On Tuesday Night, NBC's freshman medical drama New Amsterdam returned after a shocking fall finale, with a not so shocking political agenda.

Monday night's episode, titled “Six or Seven minutes,” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/89881-s1e10-six-or-seven-minutes/?do=getLastComment) was focused around New Amsterdam Medical Director Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) who suffered a medical emergency in the last episode related to his cancer. While the doctors were tied up with drama surrounding his unconscious state, they still had time for political nonsense.

At the beginning of the episode, the doctors are waiting for Max to come back to the hospital after taking time off with his wife, Georgia (Lisa O’Hare), and are unaware of his medical emergency. In the first scene, Dr. Frome (Tyler Labine) approaches Dora (Zabryna Guevara) sporting an obnoxious T-shirt reading "Reproductive Rights for All" and touting an even more obnoxious agenda.
