There comes a time in every medical drama’s “life” for dominos — the surgical kind, of course! It’s a complicated procedure, but New AmsterdamSeason 1 Episode 7, “Domino Effect,” is diving right in.
A domino donor surgery involves six donors giving organs to six patients, and all people must give so everyone can live. It makes for a great episode, because it usually involves strangers relying on each other — giving their organ (usually a kidney) to a stranger and relying on another stranger to do the same so the person they love can live.
It always gets sticky, so expect someone to get cold feet and leave six lives hanging in the balance. We’re most excited to see Bloom bond with a patient, though. She really needs to lower some of her walls!
Episode description: A big domino transplant procedure is on the line, and Max must decide if he can be present in the hospital while also dealing with his illness. Meanwhile, a bond with a patient makes Bloom consider her personal life, and Iggy makes progress on a long-standing case. (TVGuide.com)
