- Previously on
"New Amsterdam"...

- Somebody reported that you

have a problem with Adderall.

- You're asking me if I've
ever risked a patient's life

because I'm stoned.

- Yeah, and you haven't
answered the question.

- What do you think
would happen

if you stopped helping people?
Who would they see?

- They would see
a corny, nerdy,

fat, worthless nothing.

- All right, since you all
prescribe 79% of our opioids,

I am giving you one year

to prescribe 79% less,

and anyone who doesn't
will be fired.

- I think they're clean.

- The damage to his heart
was extensive.

The virus also ravaged
the surrounding heart muscle.

- How bad?

- Even if you found the best
heart surgeon in the world,

I'm not sure it'd be enough.

Here's Vijay's cardiac echo.

- What do you mean
"can't operate"?

- His mitral valve, it's
greater than 60% regurgitation.

That's secondary to a ruptured
papillary muscle.

- I didn't fly you out here
to not operate.

- Listen, his EF is under 20%.

These numbers aren't even
compatible with life.

- Right, which is exactly why
you need to fix the valve.

- I can't fix it
because the virus has damaged

the heart muscle
around the valve.

There's nothing to sew
a new valve into.

- Doing nothing
isn't an option.

- I didn't say
I was doing nothing.

Look, I'm gonna use a catheter.
- TAVR?

- All right,
I'm gonna place a clip...

- A clip?

- Into the mitral's weakened
area--that should fix it.

- He's dying, Floyd.
He needs surgery.

- Okay, look, you brought me
here because of my expertise,

and because you trust me.

Right now my expertise
is saying this.

- I gotta go.

- What happened to
"How can I help?"

- The virus hit us hard.
Nothing's the same.

- My hospital had three.

- Three what?

- Only three deaths.

I feel guilty just saying it.

- Don't.
You were spared.

I wish we were.

Especially Lauren.

It hit her the worst.

Maybe three.

I thought you might enjoy
a full-bodied Ethiopian roast,

I'll take the coffee,

Vijay's gonna die

I have OCD,

won this round.

- Ah, I wish it hadn't

because sitting is making
my leg cramps worse.

I stretch, but they just

been going on?

- Um, an hour or two?

I woke up breathing better

just as long.

She got diagnosed
with osteosarcoma a year ago.

She used to be happy,

but now the pain's killing her.

She can't even walk her dog.

The Oxy was helping,
but that idiot doctor of hers--

- He's been giving me
less and less for my pain.

Told me I had to be weaned off.

- And what is he giving you
as an alternative?

- Nothing.

stops today.

You're a patient
at New Amsterdam now.

- But my doctor
is at New Amsterdam.

- Brenna Argento.

- I know her well.
Stage three bone cancer.

- She can barely walk, and
yet you pulled her Oxy. Why?

- Because received a letter
from a Dr. Max Goodwin

saying that if I didn't,
I'd be fired.

- No, for overprescribing,
needlessly, recklessly,

but Brenna--
- Who wasn't the type

of patient you pictured
when you wrote it.

This is what happens when
you needlessly and recklessly

make a blanket policy without a

Because of you.

- Opioid prescriptions
at New Amsterdam are down 38%.

We've won awards.
We're a national model.

The Nyler family's
rightfully drowning

in class-action lawsuits.

- And yet,
deaths from narcotic overdoses

are skyrocketing.
Know by how much?

240%.
So mission accomplished?

- You instituted that policy.

- Yeah, to save lives, but that
policy was a blunt instrument

that put paper over people.

- So you're denouncing your own
hugely successful policy?

- Well, that's just it.
It wasn't successful.

Our books were clean, but
at the cost of hurting people

who needed our help.
We have to do better.

- By returning
to the halcyon days

when doled out highly addictive
drugs like Halloween candy?

- Karen, do you know what it
feels like to have bone cancer?

- Oh, Max.
- It's like being stabbed

over and over again

all day long
with a serrated knife,

and the only, the only thing,

that is gonna ease
that excruciating pain

is opioids.

Those aren't my words.

They're Brenna Argento's,

a patient that we...

that I let down.

