'NY Med' with Dr. Oz: Beautiful and moving

Nope, and "NY Med" brings it all home with power, beauty, insight and a degree of emotion that's an occasional sharp uppercut to the jaw.

"NY Med" is unscripted storytelling at its best, but it certainly helps to have the right components for this kind of story, notably the nurses and doctors (and not just that wizard Oz, either) and a stream of humanity at its most vulnerable. There are a few transplant stories crafted for maximum emotional impact, though an unexpectedly poignant moment arrives in the third episode when an elderly woman named Virginia, suffering from alcohol poisoning, dies in the ER. She's a "frequent flier" -- a frequent patient of years' standing -- and it's the nurses' moment to cry when she's bagged. Wrong and his production team bring these stories into such sharp relief that it's impossible not to become invested in them on some visceral level. You will get to know ER nurses such as Diana Costine, Katie Duke and Marina Dedivanovic, and doctors such as Sebastian Schubl, Anthony Watkins and Arundi Mahendran. You will also admire them -- especially their heart and passion -- which makes this not just uplifting TV but very nearly inspirational as well.
