Emergency NYC

It's so nice to watch a medical show that is 100% real and that focuses on many different members of the team - not just the doctors. Paramedics often don't get enough credit or exposure but they are a big part of this show.

As an Operating Room nurse myself I really could sympathize with the healthcare workers as you follow them along in their jobs. They are all so kind and you can tell they truly want to help others. I cried at points in every episode. It's such a good show. I hope a lot of people watch and understand a bit of what it's like to work in healthcare - a system that is so strained but everyone working in it is leaving their own family and loved ones to take care of strangers.

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.

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.

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!!!
