Max Gives the New Amsterdam Doctors a Bold Ultimatum in the Fight Against Opioid Abuse

Dr. Max Goodwin is making a stand. In E! News' exclusive sneak peek of's Tuesday, Feb. 25 episode,"Double Blind," Max is making bold changes to the hospital.

"This is one dose, one pill of the opioid oxycodone. The pharmacy asked me for a prescription and seeing as I was only looking for a visual aid, I didn't have one. So, I had to drag our chairwoman here to the dispensary where we each had to sign waivers affirming our education intent. But if I sold you this pill or even just gave it to you, it's a loss of medical license for me and actual jail time for her," Max explains to the one percent of the staff of doctors in the room.

Max means business. The doctors aren't on board with his thinking, so just wait until the sweeping changes he puts in place. "Since you all prescribe 79 percent of our opioids, I am giving you one year to prescribe 79 percent less. And anyone who does not meet that mark, will be fired," he tells the doctors."Double Blind" also features Dr. Helen Sharpe going to great lengths to prove a point. Hey, these doctors are passionate!recently got a big renewal from NBC. It's sticking around for at least three more years through the 2022-2023 TV season.

shaunpcassidy I personally don't tolerate most drugs. Prefer natural. But am in severe chronic pain most of the time. Many people in my support groups do welk and function versus lying in bed all the time, because they are on opuods. So this is very troubling. Doesn't mean your an addict.

shaunpcassidy Is this something that the Chronic Pain community should watch? And the doctors that is trying to help, but . . .

shaunpcassidy Wow Shaun! Your episode on ENews!
