So, for those who haven't seen it
(so far, S01 22 episodes+ 4 ep's)

New Amsterdam is like
NYC's Belleview hospital
(ie oldest in the City?)

Series starts on first day of new
Hospital Director's tenure there.

He FIRES the Heart Surgeons, for
maximizing profit, that than who
actually needs surgery…

You can see where this is going.

Any1 who watches lotsa TED-talks
will recognize ideas proposed in
medicine, community development,
education, etc.

PAY WALL: NBC's YouTube channel,
for the series charges ~US$ 3 to
view each episode, but has lotsa
short highlight videos, as well.

Any1 see any serious applications
for this type of [Utopian?] show?

What'cha think?

  errm, cos it started off OK but went downhill REALLY fast? Maybe they should have come up with cure for overdosing on political correctness and 'diversity'.

    Does anyone read more than the first few lines of ivis comments? Or get sick of it and have a crack at his mkultra spec writing without even reading the whole thing.

    Poll

    0+ No, I do not read the whole thing, it hurts my head
    0+ No, I do not read the whole thing, it hurts my head, but I do enjoy making a funny comment about his mkultra affected writing style.
