but helping vets has always been the goal.

[@tubewearwolf]

just stay away from the VA if you can. if you know, you know..

[@Sniperboy5551]

I’ve heard from some vets that it’s not as bad these days, but I doubt they deal with mental health very well

[@machopi]

and then they all hugged a tree and sung kumbaya until dawn clowns

[@employee962]

Ok mr billy big bollocks hard man. People cope in different ways.

[@ZexenXhaos]

You can't stand when people get over trauma, huh? Just makes your blood boil?

[@kyleOWillFixIt]

I literally don't give a crap about the politics of it. I know there's a political hot button in saying this, but it has nothing to do with my personal opinion. Saying "sharing your/my/their truth" makes me instantly dislike you. First off here's THE truth. If something is true it's true, it's not MY truth or YOUR truth it's THE truth or it's not. Second it just sounds like you are being pretentious. Everyone who ever says that thinks they are the smartest person in the room. It's not something you ever hear a normal, likeable person say. Its always some tryhard who lives on the Internet.

[@vvoof2601]

Congrats? Want a cookie?

[@ajc-ff5cm]

No-one cares! Have a nice day!
