As season finales air and shows come to a close, I spring into action and find new trailers for shows that are airing in the fall. While I stay on the tried and true path of watching 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'NCIS,' just for the sake of finishing the whole series from start to finish, I look forward to finding new shows to start watching just to be able to sit and sink my teeth into something fresh. 'New Amsterdam' seems like one of those shows that has the promise of not selling out in the first season.

Ryan Eggold, the actor behind the ever-popular Tom Keen on 'The Blacklist,' stars in this new medical drama as Dr. Max Goodwin, the new medical director who is attempting to breathe life into an understaffed and underfunded hospital that used to be a crown jewel several decades ago.

He does not seem to take no for an answer and tries to bring out the best in jaded surgeons, cardiologists, and internists. From firing the cardio-surgical department for putting billing above care to encouraging doctors to help patients as human beings when nothing else can be done, this doctor is attempting to mold a broken system into a united entity that can actually stand a chance against the changing face of medicine. And the game-changer? He has been diagnosed with cancer.

'New Amsterdam' may seem at face-value to be a 'me-too' medical drama about the new hopeful that takes a stand against the norm, however there some big implications for having a show like this on a major network that is worth mentioning.

The first major implication is that the protagonist is not naive about how arduous the healthcare system is. The cancer diagnosis strikes fear in all of us because even though we know so much about it now there is still so much that is still a mystery. For our 'boy wonder' to be afflicted with it not only makes hearts melt but it shows people that this guy is not someone who is unfamiliar with what the other side looks like.

Putting it into real-world perspective, there are many patients that feel that their doctor does not take into account the emotional turmoil that they are going through. However, television is presenting a guy that has walked a mile in those very same shoes and is not necessarily talking out of his ass. Ultimately this means that people cannot write off every healthcare professional as by the book.

The second implication is that Goodwin is trying to get his colleagues to focus on patient care to serve those that fall through the cracks which hint at the utility value of universal healthcare. The trailer depicts a boy of African descent descending from the airport to the front doors of New Amsterdam only to be taken seriously when he is suspected to have Ebola.

Our perceptions of foreign diseases force us to take care of those who cannot afford good healthcare which is a good thing for the underserved but a terrible thought, if all any doctor is ever good for, is to 'make America great again.' This little tidbit from the trailer highlights the benefit of giving access to all people (which just so happens to be the reason Obamacare came into existence).

The third implication is that health care bureaucracy became more prevalent and the people that need to change are the healthcare providers. By firing those who care more about they are billed rather than how well their patients are doing, it sets a tone for the viewer that this will be a show about procedure rather than romance. It is business rather than pleasure.

I could only really make three sorts of implications based on a 2-minute trailer but any show that focuses on real issues but utilizing TV characters makes for better television in the long run.

'New Amsterdam' is starting to prove to be a good premise with the potential to have long-lasting fans because of the relation to real-world problems with the perception of healthcare. The question left to ask is if it will last longer than one season. My hope is that it does.
