What Season 1 of New Amsterdam

Max Goodwin arrives as medical director of New Amsterdam, one of the oldest public hospitals in the United States. The center has little funding and a bureaucracy that delays patient care. Max decides to break the rules and change the way things are done, with the help of a team made up of Sharpe, Bloom, Reynolds, Kapoor and Iggy. The cases that come in are wildly varied: patients infected with Ebola, prisoners and even the President of the United States. While he tries to turn the hospital around, Max also wants to win back his wife, who is pregnant, and lives with a diagnosis that weighs on his decisions.
