Netflix’s ‘Emergency: NYC’ revolves around a group of medical personnel and emergency response people who work around the clock to save lives in New York City. While the show gives us an authentic sneak peek into the workings of hospitals and emergency rooms, cameras also follow professionals as they go about their day-to-day routine. It honestly is fascinating to witness how such medical personnel balance their professional and personal commitments while dealing with crises on a regular basis.
With the show relying on one-on-one interviews to help viewers understand the workings of a hospital, it introduces us to Dr. Elliot Grodstein, who specializes as a transplant surgeon.

Sometimes, organs are flown into the city from outside, and the transplant surgeon has to ensure that he gets his timing right for a successful operation. In fact, the show mentioned that there are times when, even after a successful organ transplant, the patient passes away on the operating table.
