Another notable example is "New Amsterdam," which draws inspiration from Dr. Eric Manheimer's memoir. The show revolves around Dr. Max Goodwin (played by Ryan Eggold), the medical director of the United States' oldest public hospital, who aims to reform the institution's outdated practices. His storyline, particularly his romance with Dr. Allie Novick (played by Janet Montgomery), showcases the challenges of balancing a demanding medical career with personal relationships.
