Emergency NYC

Wonderful documentary which makes you feel humble and grateful.

It is engaging to watch doctors, nurses and paramedics do their incredible jobs and try to combine it with their family lifes. Some very emotional moments and some terrifying insights (nr. 1 cause of death for juveniles? Gun related incidents!!!).

The makers of this documentary have the gift to connect the visitor with all people in it, which makes it gripping and hard to resist.

Some events brings you to the edge of your seat. The main characters are nothing less than heroes working in the background most of their lives Filming them means putting them in a well deserved spotlight.

Well done and very much worth watching...

Okay - this is GOOD!!! Once you start watching - you can't stop! Every episode has something special - and they all have heart! It's really very good. I was surprised! And after that - I don't know what else to add - but it's a great series - big thumbs up! Again - I think the best part is there is just something rich and amazing in each and every episode - something will touch you. So now again - Okay - this is GOOD!!!

I didn't realize when I started this show that I would be finishing it the same day. I couldn't stop watching, it was fascinating and full of heart. I also figured it'd be sad but I wasn't aware that I'd be reaching for the tissues the whole time. Look, I know not every hospital is perfect and watching this might only show the best side of EMS and hospital frontliners. But I truly believe this docuseries does a great job at unveiling the heart and passion of why these frontline medical workers chose this career path. And the patients and patients' families are as real as it gets. Great show. Highly recommend, especially l if you want to spend a full day crying.

To me, this is really more about the healthcare workers than only the patients. Some of the reviews complained that this isn't an accurate picture of healthcare overall, and I'd say that it depends. This is very New York centric, so of course you're getting the best, but there are good and less good doctors everywhere. These doctors do honestly seem to be doing a great job handling really high caseloads and it isn't always possible to spend awhile with everyone. Maybe this show is more of a goal than the current reality.

I think that this would be a very different show, for example, if it were filmed in rural North Dakota.

I love this show as many others have also said. I love seeing / learning about all the staff and the patients. I sure hope there will be a season 2. I get invested in the staff's lives and love the 2 main doctors, the neurosurgeons. It's amazing the miracles they can perform that save people's life. And you see what kind of things / accidents happen to people every day. It really drives me nuts that IMBD review HAVE to be 500 characters. I just wanted to comment how much I like this show and wanted to recommend it for others who like reality shows and medical shows. It's the best of both worlds.