- You don't convince me
opioids work.

That was never the issue.
This was always about abuse.

About ensuring the drugs
we send into the world

aren't getting our patients
hooked or being sold

or ending up
in the wrong hands.

- You're absolutely right.

- I don't like it
when we're fighting,

and you agree with me.
- No, you're right.

We can get opioids
to the people who need them

that are in safe--

in three weeks.

On a Friday.
And today's Tuesday.

wants to crash
this party early.

I'll be covering for
Dr. Richardson all day,

a lot of each other.

I'll be back in a bit

Relaxing is good.

to caloric restrictions

spanning over 72 hours.

Really, I'm fine.

every first-timer

who's just been
dragged to rehab.

- Whatever it is
that you think this is,

it isn't, and I don't
appreciate the accusation.

- Do you hide food?

- Lauren--

- Sometimes people starve
themselves after a binge,

and not for health reasons,
but because they feel ashamed.

a number on his heart.

here at New Amsterdam?

- He's not the only one.
- Approaching the left atrium.

You too?

- It was in the early days.

I wore the same mask day and
night for two weeks straight.

Then I was intubating
a patient,

got a focused blast
of exhaled air

right in my face.

I just felt the virus
coming through the mask.

Sure enough, three days later,
cough, fever, headaches.

- Yeah.
Vijay.

Why was he even here, you know?

I mean, his age, knowing
the risk, why even come in?

- How could he not?
- Vitals are stable.

- We all felt a sense of duty,

of pride even.

- What's that?
You can't...

Ah, sorry about that.

Hi, again.

There are quite a few of you
on this call,

and, well, you all have

something in common,

and that's that

you are all victims

of New Amsterdam's

opioid policy
that kept pain meds

from the people
who need them the most.

We failed you

in the most fundamental way

a hospital can.

You came to us in pain,

you asked for our help,
and we said no.

And what's worse,

is we shamed you for asking.

So I'm here to apologize

and to tell you
that that cruel policy

ends now.

- Yes!

- Finally.

- It's about damn time.

- Yeah, all patients will get

the prescribed opioids
they need

based on their pain levels,

and all have you to do
is swing by New Amsterdam

once a week
to pick up your pills.

Easy as pie.

- Wait, what?
-

- I can't do that.
- No, no.

We're gonna make it
very, very simple.

We're gonna establish
a special clinic.

- What the hell's
a special clinic?

- I live in Long Island.

It's a three-hour trip
if I'm lucky.

- Excuse me,
I have four kids and a job,

and you expect me
to spend my one day off

with you every week?

- Okay, I'm hearing
some concerns

about the policy that we were

all just very excited about.

But I'll just be honest.

The hospital has some concerns

about portion control.

- Portion control?
Like I'm five?

- No, no, no.

It's just that these pills
are highly addictive,

and we do need to make sure

that nobody is using

or distributing these pills
inappropriately.

-
So now you think I'm dealing?

- No.
- You just said

the shaming of chronic pain
treatment was over.

- And it is, but...

- Are you serious, Max?
- Come on.

- That's not gonna work.
- No way.

- Um...

- What a joke.
- I'm outta here.

- Come on, Max.
- This is ridiculous.

- Thanks for nothing.
- I'm closing this window.

Well, mmm, was seeing.

I don't know.

But we started dating
just when the pandemic hit,

and I thought about him
for months during the lockdown.

I fantasized about him.

But then, the other day,

when he reached out
to touch me, I pulled away.

I recoiled like I was
physically repelled by him...

And I don't know.
I don't know.

Is it me?

Am I that scared
to be touched by someone,

or is it him?

Did what we have,

did it just sort of...

But fast forward
to the interesting part.

Did he dump you?
Are you sad?

Aah!

- Was that a contraction?

Mmm!

The epidural seems to be

taking its sweet time.
- Yeah, it should've

kicked in by now.
Unfortunately,

is in the sub-dural space.

Uh, can we try again
the epidural?

You're too far along.

Ella, you're gonna
have to do this

on your own.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

- All right,
I know how this looks.

I do.
Believe me.

But these are my dad's words.

