New York : Au cœur de l'urgence

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...

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.

Watched it all in one night. It was nothing short of incredible to watch these medical teams not only save lives, but also the life flight crews and EMT's. Not only do we see some of the doctors and nurses personal lives but they also follow two medical team members that are pregnant and due soon. This was filmed during what I think was the tail end of the pandemic. So yes, it's mentioned some but not anywhere near as much as a year before would have been. A real twist was when one of their own has an injury that could kill someone. Gun violence is also highlighted, as many people are brought to the ER with gunshot wounds. I don't agree that the series was politicized because this is mentioned and that's because these were all true stories. It's not scripted. We are right in the middle of the action in the ER and in the operating rooms for this series. I thought the whole thing was very well done. It gets a 10 from me.

This is a masterful series about hospital and related workers including ambulance medics, doctors, nurses and everyone else taking care of emergency patients in New York.

These are the real celebrities who should be lauded not ignorant overpaid footballers or drugged up so called movie stars etc.

The series gives an intense look into the lives and work of personnel in the front line of saving our lives.

I was engrossed by the first 4 or 5 episodes and i only skimmed over the remaining parts as I try to avoid hospitals and recently had some emergency treatment, so I do not like being reminded of what it is like being a patient!

The highlight is the birth of children especially the one involving Caesarian delivery. Will bring people to tears of joy!

Those not in the USA like myself may be puzzled though due to the fact for years we have heard stories about the high cost of medical care in the States; so how is all this work paid for and by whom?

No answers given anywhere...

Despite that a high rating is deserved=

8/10.

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.
