The New Amsterdam trailer teased something about Max needing a throat biopsy, and it looks as though he's receiving just that. Lauren appears to be the one administering it.
Max is ultra interested in that ultrasound, isn't he? He could be supporting a patient, but he's really into it and he has a wedding band on his finger, so maybe that's his wife. Mazel Tov!
It's a scary sight when there is not one but two doctors by your bedside, right? Not to mention the fact that there is a worried husband by your side too. Hopefully, this woman is not receiving the worst news anyone could ever here.
Under most circumstances, no one wants to be under the watchful eye of anyone, but if you're in the hospital, Max is the guy you want in your corner. With him on your case, you're guaranteed quality care.
Max is the new medical director at New Amsterdam, and his outlook on how to best treat patients effectively may be a bit controversial for the others. He proposes a system that will have them healing as many people as they can before they're stopped, but what will the others have to say about that?
Lauren is getting the rundown on one of her patients so she can determine the best way to treat the person. Will Max's new approach to healthcare be a hindrance or a godsend for her?
Giving comfort without overstepping bounds is a balancing act for a psychiatrist. It looks like Iggy is trying to help one of his patients here, but knowing when and to what extent is always key.
It's not a medical series until you see a doctor or two racing down the hallways during an emergency. New Amsterdam is no exception. Of course, Max seems like the type of guy who will always be on the move if it means providing his patients with quality care.
Dr. Reynolds is on the scene and tending to a patient in need with his fellow colleague. If it's a matter of the heart, it could explain why he has the patient lying on their side.
Dr. Kapoor consults with his patient and speaks to the patient's loved ones about her condition. Whether or not it's good news or bad news can't be determined yet.
Max and Iggy have a chat in what appears to be a room for children. Will one of the many cases that flood the hospital have to do with a child with psychological needs that need to be met? We'll have to see!
When a new case comes into New Amsterdam, Max is determined to get to the bottom of what is making his patient ill. A man who preaches about healing the system would be exceptionally patient-oriented.
Max: Unlike the previous medical director, I actually expect you to practice medicine at this hospital because I don't know, that's your job. Helen: You're funny. Max: You said that. Helen: I'll tell you what, I'll continue giving speeches all over the world because you can't afford the type of publicity I give this hospital. And I'll continue my on-air appearances with Ellen, Oprah, and anyone else powerful enough to go by one name because someone has to remind New York that even though New Amsterdam is an underfunded public hospital, we can still go toe-to-toe with the privates from basic care to state of the art procedures. I will be back next week with lunch at the Tavern. My treat.
