New York : Au cœur de l'urgence

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
