It is a little odd for a medical director to wear scrubs rather than a suit when he is introducing himself to the medical staff. He mentions he and his sister were born here but she died from a hospital acquired infection which was "totally preventable." Here we go.

That's debatable. Now, he's asking for ideas...silence. And when he doesn't get an answer, he fires the entire cardiac surgery department for placing billing over care. Theoretically admirable but this is group punishment, scary, and extreme, how will you acquire new talent?

If people can't trust the hospital isn't being run by a fickle lunatic, why would you trust them enough to come work there? It's not like it's a small deal to onboard new faculty, doctors and nurses. It also entails huge risks for the new employees. This is madness.

He then says he will hire 50 new attendings because "untrained residents" will no longer run the hospital. Good luck with that, now that they've heard you just fired an entire department on your first day. This guy seems like a malignant monster. Run for the hills.

He says, "let's be doctors again." By eliminating the waiting room. So triage is no longer part of medicine. Riiiight. This seems like the fantasy of a malignant narcissist that such a leader would be considered a good person. This is Trump medicine.

Just say impossible things and expect that they'll just happen, without a plan, without study, without considering for a second the human costs of your actions. Now all I can see is Donald Trump, as a medical director, being presented as a "good guy."

Oooh shock. It turns out that firing the entire cardiac surgery department struck an innocent person, and he immediately has to walk back a radical thoughtless action. He now tasks this person to build a new department that he just set fire to. Trumpian medical drama.

Now for pointless drama, a patient shows up with possible Ebola. Because during outbreaks we allow diaphoretic, febrile people onto planes and clear customs no problem... You can have drama short of hemorrhagic fever you know.

My wife has bailed. Too stupid to tolerate. Too reminiscent of Trump. Apparently they had BSL IV level ebola isolation just ready to go. Good for them.

Replying to @MarkHoofnagle

@USATODAY got it right when its reviewer labeled@NBCNewAmsterdam as "obnoxiously cheesy."https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2018/09/24/new-amsterdam-review-nbc-medical-drama-ryan-eggold/1366998002/ …2 replies 1 retweet 3 likes
Best line from the review: "Or, rather, the genius man with a heart of gold at the center of the series thinks he can solve the health care crisis, seemingly because he's the first doctor to ever value people over money." Yep.