They're his words,

and growing up,

I had to hear them
practically every day.

My father struggled with
his weight his entire life,

and he didn't want me
to suffer the same fate.

So at an early age,

he took an interest
in my weight.

- An interest?

- Mm-hmm, yeah.

It started around
the third grade.

I filled out a little bit,
and, uh,

he would make me go
on crash diets

out of the blue,

skip meals, take meal
replacement bars to school.

- As a nine-year-old?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and...

he would make me
take my shirt off

so he could take pictures
of my body

to, um, put up on the wall
in the basement

next to the makeshift gym
that he'd built for me

to track my process.

There was
a body progress chart.

And if I would ever
walk by him,

he would smack my gut and say,

"Jesus, look at that thing."

"Got a lot of work left to do,
don't we, buddy?"

And what's worse is,

if I ever had a good weigh-in,
which was not very often,

I, uh,
I would be over the moon

because it would make me
feel loved.

Then...this one time,

I guess I would've been
in middle school by this point,

I just--I--

- No, it's okay.

It didn't work, obviously.

Ironically, I was too fat

for the rod
in the basement closet

to hold me up,
and it crashed down on my head,

- What?
What did your dad say?

- Oh.

My dad, um, well,

that night at my weigh-in,

he just snapped
another polaroid for the wall

and acted like nothing
ever happened.

- That's my dad for you.

These are his words,

but they don't control me
anymore.

They do not.

They serve as a reminder
of all of the things

that I have conquered,
which is a lot,

and sometimes
I look at these words,

and they remind that
I'm not that kid anymore

and that I'm making
better decisions.

I'm making healthy decisions
in my life.

And that I no longer need to
stand around with my shirt off

Will you look after

Ella and the baby?

- You've got this.

You can do it.

- Hey.

And I am dying...

- What are you talking about?
Don't be silly.

You are going
to be annoying her

for the rest of your life,
okay?

- Please.

- If something happens, I...

Yes.

Obviously.

- Good.

- Listen, Iggy.

- Lauren, I'm fine.
- No.

I never should've dragged
your kids into this.

I'm really sorry.

- A couple nights ago,
I was, uh,

I was wearing
this nice new sweater

that Martin gave me,
and, um...

Harper told me that
I looked handsome in it.

Then I immediately grabbed
my stomach,

and I told her
that she was wrong.

It just popped out of mouth.

I say things like that
all the time.

And Vijay thinks
that I'm a great father?

I'm teaching my kids

that someone who looks like me
doesn't deserve to be loved.

That is the same lesson
that my dad taught me.

Aw, man.

He just used different words.

- Iggy.

These aren't your dad's words.

You wrote this.

- I know.

- These are your words.
You're calling yourself this,

and you're keep suffering
until you stop.

-
If I can't stop,

this note, that voice...

It's the thing about myself
that feels the most true.

How do you stop believing that?

- Well, you could try
talking to a therapist.

- Hey, I did.

He saved my life.

- Come here.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Uh, K-Karen!

- Are the cops chasing you now?
- Uh, I don't know,

but I did come up with a solve
for our opioid issue,

and I think you're really
gonna like it.

- And here I thought
we knew each other better.

- Watermarking.

So every single opioid
that New Amsterdam sends out

into the world
will be watermarked

with invisible,
fluorescent fibers.

Every patient will have access

to the medicine they need
and without shame.

And they'll be able
to manage their pain,

and they'll be able to live
functional lives.

But if those pills ever do
end up in the street,

or in the wrong hands,
we'll know.

There will be
no drug trafficking,

and there will
be accountability.

Oh, and I almost forgot
the best part.

The Nylers are gonna
pay for it.

- Why would they do that?

- They kinda have to.

Part of their settlement
includes

donating millions of dollars
to public hospitals,

just like ours.

I don't know what to say.

It sounds like
a well-thought-out

and realistic plan.

- I know.
Weird, right?

- Karen.

Thank you
for keeping me accountable.

- That's my job.

And every once and a while,
it's worth it.

- I'm not ready.

- Okay.

- I mean,
I'm not ready to call it.
