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.

The biggest mistake the writers made on this show was the way they ruined this couple for no reason. Max had the best chemistry with her BY FAR compared to his other love interests. It just made no sense to do that.

What happened in the end anyway, I stopped watching when she left.

yes, he chose Wilder, but then he leaves her to go overseas working for WHO. Then, it jumps to Luna being the Medical Director and pretty much entering the scene similar to how he did.

[@Czadzikable]

This is so ridiculously unrealistic and breaks all sorts of ethics codes and policies - no way the hospital would allow a partner to be in the operating room for procedures like this or to resuscitate their partner. There are good reason why family member or close friends shouldn't be each other's doctors. 🤦‍♀

[@Lina-cw5fc]

Wait a minute... a TV show is unrealistic? 🤯*EXPLOSION NOISE* Woah.. repeat that for me again? 🤯🤯 Do you seriously mean that a TV show isn't realistic? 🤯 *DOUBLE EXPLOSION NOISES* 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I thought this was entirely accurate every time I watched, not just an over-dramatized show!! 🤯🤯🤯

[@draxgaming8901]

When I worked as a medical scribe for a surgeon there was one time when a woman's husband was actually in the operating room during the procedure, he was a doctor in the hospital and wanted to be there for the procedure I've only seen or heard of it happening twice.

[@chrisels9736]

I think it’s allowed as long as the hospitals head is ok with it, doesn’t happen often tho but it does happen

Netflix only released 3 series in Australia. Where are the rest?

[@ET-uc6nw]

Max crazy ideas to change hospital systems so ridiculous 😂

[@justcallmejessz3712]

Are there any doctors in the comment section available to break this down for us? Is multi organ surgery the first option in this case? I know I'm missing alot of context as this is a 10-minute clip, but it seems like rushing into very big procedures without considering other options. Is the surgery to remove the clots done laproscopic? Can they suction them out? Can't they inject clots with TPA and just monitor extremely close for anything moving into a "911, cut her open now"? Kinda like the one that moved to the lungs?

[@angikarzukhina1252]

Ok so nurse here, surgery would be done laparoscopically for the arteries they can reach. I’m not sure why they would automatically do a hysterectomy (maybe they can’t reach the arteries??) The whole reason why they don’t wanna do TPA/other clot busters is because if it doesn’t work, they’ll have to rush her to surgery and cut her open - which is a HUGE risk for her bleeding out considering the admin of TPA.

[@zohabaig6426]

Med student here, I've never heard of multi organ surgery for DIC. Normally we'd transfuse platelets if necessary, combined with thrombolytics and supportive care and treating the underlying source. Flushing out the toxin and busting the clots would be the priority

[@AngelFace787]

Nurse here. I think what they were trying to show us here is how deadly DIC is especially when there were so many organs affected. I mean five surgeries plus a hysterectomy is a bit much. However, it was because of who she was. We would have gone to anti-thrombolytics (it was too late for TPA), and platelets as needed. The risk she took with busting the clots is not a risk that we would have taken at a real hospital. Because the risk of a clot breaking loose could cause a catastrophe, like how it went to the lungs and they rushed to get it out by embolectomy, but there were so many that one still got to her brain. That is why Max did not want to do that. Surgery is invasive, but at least it wouldn't have risked Pulmonary embolism, stroke or heart attack. Looking at how bad her legs were, I mean she had DVTs everywhere. You shouldn't even be moving with that many clots.

[@crystalsherman8896]

A roofie did all of that?!

[@junewilliams4752]

[@fionaokeefe1906]

Couldn’t they just give her blood thinners! Surgery should always be the last resort! Plus he shouldn’t be her doctor being romantically involved with her, that clouds the judgment!

[@jequeline]

They missed a perfect ending, max should've moved and went to her

[@slider954]

Why did the bartender roofie all of the docs?

[@miranda27895]

Because of Covid. He thought it was just a bad cold and thought the doctors and nurses were just scaring everyone for nothing, his business got shut down and was struggling during the lockdown. He hated how first responders were looked at as heroes.

[@DravenGal]

Tsk, no "Clear!" before using the defib! Inexcusable!

Dude if I could have a hysterectomy I would be all for it except the scar and the fact that you can get heart problems afterwards as someone with PCOS and chronic Lyme disease I’ve known i was never going to have kids since the age of 12 except the scar and the fact that you can get heart problems afterwards.

[@heathercontois4501]

Why heart problems?

[@amandajackson668]

@@heathercontois4501 I believe it has to do with the fluctuation of hormones.

[@heathercontois4501]

@@amandajackson668 That makes sense since post menopausal women have a raised risk of heart problems.

[@mwandikay]

Same here, if I could have a hysterectomy tomorrow, I'd do it. I'm not worried about the scar. But there are risks to consider...

[@Bl00Buttons]

Generally, the risk for heart problems comes from having an oophorectomy, not a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is removal of the uterus, while oophorectomy is removal of one or both ovaries. Ovary removal would mean your body wouldn't be making the estrogen it needs anymore, and you'd need hormone replacement therapy unless you want the risk of serious illness to skyrocket even more.

[@m1n2b3v4c5x6z7able]

Doctor who?

[@alicemarshall1827]

My mom suffered Thu an entire year of vaginal bleeding years after going Thu menopause. She had finally had enough and went to a Dr to find out what was wrong and she found out she had ovarian cancer that had progressed to stage 4 and the only option she had left was a hysterectomy, so at almost 60 years old she had to get all of her vaginal women organs taken out. At that point in her life she didn't care cuz she had already gone Thu menopause and didn't plan on having any other kids that late in life.

[@hailieh485]

It's more than just knowing that God is real. To be saved from your sins you must choose to believe on God's only son Jesus Christ. He is the only way to eternal life and a life of peace here on earth. Our sins separate all of us from God and the only way to have our sins forgiven is through what Jesus did when he died on the cross and rose again. Admit your a sinner, be willing to turn from your sins (repent). and choose to believe on Jesus. He is the Son of the one true God, He died and rose again to pay for your sins. and aks him to forgive your sins and be your savior. He will. "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" Romans 6:23 " For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God not of works lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 It's a free gift. Choose Jesus because NO ONE makes it to heaven on their own and he loves you.
