I'm Really Going To Miss The Show "New Amsterdam"......

I just watched the best damn season finale of any show I've ever watched.

It put me in a good place. It tied up loose ends and created more hope for the future of the hospital.

I normally don't watch medical shows. I'm a retired medical professional and I've always wanted to put some distance between the job and a medical TV show. However, for some reason New Amsterdam resonated with me. It touched on real problems faced by medical professionals in both their jobs and their life.

It renewed the reason in me that I went into the medical profession and it shared the values that I have regarding choosing the medical profession as my life's work.

I'm going to miss Max's sad but caring and compassionate eyes. He spoke to me through his eyes.

I actually hope that the show is revived in the future - because the way it ended - in my opinion - left that hope open.

The creators, writers and actors did a fantastic job making sure that they touched on the dilemma's faced by medical professionals, a hospital and those that have to run a hospital. They always integrated topical issues into the program - and resolved them the way I would have wanted to if I were in their position.

I'm gonna really miss the show - but as finale's go - this was one of the best ways to end this show.
