Emergency NYC

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.

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.

With what have been and is happening in the world, it's easy to feel depressed. The series display the humanity in a raw way, between life and death, strangers and families, good days and bad days.

The show made me appreciate life, what I currently have and my belief that people are generally good. Feel so grateful, humble, and I have not cried so quickly into a documentary like this one.

Thank you to the producers and everyone that made this series happened, and especially thank you to all of you EMT medics, nurses, surgeons, doctors, specialists, and all hospital workers. You truly are the heroes.

It's a good documentary series, but the title is very misleading.

Without spoiling the series itself, i can say that it doesn't follow nearly as much emergencies as you would think. It's a follow up to the Lenox hill series on Netflix, with most doctors present here too. It has some emergency scenes but it mostly shows pre planed surgeries and the patients.

Don't get me wrong the series is absolutely great, although it does try to shove a bit of gun propaganda down your throat, but i can look past that. It shows a very tiny bit of reality for these people, mostly the best parts, and its incredible to watch and the fact that you get to experience just a small bit of their life is worth it alone. I recommend this series, but, it's not what the title suggests.

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.
