Clip From Canceled Show “New Amsterdam” Goes Viral After Astonishing Medical Claim – “Your Son’s Tumor Was Caused by Racism”
A controversial clip from the television series New Amsterdam has gone viral.
The medical drama which aired on NBC from 2018 to 2023 focuses on a medical director’s attempts to reform one of the United States’ oldest public hospitals. As one might expect from a mainstream TV show, liberal and progressive politics were constantly inserted into the law (likely contributing so its cancelation).
One particular scene features a psychiatrist speaking to a mother whose son, Cephas Fernandez, has been diagnosed with a tumor. The psychiatrist tells the parent that her son had answered some questions which were “designed to measure someone’s level of social resistance”.
“Your son feels threatened on a daily basis, like everything he’s earned can be taken away. He’s disenfranchised,” he tells the mother. “But because his life is seemingly free from all this, because he can’t name it, he’s internalizing it.”
“Name what?” responds the parent.
“Racism… I think your son’s tumor was caused by racism,” the psychiatrist replies, dead serious.
You have to see it to believe it. Prepare to cringe…. or burst out laughing (or both).
Despite being over four years old, the clip caused widespread mockery as it wasn’t by most until today (the show’s ratings were poor enough to get it canceled, mind you).
Another social media user by the name of @bostonwriter speculated what other Woke-induced diseases the show’s teenager may have suffered.
Fortunately, Cephas later makes a recovery, although he has told that he has to “name it” if he wants to treat his tumors caused by racism.
New Amsterdam only ran for five seasons before it was pulled from the airwaves. Perhaps the medical practitioners knew their time was up…
In reality, the show was cancelled because of declining ratings and lower viewership figures. Who could possibly know why?
