This new docu-series follows the lives of a diverse cast of healthcare pros, including paramedics, nurses, emergency physicians and surgeons. On this podcast, we speak with two of the people featured in Emergency NYC: David Langer, MD, and his patient Julian Primiano, a young opera singer who underwent brain surgery. Dr. Langer is the chair of neurosurgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, one of several Northwell hospitals where filming took place. Others include: Cohen Children's Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Huntington Hospital and South Shore University Hospital. Cameras even followed one Sky Health flight nurse through her day-to-day working Northwell's state-of-the-art emergency helicopter service.
Both Julian and Dr. Langer share their struggles and triumphs and what it's like to watch their journey on Netflix.
