So #NewAmsterdam is a new medical drama about “breaking all the rules” and “tearing up the bureaucracy.” Worth a live tweet a la #TheResident?
Bets on “third leading cause of death” myth?
Sex at work?
Arrogance and bullying presented as competence?

I’ll start at 10 EST/9 central. I promise to give it a fair shake. But at the same time these shows decry medical error they attack the entire notion of having systems - preferring charismatic rogues - which is the main mechanism for trying to mitigate individual fallibility.

The hospital is nick-named "the Dam", seems ominous. But yes, Oxygen for CO poisoning. So far so good. Apparently it's based on a book about Bellevue. By an actual doctor. Doing better than The Resident already.

The director has apparently introduced himself by changing in the janitorial locker room (I think they would notice) and eavesdropping. Not exactly building trust. And the actors read lines like they think things are all one word defibventilatorACLS.

One of the conceits is he isn't waiting to learn anything before he's deciding to run things his way. That's not a great sign for a leader. He's been here one hour and pissed off the janitorial staff and one of the more prestigious physicians.

Oh, god. He's firing all the cardiac docs and saying he's going to be hiring 50 more attendings because residents allow the existing attendings to golf. WTF?

He better be hiding 15 million dollars in his pants with some spare cash for impressive signing bonuses. Doctors aren't going to line up to work at a trainwreck hospital run by fickle tyrant.

I doubt that $15 million would be enough.
